The New Clarendon Shakespeare aims primarily at presenting the text in such a way that it is can be easily read and understood. The language of Shakespeare presents considerable difficulties to the beginner, difficulties which are constantly overlooked by readers familiar with the plays. In this edition, the main emphasis has been placed on the interpretation of words and phrases, rather than on such linguistic matter as received much space in the old Clarendon Press editions of Clark and Wright. The notes have been divided, short glosses being placed below the text, while the more difficult passages are reserved for the commentary at the end. The latter, in the introductions to each scene and in the notes on individual lines, also gives full attention to points of literacy and dramatic interest which have rightly come to the fore in modern teaching of English literature. Discussion of the true text and a few other more difficult notes are printed in smaller type within square brackets. The commentary and the introduction are supplemented by a substantial selection from the best criticism of the play, both old and new.

Clássico é clássico. Foi mais difícil lê-lo em inglês, mas gostei de ler a história em sua versão "original".
