Julius Caesar (2010 edition): Oxford School Shakespeare (Oxford School Shakespeare Series) Review: Excellent balance between original text and notes - These editions are my favorite ones to use with middle and high school students. They are slim; the page layout is attractive, with lots of white space and good illustrations; and the glossed words are well-chosen, the glosses well-done. In addition, the book provides useful background notes and act / scene summaries. In the past I have tried the following editions: Folger Library. Popular in schools, and easily the runner-up for an edition. My only objection is that the contemporary images (for instance, the title page of a 16th-century fencing manual) don't draw the readers into the text. Also, the textual apparatus is distracting; high school students don't need to know which old edition the editor has drawn on for a particular line. Cambridge School Shakespeare. A very good resource for a classroom teacher looking for activities that will draw the students into the text. However, sometimes the text gets lost in the activities. The book is also a bit heavy. You can get one copy for yourself and choose the activities / study questions to use. SparkNotes No Fear Shakespeare. I used this with a couple of private students when I was being overly-cautious about their ability to understand the bard. Since then, I've simply raised my expectations. Now, I require students to paraphrase as much of the play as possible; I find they can read the text with little difficulty by Act 5. (Also, I've realized that some plays are just too difficult. I love 1 Henry IV, but the bar scenes are too hard for average school-age readers.) Penguin Classics. Used these when TAing for a college course. They seemed good for high-achieving college kids. No pictures or teaching suggestions. Another excellent resource is Practical Approaches to Teaching Shakespeare, by Peter Reynolds. I got a lot of great feedback from students when using the exercises for Macbeth. Review: Great edition. - Wonderful edition with great annotations and plenty of room in the margin for note taking. O used this to teach the play and absolutely loved this edition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #210,387 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #174 in British & Irish Dramas & Plays #229 in Shakespeare Dramas & Plays #5,060 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (222) | | Dimensions | 8.4 x 6.6 x 0.3 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 8 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 0198328680 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0198328681 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | April 12, 2010 | | Publisher | Oxford University Press | | Reading age | 13 - 17 years | ## Images ![Julius Caesar (2010 edition): Oxford School Shakespeare (Oxford School Shakespeare Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LYsmhvEoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent balance between original text and notes *by I***H on May 12, 2014* These editions are my favorite ones to use with middle and high school students.

O used this to teach the play and absolutely loved this edition ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good version of a classic *by J***O on November 20, 2021* I bought this version of Julius Caesar to teach my 12th graders (seniors) because I liked the descriptions, notes, and definitions on the side of each page. I thought they were a good resource to explain Shakespearean language that modern kids wouldn't recognize. There are just enough to be helpful, but not too many to be overwhelming. There are some pen & ink illustrations and a few pictures of various stage productions of this play. ## Frequently Bought Together - Julius Caesar (2010 edition): Oxford School Shakespeare (Oxford School Shakespeare Series) - Animal Farm: 75th Anniversary Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/10449409-julius-caesar-2010-edition-oxford-school-shakespeare-oxford-school-shakespeare](https://www.desertcart.us/products/10449409-julius-caesar-2010-edition-oxford-school-shakespeare-oxford-school-shakespeare) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
