I really enjoyed reading this edition of the play. Each scene is proceded by a summary of the secene and followed by commentary on the scene, and there are notes alongside the text explaining unusual words/phrases. As an actor, I have been reading Shakespeare for quite awhile, and I still found this book very helpful. If you are new to reading Shakespeare, I particularly recommend this because you will find it very helpful.

I purchased this for my homeschooling 10th grader to read along with our Copy of Julius Caesar was very pleased with it. It is a lot thicker than I expected.Covers most everything and is a very good study help for the novel. I would recommend.

Diana Sweeney is a teacher. She not only teaches Shakespeare, she teaches Shakespeare to students who have limited English skills. She also produces the works of Shakespeare with her students(including, can you believe it, a production of Titus?). I urge my students to use Cliff Notes because they too are limited in English. This new version of Julius Caesar is so readable. Sweeney writes with the student in mind at all times and this fact shows. What a valuable tool this work is!!
