Product Description
The Oxford School Shakespeare is a well-established series which helps students understand and enjoy Shakespeare's plays. As well as the complete and unabridged text, each play in this series has an extensive range of students' notes. These include detailed and clear explanations of difficult words and passages, a synopsis of the plot, summaries of individual scenes, and notes on the main characters. Also included is a wide range of questions and activities for work in class, together with the historical background to Shakespeare's England, a brief biography of Shakespeare, and a complete list of his plays. For this new edition, the text of the play, the notes, and the introductory matter have all been revised so as to make them clearer and more accessible. In addition, the entire text of the book has been redesigned and reset to make it easier to read. Photographs of recent stage productions have been included and there is a new, attractive cover design. Roma Gill, the series editor, has taught Shakespeare at all levels. She has acted in and directed Shakespeare's plays, and has lectured on Shakespeare all over the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For A Student, May 8, 2002
This book was the Shakespeare book I read in grade 9 english class. It helped me by the left cloumn was where the words that were used in sentences were. Thats if you didn't understand the old words. I sure didn't so it helped me out a lot. I would recomend this book to anyone. It was a good play at least I think it was. At each new scene there was a synopsis of the scene and at the beginning of the book there was a character sketch of all the characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful to a student, February 27, 2002
By Kate (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
This version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is part of the Oxford School Shakespeare Series. It is the copy that was given to my 7th-grade honors English class a few weeks ago. Though I found the story a bit dull at times (what normal middle-schooler likes a book assigned for school), most of the sidenotes in this version were very helpful to me. This book offers an exact copy of Shakespeare's play, as well as sidenotes explaining words that are not used anymore. It also contains a lot of background information on the characters and a brief synopsis. In all, I would recommend this version to younger readers and students, as it offers a lot of helpful tools for better understanding of the play.
