These dramatic texts have been recorded under the direction of their original authors; be sure to have watched the recordings OR read the texts. You will be given the session of 28 April as "reading week" to make sure you are acquainted with these two works (or any other of our texts you would like to get started on). All other texts: As the challenge here is extensive reading, the format you choose to read the texts in is immaterial. You will find all the texts online in their entirety. You will also find many of them in various anthologies. With the Shakespearean texts in particular, I would recommend the use of an annotated edition, but this, too can be found online (for instance here: http://www.shakespeare-online.com/plays/ ).
