What is the best translation of The Merchant of Venice?

Question

Accepted Answer

For most readers, the Folger Shakespeare Library translation (1992) of The Merchant of Venice is the best place to start: For almost everyone, the Folger is the right Merchant of Venice — facing-page glosses and synopses, and a good edition matters here because the play's treatment of Shylock needs the context the notes supply. Cheap, and the classroom standard. This is where I'd start. For most scholarly, consider Arden (3rd series) (2010). For best one-volume scholarly, consider Oxford Shakespeare (1994). For for beginners, consider No Fear Shakespeare (2003). For free, consider Free (public domain) (1600).
