- Access to your digital resource is provided via Cambridge GO.

"When it comes to suggestions for classroom activities, the Cambridge editions far excel their ...counterparts" "Immeasurably superior to the 'bilingual' editions with Shakespeare's words on one page and a 'translation' opposite." Ken Watson, English In Australia, Vol 42 No 1 (2007) pg 72
