Literary Criticism. Nonfiction. HTML:

Shakespeare's plays - whether a comedy like A Midsummer Night's Dream , a history like Henry IV , or a tragedy like Hamlet - are treasure troves of insight into our very humanity. These 36 lectures introduce you to Shakespeare's major plays from each of these three genres and explain the achievement that makes him the leading playwright in Western civilization. As you'll see, the key to Shakespeare's massive achievement is his "abundance," according to Professor Saccio; not only in the number and length of his plays but in the variety of experiences they depict, the multitude of actions and characters they contain, the combination of public and private life they deal with, and the richness of feelings they express. All the major plays are here for you to dive into, explore, and enjoy: The Taming of the Shrew (with its realistic look at bourgeois marriage customs), Measure for Measure (which shows Shakespeare breaking out of comic conventions), Richard III (the source of one of the Bard's most entertaining and frightening historical villains), Henry V (which raises questions about the morality of warfare), Macbeth (with its piercing look into the consciousness of a man hungry for power), and more. As the richness of each of these and other plays is revealed, you'll also touch upon the far-ranging philosophical and theological implications behind them. By the last lecture, you'll have a true understanding of why these comedies, histories, and tragedies endure even to this very day.

NOT A REVIEW OF THE BOOKS OR DVDs :
A noticeable problem with Library Thing when it comes to entering sets of books and DVDs is that some of us made purchases of only a portion of a set, at say - a used bookstore. The price was right because the set was NOT complete when we found it. LT has made it so that adding the set via the ISBNs titles, and such defines it as the entire set. This means we have to tweak it a bit, which is not a problem but, may don't take the time to create additional entries within the same set of books or DVDs. Other account holders, like myself enjoy seeing the number of volumes of books in their library collection ascend. For me when I get a three book set, I add them as individual volumes. This series alone I have 3 DVDs and 3 books and a course guide book. The DVDs and Course Guidebook came together but, they are different forms of media. Again, "to me," THAT makes them really different - especially when it comes to where they are sorted within my home library. So, I add them as 4 separate entities. I take time to notate in the cataloging Part 1 of 3, Part 2 of 3 and Part 3 of 3, with respect given to those who's future may only attain a portion of the set. The three course study guide books again are entered as such and properly numbered on the book title line. I am also adding photographs of each to define this all the better. I feel this course just doesn't seem to get it's proper justice, as the photos of the course's books and DVDs, at least the 1999 first edition, have not been rightfully added. I will attempt to remedy this within my account. Last note: If I am to believe the entries that show the Shakespeare Great Courses book set as ONE book. then the pagination should properly reflect the book as having the following:
vi (Roman numeral 6) pages of front matter. (not ii, ii, and ii)
566 pages to the body of the work (not 182, 198, and 186).
6 pages unmarked (not 2, 2, and 2).
Again, this is over three books respectfully described in the parenthesis above.
