## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very Helpful Introduction
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2013*

I bought this copy of Lear to help my wife, who has great trouble with Shakespearean English, get familiar with the play before we went to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to see it.  Though the translations into contemporary English are, at times, jarring and lacking any sense of the Bard's poetry, the book was very helpful.  I recommend the translation to anyone struggling to understand either the language or the play.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Much which was obscure is better illuminated.
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2015*

Readable (and performable) translation into modern English. Now, much which was obscure is better illuminated.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    King Lear Made Simple
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2013*

This was a great study tool for me.  I used along with several other versions we had to use in class.  Liked it.
