Can't get to Dartmouth to study Shakespeare?

For almost 400 years, his work has been the standard against which all writers have been judged, his stature as the most important literary figure in history unlikely to ever be challenged.

Yet the great majority of us have until now been denied the myriadpleasures Shakespeare offers betrayed by well-meaning teacherswho so pried apart his every line andsentence that they often managed tohide the dramatic tension, excitement,and humor that made his work soremarkable!

The result? We never had the chance we deserved to experience Shakespeare's words as he meant them to be experienced! And we missed out on a literary encounter that should have been very, very special.

But now you can learn to enjoy and understand Shakespeare—through a brilliantly entertaining course on Shakespeare: The Word and the Action. Taught on audio- or videotape in sixteen wonderful lectures by one of the nation's most honored and popular Shakespeare teachers—Professor Peter Saccio of Dartmouth College!
