About the Author
William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—their older daughter, Susanna, and the twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent, not in Stratford, but in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He had a successful career in London as a playwright and actor and was a shareholder in the acting company the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men. He produced most of his plays between 1589 and 1613. Sometime between 1610 and 1613, Shakespeare is thought to have retired from the stage and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616.

What's not to love about marvelous Barbara Mowat's student friendly Folger editions?
An ESL, literature, and theatre teacher on the Navajo Reservation, I used the Folger introduction as a spring board for dazzling research projects. The introduction to reading Shakespeare's language, "broke the code" of the syntax, freeing students to be literary detectives and unravel the meaning of challenging passages. The section on Shakespeare 's education was pivotal in our debate to determine if William was indeed the author of the play. The scene-by-scene plot summaries were indispensable. The wonderful images and explanatory notes, placed on pages facing the text, supported close reading.
I favor Arden editions when directing a play, but they have too many annotations for high school students and distract the flow of the script.
Scholarly but not intimidating, Folger editions are affordable, welcoming. When I use Folger editions in my classes, I am confident that I've given my students a splendid entrance into Shakespeare's world and imagination. Pair this edition with the stellar bank of lesson plans available on the Folger Library's website and the "Shakespeare Set Free" teaching guides created by talented high school teachers, fellows of the renowned Teaching Shakespeare Institute. If you do, the way you teach Shakespeare will be transformed: Your students will become active, engaged learners, and their understanding and love of this play will skyrocket.
To earn five stars, make this edition even more student friendly. Include a "Breaking the Code" chart of Shakespeare's language and colored pictures of productions performed at the Folger Library with interviews from the directors and actors.
