Tales from Shakespeare

Key Features:
• 30.000 headwords with difficult words black-typed and explained.
• An introduction about the author and the work in hand.
• Keeping the original style of the original author if possible to give the students the opportunity to be able to read literary works and enjoy the idiosyncrasies of authors.
• A glossary at the end of the book, arranged in alphabetical order and explaining the meanings of the difficult words.
• Varieties of exercises to test the understandability of students.

Back-cover note: "Shakespeare's complex sentence structures and use of now obsolete words lead many students to think they are reading Old or Middle English. In fact, Shakespeare's works are written in Early Modern English. Once you see a text of Old or Middle English you'll really appreciate how easy Shakespeare is to understand."
