Julius Caesar In Plain and Simple English: A Modern Translation and the Original Version

This is good for anyone who doesn't speak elizabethan english. So basically everyone. The only caveat is, the plain English might be one sentence, where shakespeare has written a paragraph. If you want more of a line by line translation, I like "No Fear Shakespeare." If you're an English teacher, consider this one or No Fear Shakespeare for differentiated reading or scaffolding.

So easy to follow with this side-by-side Elizabethan and English copy. I read each scene and then watched it. Worth buying, you will get more out of your viewing experience.

I bought this book because I was unfamiliar with Shakespeare's plays and it really helped to have the modern translation.

I bought this book in hopes that the formatting would be fixed but I guess not, I would really appreciate if the editors would fix this. I need this for school & this is the only annotated & translated version here.

Great help. Thanks!

This book is a great book for dumbing down JC. I wish that the Act and Scenes were indicated on every page in bold letters. This would make referencing a lot easier.

You win some, you lose some. This wasn't a hit AT ALL. Although, I suppose you could use it for a literature class. It would go with a study guide if you are in to this type of literature.

I am not a literary reader, so with the translation, I was able to understand this masterpiece much better. Tremendous help to those who can't understand Shakespeare's originals.

Brilliant edition with side by side analysis and modern rendition. Highly recommended for all Shakespeare students.

Bought this to follow the movie with Marlon Brando very helpful

It is obvious that nobody bothered to proof-read the 'plain English' version. It is a poor quality translation and full of typos. It looks like a school project (B minus) and is not fit for sale.

This book has spelling mistakes and innacurate translations everywhere! It's not the first in this series that has mistakes in it either. The Merry Wives of Windsor is full of errors also. This really should be sorted out if you are prepared to take money from people. Not happy at all.
