Show notes

Dear Lovers of Great Literature —

Thank you so much for listening to the show. If you would like more Shakespeare discussions, we have a library of lectures, guided readings, and bookish content at the Hardcore Literature Book Club at Patreon.com/HardcoreLiterature

We are currently reading through the complete works of Shakespeare over the course of the year, and the discussion is incredibly rich and exciting.

In our back catalogue, we also have a deep dive lecture series into twelve specially curated masterpieces from William Shakespeare. This includes banquets of blood like Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, and sparkling comedies like A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, and Much Ado About Nothing.

In addition to Shakespeare, we have extensive lectures for writers like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Cervantes, Jane Austen, Cormac McCarthy, Emily Brontë, Charles Dickens, and many more.

Across the course of 2023, we are journeying through War and Peace, The Brothers Karamazov, Orlando, The Count of Monte Cristo, Invisible Man, The Lord of the Rings, the short stories of Alice Munro, Jane Eyre, Paradise Lost, Gravity's Rainbow, and much more.

You will be warmly welcomed to our little literary oasis!

Happy reading, and have a lovely day.
