Hi all,
I do wish English Teachers would attempt to be intelligent!! Nimit, this book is a rendition of William Shakespeare's works, but it is probably written in Modern English or has editor's notes added. Have you tried looking for SparksNotes? Those are its editor. You do need to know which play you're going to be reading. Apparently, this editor has done many of Shakespeare's plays in the same way. I looked on Amazon, found lots of 'em, ranging in paperback from $1.00 to $6.00. Try Learning Ally.
Oh yes, it isn't a novel, it's a play, drama, as they say. Good heavens didn't your English teacher tell you all this? Which play is it? Frankly, one should read Shakespeare in its original Elizabethan, but that's just me. If you water it down, especially some of the more bawdy parts, you miss the whole point of things. "Ah, the course of true education never did run smooth ...".
