Teaching Shakespeare at any level is challenging. Invariably it involves a balancing act between making the material accessible (at the risk of dumbing it down) and facilitating the grasp of Shakespeare's infinite wisdom (at the risk of alienating everyone but graduate student nerds!). This is the first (only?) product that manages that perfect balance between the two. It equally entertains and informs. Many Shakespeare teaching guides appeal to readers by pulling them away from the (admittedly difficult) language. This one pulls readers into the language — wherein the true beauty lies. It strikes the right mixture of contemporary entertainment and engagement with the work itself. Moreover it displays the unusual modesty of positing leading questions rather than imposing preachy interpretations. Not only is this a valuable aid for teachers and students of Shakespeare but it also stands on its own as delightful content for a general audience.
