 Excellent resource March 11, 2007

I teach high school students and must say that this book has been a valuable resource throughout our unit on Julius Caesar. My students are finally grasping what is being read and have really enjoyed the reading thus far. If only there had been a reference tool around like this when I was in school!!! The title is absolutely right, there is No Fear in reading Shakespeare any longer.

As an older adult that is somewhat isolated I started the study of Shakespeare on my own with just a big book that had annotaions that were often more cofusing than enlightening. It was rewarding but it was like plowing through a field full of big rocks. I found reading two or three scenes of an act with No Fear Shakespeare and then reading the corresponding section of Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare great fun. No Fear explains the nuances of language and setting while Asimov gives rich insight to the characters and events that makes it so easy to remember the varied characters and plot twists.
I found this method makes Shakespeare infinitely more easy to not only get through but savor and enjoy. My plan is to get as much of No Fear Shakespeare as I can including all the plays that I have gone through so laboriously in the past and apply the No Fear/Asimov technique. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.

Actually, I purchased this book for my granddaughter for an English class. The book is excellently presented and was everything we needed to help in the class.

Lend me your ears....
After all these years, like fine wine, Julius Caesar gets better and better...
Haven't read it in 46 years, not since English class my junior year in high school. It was good then, better now.
Good, fast moving story, plots, intrigue, nobleness, and treachery...all the elements of mankind so mixed in a play that all the world might stand and say, "Damn, that was good..."
And all those good, wonderful and memorable quotes, too many to list.
Maybe not Shakespeare's "deepest" play, but one of his best and most enduring...."How many times in ages hence..."
As always the No Fear Shakespeare series is exceptional, with all the old and best of the new in one volume. Format and presentaton can't be beaten.
And here's to good English teachers, like Mrs. Hazel Mullenix at GHS in 1964.They made a difference and continue to make a difference.
