Customer Reviews

Arden Shakespeare
In some respects I think it'd be rather presumptuous of me to attempt to review Shakespeare. Someone so well known and influential wouldn't benefit from my opinions on their work, plus there are more scholarly and concise reviews out there. But I can comment on these Arden versions. Of all the Shakespeare I've read I've always found the Arden copies to be well laid out and to have excellent commentary and notes on the text. They really add to your understanding of Shakespeares outstanding plays and introduce you to the depth in his work. They have superb paper quality and are bound well, withstanding repeated readings and intensive study. For your collection of Shakespeare you can't do much better than Arden publications, some are quite hard to get hold of but it's worth the effort.

Arden Shakespeare is the way to go!
Shakespeare's classic - full of intrigue, excitement and extremely famous lines - is presented in my by far preferred edition - Arden. It's on high quality paper, has great introductions written by current experts on Shakespeare, and has notes to accompany the text to give all but the most knowledgable Shakespeare readers something new to learn (at least according to my more knowledgable friends!). And most importantly from my point of view, the notes that accompany the Arden edition are complete enough for me (a relative novice), to learn and understand far more of Shakespeare's texts than I ever have before!

I firmly believe that the Arden editions are the way forward for Shakespeare buyers to go!
