In compiling Acts I, II, and III of this paraphrase, I relied heavily on two sources: the teachers' editions of the Prentice Hall Literature Platinum Edition (Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1989) and the Literature and Language Blue Level (Robert S. Boone, McDougal, Littell & Company, Dallas, 1992). For Acts IV and V, I relied on one source: The Riverside Shakespeare (Houghton Mifflin, Boston, Massachusetts, 1974).
