Julius Caesar: Oxford School Shakespeare

If you need or want to read Julius Caesar then this book will be good for you especially as it has a section where it explains what is going on and character profiles in language that is easy to understand.

The notes are really useful and the summary of each scene was something I regularly referred to.

Bought this for my daughter for learning this topic and making notes in the book as she was not able to do this with a school library book. This book was the cheapest in Amazon than anywhere else the moment we bought it.Thank you Amazon

I have enjoyed this reading this particular edition very much. The whole book seems extremely well laid out, and with the comments alongside Shakespeare's text, makes it a relatively easy read. The A5 size of the printing, and the quality of the paper, make it a bargain

Amazing

Very easy to read with explanatory notes at the side. Using it to familiarise myself with visit to the Globe.

For school

These editions are my favorite ones to use with middle and high school students. They are slim; the page layout is attractive, with lots of white space and good illustrations; and the glossed words are well-chosen, the glosses well-done. In addition, the book provides useful background notes and act / scene summaries. In the past I have tried the following editions: Folger Library. Popular in schools, and easily the runner-up for an edition. My only objection is that the contemporary images (for instance, the title page of a 16th-century fencing manual) don't draw the readers into the text. Also, the textual apparatus is distracting; high school students don't need to know which old edition the editor has drawn on for a particular line. Cambridge School Shakespeare. A very good resource for a classroom teacher looking for activities that will draw the students into the text. However, sometimes the text gets lost in the activities. The book is also a bit heavy. You can get one copy for yourself and choose the activities / study questions to use. SparkNotes No Fear Shakespeare. I used this with a couple of private students when I was being overly-cautious about their ability to understand the bard. Since then, I've simply raised my expectations. Now, I require students to paraphrase as much of the play as possible; I find they can read the text with little difficulty by Act 5. (Also, I've realized that some plays are just too difficult. I love 1 Henry IV, but the bar scenes are too hard for average school-age readers.) Penguin Classics. Used these when TAing for a college course. They seemed good for high-achieving college kids. No pictures or teaching suggestions. Another excellent resource is Practical Approaches to Teaching Shakespeare, by Peter Reynolds. I got a lot of great feedback from students when using the exercises for Macbeth.

Happy customer

Le livre est en très bon état, les indications très claires. Beaucoup mieux qu'une édition bilingue (français-anglais) qui gâcherait peut être un peu le plaisir de la lecture et l'envie de comprendre à la manière des étudiants anglais une pièce Shakespearienne. Idéal pour les étudiants français qui poursuivent un apprentissage de la langue anglaise.

台詞の英語は、現代英語であり、読みやすい。注釈の箇所と台詞の箇所は分かれていて便利である。 また、劇中の写真もあり、場面の理解を助ける。
