No fear? No proper understanding.

I'll use one line to show the problem with this text. Many other lines have a similar problem. Shakespeare has:"Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you,trippingly on the tongue."'No Fear' has:"Perform the speech just as I taught you, musically and smoothly."Do you really have to...

A Must have for HS students

What is there to say?? If your a person living in the 21st century you probably have no idea the terms used in Shakespeare's time, so its basically hopeless reading the play without a guide such as this one. I only started to actually understand, and therefore appreciate Shakespeare's stories...

Not a Review of Hamlet, but of "No Fear Shakespeare"

It would serve no useful purpose to write a review of Hamlet. It has already taken its rightful place among mankind's greatest works. The subject here is not Hamlet, but the manner in which it is presented:Numbered, original text on the left hand page, modern, up-to-date language on the right...

Hamlet Spark Notes No Fear Shakespeare

This is truly a No Fear way to understand Shakespeare. There is a modern day interpretation writing on one side of the book and the Shakespeare way on the other. It was a lifesaver!

Golden Gate to Shakespeare

Bravo to the writers, editors, and publishers of the entire No Fear Shakespeare series. Rendering Shakespeare into prosaic, colloquial American English not only explains what Shakespeare was saying, but reveals how much better he said it! Here's a few examples from HAMLET:Hamlet sees the Ghost,...

Getting Into Shakespeare

Man, I wish I would've had this book 25 years ago!I've always been interested in Shakespeare but it's been hard introducing anyone else I know to the greatness of his plays: the language is just too hard for most people to follow. Thankfully, the No Fear Shakespeare books have come along, and...
