 Shakespeare Made Simple October 28, 2008

I'm a lifelong Shakespeare fan who has recently discovered the No Fear series of "translations" of the plays. Although I had considered myself comfortable with Elizabethan dialect, I've learned a lot from the No Fear
books. However, especially in Romeo and Juliet, one is struck by how the
pleasure in reading the play is in the language, not the plot. Side-by-side with modern English, Shakespeare's poetry is even more luminous.
No Better Way to Read or Teach Shakespeare January 31, 2009
Big D (Auburn, AL. USA)
Can't imagine a better way to read or teach Shakespeare than the No Fear Shakespeare concept....orginal text on the left hand page, contemporary "translation"--our language--on the right hand page.
The tragic beauty of Romeo and Juliet gets better time. Young love is still young love, but the older one gets, the more young love is apprectiated, the youth of the lovers, their hopes, their dreams, their obsessions, their foolishness, their folly and, yes, their endearments and their commitment to honor and to each other.
There is a reason Shakespeare never disappoints and this is one of them...and having the original text and the easily understood text right next to it makes this play especially moving and enjoyable.
The reader may well be surprised at how many quotes we take forgranted in modern laguage and idiom come from this play.

As a teacher on the high school level, this has proved to be extremely valuable!
NOFEAR SHAKESPEARE- ROMEO AND JULIET February 10, 2010
Sunshine
This is an excellent book. It gives you the original version of the play along with the play written out in plain modern English. This is great if you really find the old language difficult to understand. I highly recommend this book for studying purposes. Use it in conjunction with Cliffs notes and you have it made.
