Editorial Reviews

In pedagogy, Fiona Banks's Creative Shakespeare: The Globe Education Guide to Practical Shakespeare is a rich resource of educational tactics for students of all ages, although elementary and secondary teachers will find it most useful.” —Roland Greene, Stanford University, Recent Studies in Tudor and Stuart Drama

“Fiona Banks, a leading member of Globe Education for many years, approaches the teaching of Shakespeare seriously. There is no patronizing, no spoonfeeding, but respect for students and their intellect … Banks expresses the purpose of the book quite clearly, and anyone who has ever been engaged in this sort of work will emphatically agree.” – Arthur Kincaid, The Shakespeare Newsletter
