- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have been reading and teaching Shakespeare for two decades, and have read every one of his plays multiple times. But I still found myself learning more as I listened to these delightful lectures. This was the first Modern Scholars lecture series I had listened to, but it certainly won't be the last!
