Soliloquy! the Women: The Shakespeare Monologues

Excellent and thorough. Just what I needed to find Shakespeare monologues to use for my acting class.

This compact little book, and its companion volume (same editors) of Shakespeare monologues for women, are wonderful resources for anyone who likes to memorize poetry. Learning verse, rather than just reading verse, is tremendously rewarding: think of it like stocking a pond with fish so you've got food for thought for the rest of your life.The book is thin, covers all the "best bits" of Shakespeare for memorization, and has all the explanatory & interpretive notes you need to understand them. Highly, highly recommended.

Here is an excellent resource for finding Shakespearean monolouges. Earley and Keil have made superb selections and provided the actor with helpful annotation, glossaries and summaries. Of course reading and performing these pieces effectively ultimately requires the actor to read the entire work in order to build a proper context, this volume proves most helpful.

This book is very helpful in the memorization of the Monologues. It has full footnotes and even guidelines on how to act out the lines. If it weren't for this book I highly doubt I would have gotten as many Shakespearean parts as I have.
