A Short Guide to Writing About Art
Sylvan Barnet

Prentice Hall, 2007

Great reference guide
I purchased this book at the beginning of the semester and have found it an invaluable resource. This is my first term as a graduate student, and I don't think I could have survived had it not been for this book. It gives useful commentary, helpful hints and a ...
  
  











  



  
Doctor Faustus (Signet Classics)
Christopher Marlowe

Signet Classics, 2001

Marlowe's Masterpiece.
If you saw "Shakespeare In Love," you know this was the play of Marlowe's that was getting so much attention. (For that matter, I found this play better than "Romeo and Juliet," even though "Romeo and Juliet" was to become the big play at the climactic moment.) Moving ...

Short Guide to Writing About Literature, A (11th Edition) (Short Guides Series)
Sylvan Barnet, William E. Cain

Longman, 2008

Useful for Non-Majors
I teach literature to undergraduate students majoring in interdisciplinary arts and sciences, business, computer science, and nursing. Since I can't count on them having had training in writing about literature, I often assign specific sections of this text, or make ...

Falstaff: drunkard, sloth, and...paramour? This farce follows Sir John Falstaff-of the Henry IV plays-as he tries to woo two wealthy married women.

Tales From Shakespeare (Signet Classics)
Charles Lamb, Mary Lamb

Signet Classics, 2007

Ideal for family reading hour
The Lambs' classic book is an ideal read-aloud text and a perfect introduction to Shakespeare for young readers and listeners. We've found it suitable for our older children especially -- ages 7 and up. Each "tale" takes around fifteen minutes to read, and although ...
  
  











  



  
Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing: A Brief Guide to Argument
Sylvan Barnet, Hugo Bedau

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2007

Excellent Book
Great book that gives very good advice for thinking critically while reading and writing. A big portion of the book is reprints of articles used as examples, but these reprints are good to read as exercises.
  
  











  



  
Current Issues and Enduring Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking and Argument, with Readings
Sylvan Barnet, Hugo Bedau

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2007

Good intro text; watch out for edition number
Good intro to the principles of critical thinking. It was a little weird for me to have this book assigned in grad school; I remember it from my daughter's college freshman year. New editions keep the readings current, but that means you have to pay attention to the ...
  
  











  



  
Four Great Tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth (Signet Classics)
William Shakespeare

Signet Classics, 1998

An excellent collection with great footnotes
Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth are Shakespeare's greatest works. These fantastic stories, coupled with strong footnotes, make for superb reading material. I would recommend this book to beginning and master Shakespeare readers.

Longman, 2001

Great Contemporary Anthology, Teaching Tool
As a university theatre professor, I find this one of the most comprehensive, useful drama anthologies out there. A wonderful introduction to a wide range of plays, with pertinent "windows" into production aspects of the plays, so students can understand them not only ...

Coriolanus (Signet Classics)
William Shakespeare

Signet Classics, 2002

Shakespeare's Last Tragedy: An Overlooked Gem!!!
+++++ This play, written circa 1608, is the last of William Shakespeare's (1564 to 1616) eleven (some say ten) known tragedies. Even though it is known as a "Roman" or "political" play, serious readers will discover that it so much more. I found that it stayed ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete Signet Classic Shakespeare
William Shakespeare

Harcourt, 1972

So You Want to Read Shakespeare? This Book is the One
When you go to a bookstore to buy a good one volume edition of Shakespeare's works, you will certainly find a wide range of choices. Most people who buy one edition do so because it is that edition only that their literature professor demands. However, before you buy ...
