Antony and Cleopatra (Shakespeare's Hot)

Rating:
Summary: Fantastic Editing!
Review: We all know the play. Everyone's read it, at least parts in school. But not everyone gets to read an edition so well edited, so finely crafted by such an editorial craftsman as Adam Frost. Were it not for the Frostian touch, Shakespeare in this play might just seem like another hack Elizabethan dramatist. But here, the words sing and soar. Frost has the ability to dramatize page numbers and italic type. Of whom else can one say, "That is the most perfectly placed editorial thought I've ever encountered? What a pleasure!" I heartily recommend this superbly edited volume.

Summary: Should be read for enjoyment.....not for historical facts.
Review: While reading "A Reader from USA's" review, I was disappointed. It surprises me that anyone would say they learned more in their history books than in Shakespeare's plays. If Shakespeare's main goal in life was to write plays soley based on history, he would've become a historian, instead of one of the greatest playwrites in history. Please keep that in mind whenever reading ANY of Shakespeare's plays.
