戴維?貝文頓（David Bevington）（著名莎士比亞專家、美國(guó)莎士比亞協(xié)會(huì)前任會(huì)長(zhǎng)）
阿登版莎士比亞（今版已經(jīng)是三次修訂）一如既往地是莎士比亞諸多版本中金科玉律式的版本，其編注者均系國(guó)際著名莎士比亞專家；其所收原著文本具有準(zhǔn)確性和權(quán)威性：其有關(guān)莎士比亞作品的評(píng)介頗為新穎，有令人茅塞頓開之效。（The Arden Shakespeate. now in its third series．continues to be the gold standard of Shakespeare editions. Its editors are Internationally known： the texts are authoritative：the commentary is illuminating and up to date.）
方平（著名莎士比亞專家、中國(guó)原莎士比亞學(xué)會(huì)會(huì)長(zhǎng)）
阿登版莎士比亞是國(guó)際聞名的莎士比亞版本，質(zhì)量可靠�，F(xiàn)在能夠引入中國(guó)出版界，這是一件值得慶賀的盛事。
陸谷孫（著名莎士比亞專家、復(fù)量大學(xué)著名教授）
功不盡善則易器。用過幾種莎劇版本，效果都差強(qiáng)人意。我從上世紀(jì)80年代起采用New Arden Shakespeare（新阿登版莎士比亞）作為研究生莎劇的精讀教本至今，雖非無疑不解、無曲不察，但由此即可掌握細(xì)讀莎劇的基本技能。
裘克安（著名莎士比亞專家、商務(wù)印書館莎士比亞注釋叢書主編）
阿登版莎士比亞歷經(jīng)了自1891年以來幾代英國(guó)學(xué)者的精心編輯和修訂。它以核定莎士比亞文本為主，一劇一冊(cè)，直到1998年才合成全集一大冊(cè)出版�，F(xiàn)在引進(jìn)這套權(quán)威性和實(shí)用性均高的阿登版莎士比亞，必對(duì)中國(guó)莎學(xué)有很大裨益。
辜正坤（著名莎士比亞專家、北京大學(xué)教授、中國(guó)原莎士比亞學(xué)會(huì)副會(huì)長(zhǎng)）
阿登版莎士比亞注釋宏富、評(píng)論精到，對(duì)莎士比亞文本考核嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、且相關(guān)附錄文獻(xiàn)亦甚豐富，大世界眾多的莎士比亞版本中頗具權(quán)威性。
