Accessible classic literature
Featuring the original text and a line-by-line modern translation on facing pages, each text brings classic works to life.
Ensure comprehension while helping students appreciate the original language of Shakespeare and early British and American authors. Introductory material offers historical and cultural context while critical thinking questions and text-based activities throughout encourage discussion and analysis.
“[Parallel Text] worked beautifully. I was able to get students to read it and they weren’t struggling. They really got into the story and weren’t bogged down by the language. [The text] was very faithful to the original and only translated when necessary. They could see the differences were actually very small. Students were able to appreciate the story and it was easy to teach.”
