"Professor Saccio goes well beyond merely introducing the plays of Shakespeare in 36 lectures. "First, he locates them in the context of their time and world, suggesting not only what their author might be doing in them but also why. Second, he gives us a solid grasp of each of the major plays in the three genres with a careful look at the critical issues surrounding each. Finally, he shares with us his intimate feel for the characters, their motivations, and the deep-seated passions which drive the play. "Sparkling with excitement, writer and award-winning teacher Peter Saccio converts his vast scholarship to breathing life. Though passion and love of the study never replace careful planning and organization, they permeate each lecture from start to finish, offering the listener an exciting challenge." ?AudioFile? magazine "I have taught and loved Shakespeare for over 30 years and was captivated and stunned by Peter Saccio's eloquence and knowledge of the material." ?Rayna Goldfarb, Philadelphia, PA Shakespeare: Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies introduces the plays of Shakespeare and explains the achievement that makes Shakespeare the leading playwright in Western civilization. The key to that achievement is his "abundance," says Professor Saccio?not only in the number and length of his plays, but also 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, the richness of feelings they express and can provoke in an audience and in readers, and the fullness of language and suggestion.
