[Rachel Trimble]

With a little help from our professor this actually helped to explain why Shakespeare wrote the way he did, also it's meant to be heard not read, which is reiterated throughout the book. It also helped explain the rhythm of how he wrote and if there are some differences in sentence structure it probably has a purpose

Would Recommend?
If you read a lot of Shakespeare, or are planning to, it wouldn't be a bad idea
If you are planning to perform Shakespeare, I would say this would definitely help
