5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the greatest works of English literature,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antony and Cleopatra (Arden Shakespeare, 3rd Series) (Paperback)
This is one of the greatest works of English literature and does not deserve to be reviewed by people such as the American listed above. Intelligent people do not read Shakespeare to gain information about the time and place of the plot. We do so primarily because we are interested in the human condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Not all USA readers are as dense as "Reader from USA" below,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antony and Cleopatra (The BBC TV Shakespeare) (Paperback)
One of the best plays ever written. Although a bit too diffuse for me to rank it as high as the 4 great tragedies which preceded it, no other plays ever written rank as high as those 4. This may well be the best of the rest.
