    • Wow! Really easy to use
Finally my class has an easy way to follow Shakespeare's complicated language. If you know the meaning in the original, fine. Otherwise, directly across from it is a modern translation that explains the Bard's words. No complicated footnotes either. The questions at the end really show what's important to get from the play, also. ... show more

    • Great for all students!
I have taught Macbeth to college-prep and Advanced Placement twelfth-graders every year for over twenty years. As reading levels have gone down and the canon of available books has shrunk due to increasing censorship, the need to teach real literature has become even more pressing. I began to despair that I'd have to stop teaching Shakespeare because even my "advanced" students were having more and more trouble dealing with the language, especially the long sentences and the multiple extended similes. Than God for Prestwick House's Side-by-Side! Most "modern language adaptations" of Shakespeare's plays are flat and oversimplified, but the Side-by-Side still provides the student some "meat" to "chew on." Plus, I love the fact that Shakespeare's original text is right there as well, so I can still require my kids to grapple with Shakespeare's use of language while they use the modern translation to enjoy the story. It's the best of both worlds. I will definitely look for more Side-by-Sides and encourage everyone in a position like mine to try them out. ... show more

    • Might want to investigate other options
There's nothing horribly wrong about the Prestwick House 'Side-by-Sides' edition of Macbeth, for the most part it gets the job done. I am, however, disappointed with it myself and would recommend looking at other publishers' editions for modern translation of Shakespeare. Because instead of translating Shakespearean English into modern English, the Prestwick House edition just transliterates it - moves the words around to form a modern sentence structure, drops in a few synonyms for out-of-date words, and changes punctuation. Now for most of the book, this works fine. But sometimes the language needs more of an interpretation than is given, and that, as they say, the rub. Plus the thing is riddled with typographical errors. Come on, you're selling this to an education market! Do a little editing! All-in-all I'd look elsewhere for a modern Shakespeare translation. But using this one won't be the end of the world. ... show more
