Book Reviews of The Taming of the Shrew (No Fear Shakespeare)
Book Review: Absolutely great for students
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach Shakespeare classes to middle- and high-school aged students and have come to rely on the great series of No Fear Shakespeare texts. They truly do take away the "fear" that keeps people of all ages from enjoying Shakespeare's plays.
So many people, when they hear the very word "Shakespeare" immediately think, "Oh, that's not for me. There's no way I can understand what those characters are talking about."
With No Fear Shakespeare, they can. The plays are presented in their original Elizabethan English on the left hand page with the modern English version on the facing page. Incidentally, I also use The Taming of the Shrew (Cliffs Notes) with my students, teaching them to read the summary of each act before reading in their texts. The final step is watching the play on DVD -- there's lots of good Shakespeare on DVD at Amazon.com, both in the regular DVD store and in the Marketplace. Check out this great commedia dell'arte version by the American Conservatory Theater: The Taming of the Shrew (Broadway Theatre Archive)
As a professional educator, I really feel that a student can't go wrong with these handy books.
