Oxford School Shakespeare is an acclaimed edition especially designed for students, with accessible notes and explanatory illustrations, clear background information, and rigorous but accessible scholarly credentials. First published in 1890 in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine and the following year in novel form, The Picture of Dorian Gray categorically changed Victorian Britain and the landscape of literature. An ostentatious, self-confessed aesthete, known for his wit and intellect, Wilde not only had to endure his prose being labeled "poisonous" and "vulgar," but also suffer its use as evidence in the ensuing trial, resulting in his eventual imprisonment for crimes of "gross indecency." Frankel's introduction provides a deft preliminary analysis of the novel itself—exploring etymology and extensive editorial alterations (both accidental and deliberate)—and offers valuable insight into the socio-cultural juxtaposition of aristocratic Victorian society and the London underworld. Intriguing annotations allude to Wilde's influences and enterprising range of reference, incorporating art, poetry, literature, Greek mythology, philosophy, and fashion (certain to inspire further reading; an appendix is provided).

"The real prose appears on the left side, and the ... for lack of a better word ... "translation" appear on the right (facing) pages. Nobody's stopping you from reading the real prose on the left pages and ignoring the modernized version."
"Remarkable how classic and enduring this tale is."
"Well, it's written in the form of a play, so not exactly "First Person," but this is a great edition of one of my favorite Shakespeare plays!"
"I purchased this book for an English course and I enjoyed it."
"Easy-to-read large print version of Hamlet."
"The play itself, of course, is a tragic story of a Danish prince's quest for justice following the death of his father."
"I'm giving 4 stars for this edition because the line spacing in this Kindle version is weird."
