I've been teaching Romeo and Juliet to ninth graders for eight years, and this is by far the best edition I've used to teach. The commentary is helpful, and pointed out important topics for discussion. There is plenty of room to write notes in the margin -- in fact, I've got two copies, both with notes, so that I have an emergency backup! One of the most useful things I found in this edition is the character map in the beginning of the book, which I've modified into a handout that I give my students to help keep all the characters straight! I can't wait until Cliffs Complete has released versions of all of Shakespeare's plays!
I have to say that the information given in this book was definitely helpful. I liked how they summarized the following scene at the beginning of the scene and had commentary on the scene at the end. The commentary is definitly helpful, although it could be a little bit more in depth in places. It is particularly helpful how they define terms in the margins that may be unfamiliar to readers.Most of the information in the introduction/bio of Shakespere/etc. wasn't new to me and it seems pretty similar to the introduction in their other books, but it is still helpful for review and to readers who are unfamiliar with this information.Definitly recommended. Excellent study tool.
With all the Common Core hooplah, came a serious push in my district for Close Reading Strategies. The Cliffs Complete is great for that, because it has wide margins kids can annotate. Also, the background info and commentary are incredibly helpful for kiddos struggling with Shakespearean English.Overall, it's an excellent resource.
I work as a high school English teacher and I love the Cliffs Complete texts. I purchased Romeo and Juliet last year because it was my first time teaching the play and I wasn't too informed. There is a very valuable summary and analysis section after each scene which I found invaluable. Instead of having to peruse pages of literary criticisms and reviews, I just read this to get an understanding of the text. I imagine that college students (whether taking an intro course or advanced level lit class) will also benefit from using this text as supplemental to primary texts and sources.
I love the notes in this book.It was a great help compared to other books with english translation.This was more precise and brief.Would recommend to anyone studying it for school. The condition of the used book I bought was good.
Needed it for a class, was exactly what i expected: a love affair between 14-year-olds that lasted 3 days and killed 6 people
Just what daughter needed for school. About all I can say, but I have to fill up all of the words for a review.
Good and very detailed on the story.
