Book excerpt: Many people have said to me, 'I wish we'd had this book when I was in school.' It is the book I would have liked when I was studying Shakespeare. It is also the book I would have liked when I was teaching in high school. Twentyfirst Century Shakespeare is a new and exciting approach that opens up Shakespeare to a new generation of students. The text is the full traditional Shakespearean text presented in a more familiar, friendly, helpful format.

The notes in the margins make things easier by shedding light on tricky words and phrases.

This is warm fuzzy Shakespeare designed to make your life a little easier. But don't take my word for it, open the book and take a look inside. If you are teaching Shakespeare, you will save so much time and energy. You can concentrate on developing your student's breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding. You will hear your students read with more fluency and confidence, with greater expression and comprehension. Teachers can cover more ground and concentrate on what they feel is important. You can help your students make a real connection with Shakespeare. Take a look inside and see how Twentyfirst Century Shakespeare can make life easier in your classroom. This book evolved from my experience in the classroom. When Shakespeare was introduced into the lower secondary school curriculum in the UK it became compulsory for 13 and 14 year olds to study a Shakespeare play. The students I taught were used to reading other plays and came to Shakespeare with a genuine enthusiasm and a willingness to participate in a classroom reading of Romeo and Juliet. To be fair, they had no trouble reading the short exchanges such as the banter between Samson and Gregory at the beginning of the play but they did struggle when confronted with longer passages. At first I assumed that the problem lay in the language - unfamiliar vocabulary, archaic grammar and syntax and the sheer complexity of Shakespeare's verse. But many students also struggled with longer passages that weren't intrinsically difficult - just long. The solution came when I realised that they were reading to the rhythm of the blank verse, ignoring intonation, punctuation and meaning. I knew that actors often use the technique of marking their scripts at each punctuation mark. This helps them get the sense and structure of a speech. I wondered if this would also work in the classroom. So I reformatted the blank verse into lines based on meaning rather than iambic pentameters. I also paragraphed the longer speeches to give a more modern look and feel. It worked. In fact it worked like magic. Since then I have added annotations to help with difficult words and phrases and other features unique to these editions. But Shakespeare re-formatted is the essence of Twentyfirst Century Shakespeare. When I was a school boy, many years ago, only Grammar school pupils read Shakespeare in the UK. Even so, many of these brightest of pupils were turned off Shakespeare. Now we have a system in which all pupils, regardless of academic ability are expected to make some sort of sense of at least one Shakespeare play. The least we owe them is a text they can read. And who knows, they even enjoy it. Many people find that removing the straitjacket of blank verse makes the plays easier to read. They also find that it liberates the dramatic spirit of the plays and actually enhances the beauty, power and natural rhythms of Shakespeare's language. If blank verse is of primary importance to you, then this book may not be for you. This is Shakespeare for the rest of us.
