Excellent balance between original text and notes
These editions are my favorite ones to use with middle and high school students. They are slim; the page layout is attractive, with lots of white space and good illustrations; and the glossed words are well-chosen, the glosses well-done. In addition, the book provides useful background notes and act / scene summaries. In the past I have tried the following editions: Folger Library. Popular in schools, and easily the runner-up for an edition. My only objection is that the contemporary images (for instance, the title page of a 16th-century fencing manual) don't draw the readers into the text. Also, the textual apparatus is distracting; high school students don't need to know which old edition the editor has drawn on for a particular line. Cambridge School Shakespeare. A very good resource for a classroom teacher looking for activities that will draw the students into the text. However, sometimes the text gets lost in the activities. The book is also a bit heavy. You can get one copy for yourself and choose the activities / study questions to use. SparkNotes No Fear Shakespeare. I used this with a couple of private students when I was being overly-cautious about their ability to understand the bard. Since then, I've simply raised my expectations. Now, I require students to paraphrase as much of the play as possible; I find they can read the text with little difficulty by Act 5. (Also, I've realized that some plays are just too difficult. I love 1 Henry IV, but the bar scenes are too hard for average school-age readers.) Penguin Classics. Used these when TAing for a college course. They seemed good for high-achieving college kids. No pictures or teaching suggestions. Another excellent resource is Practical Approaches to Teaching Shakespeare, by Peter Reynolds. I got a lot of great feedback from students when using the exercises for Macbeth.

Très bon
Le livre est en très bon état, les indications très claires. Beaucoup mieux qu'une édition bilingue (français-anglais) qui gâcherait peut être un peu le plaisir de la lecture et l'envie de comprendre à la manière des étudiants anglais une pièce Shakespearienne. Idéal pour les étudiants français qui poursuivent un apprentissage de la langue anglaise.

学校教科書用ということもあり、読みやすく構成されている。
台詞の英語は、現代英語であり、読みやすい。注釈の箇所と台詞の箇所は分かれていて便利である。 また、劇中の写真もあり、場面の理解を助ける。
