Product Description:
John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work is available both individually and as a set, and each contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary printed at the back. The edition, which began with The Tempest and ended with The Sonnets, put into practice the techniques and theories that had evolved under the 'New Bibliography'. Remarkably by today's standards, although it took the best part of half a century to produce, the New Shakespeare involved only a small band of editors besides Dover Wilson himself. As the volumes took shape, many of Dover Wilson's textual methods acquired general acceptance and became an established part of later editorial practice, for example in the Arden and New Cambridge Shakespeares.

This is obviously not a review of the play itself since the play gets 5 stars whether you like it or not (I happen to over the years come to like it less and less but it is nonetheless one of Shakespeare's greatest and best-known plays). The Arden editions came highly recommended to me by someone who has a Master's degree in Shakespearean literature. Yet, I was very unimpressed with the version. In fact, I found it more difficult to read than the less-well respected Folger's edition and I went ... Read More

I have used this recording with my students for several years and it does an excellent job of conveying how Shakespeare meant his play to be "seen." The actors do a great job of emoting as well as emphasizing what needs to be emphasized. It is easy to follow (sometimes a bit quick, but students catch up on it after a while). It is easy to read with the class (cd points stop with scenes, not in the middle of the action which makes it easier to pick up the next day). I would recommend this for any ... Read More

Accurately portrayed teen angst is the key to R&J, and Shakespeare knocked it out of the park with this one. If one reads this play closely they will find the gorgeous poetry and subtle humor and vulgarity pleasing, but what is more pleasing to the mature reader is the acute portrayal of teens who think they are in love. This must have been the go to teen reference of its day. There is locker room talk between Romeo and his buddies, especially Mercutio. (Mercutio is one of Shakespeare's dirtiest characters, ...
