a Question of Utmost Importance
So I just checked my mailbox in the department office and noticed that the nice people at Barnes & Noble had sent me, on account of my being a Shakespeare teacher, a coupon for a free copy of one of the new Barnes & Noble Shakespeare editions that are now out (they seem reasonably scholarlyish and are edited by Significant Shakespeare Critics). There are, thus far, ten volumes available, and I cannot decide which one I want. So I am soliciting suggestions from LJ.
Poll Barnes & Noble Shakespeare Poll!
Relevant information:
1. I have numerous copies of all of these plays already (especially Othello, which was a particular favorite of Dr. M, and I have a lot of copies that used to be his).
2. The offer is only good in stores, not from the B&N website, so the whole thing is influenced to some degree by what's available at the crappy B&N near my apartment.
ETA: Also, the editors of the editions, since ladyshrew pointed out that this might be helpful info:
Hamlet -- Jeff Dolven; Macbeth -- Jesse M. Lander; Othello -- Daniel Vitkus; Romeo and Juliet -- Mario DiGangi; The Tempest -- Gordon MacMullan; Twelfth Night -- Claire McEachern; Julius Caesar -- Andrew Hadfield; King Lear -- Andrew Hadfield; A Midsummer Night's Dream -- Mario DiGangi; Much Ado About Nothing -- Robert S. Miola.
