What makes each Ignatius Critical Editions title a resource for teachers? Besides the above, here are a few practical, everyday things that will make teaching a fuller and more manageable experience.
Answer Keys
Each ICE Study Guide comes with an answer key, so you don't have to memorize every line of Shakespeare to make sure your students did the reading.
Excellent, Updated Annotation
The problem with an edition from fifty years ago is that sometimes their explanatory notes mystify their readers more than the book does! Deciding what's apparent today, in language and ideology, and what's obscure enough for a footnote is primarily an editor's job. You shouldn't have to do it again!
Ignatius Critical Editions include sober, understandable annotation so that you can get reliable explanations — not wild and questionable theories — that are actually clear — written in straightforward, modern prose.

Why Traditional Criticism?
Tradition is the extension of Democracy through time; it is the proxy of the dead and the enfranchisement of the unborn.
Tradition may be defined as the extension of the franchise. Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.
G. K. Chesterton
