No Fear has made the difference in my high schoolers hating Shakespeare vs loving his work because “he‘s so awesome” (their words). Bought these in prep for next year #homeschool to read alongside “regular” editions and I tell you: I wish I‘d had these options when I was in high school!! Side-by-side modern translation and original translation. My teens and I LOVE using them; I have no issue if it means they enjoy the lit and respect Shakespeare!

JacqMac Thanks for that. I have a teen, that I just know, is going to hate Shakespeare. This will come in handy. 5y
intothehallofbooks @JacqMac Absolutely! They‘re so cool. They have the same passage on each page spread-modern translation on one side, original translation on the other side. I‘ve also used these for The Canterbury Tales, Beowulf, and Nathaniel Hawthorne and I‘ve seen that there is one for the Constitution, which is pretty cool but I haven‘t actually seen it other than online. 😊 5y
MuddyPuddle Okay, I‘m sold - I‘ll try one! 5y
