Now you can introduce Shakespeare to students of all ability levels—and help even reluctant readers learn to love his wit and dramatic expertise.
Prestwick House Side by Side editions of Shakespeare classics present both the original text and a modernized translation in a parallel format, encouraging your students to better understand each play without feeling overwhelmed by the Bard’s sometimes daunting language.
The parallel text approach makes it easier to perform a deeper analysis of the symbolism, figurative language, themes, and other literary elements Shakespeare masterfully incorporates within his plays.
