First sentence: Since 1807, when Charles and Mary Lamb published Tales from Shakespeare, adaptations of Shakespeare's plays have attempted, more or less successfully, to broaden the audience for these plays-or perhaps, to restore to Shakespeare the full audience he had known in the seventeenth century.
Description: This manual offers a wealth of instructional tools, including background information on Shakespeare's sources, his life, his theater, and stage directions; suggestions for teaching the play; detailed summaries of every scene; questions and answers for every act; an annotated bibliography; a guide to pronouncing proper names; a Shakespearean time line; and and alphabetical glossary of terms.
Notes: Original text and facing-pages translation into contemporary English
