REVIEWS

"As you'd rightfully expect, this disc holds the complete works of William Shakespeare. All the plays from All's Well That Ends Well to The Winter's Tale are here, as are the Bard's 154 sonnets. And, as promised, you can either read them on the screen, print part or whole pieces, and search for key words or dates in the texts. For any student of English literature, it seems like an absolute essential.

And when you consider that a single school or university-recommended Shakespeare book can cost more than this entire collection, the CD does appear exceptional value for money. The problem is that, unlike those recommended texts, The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare CD provides no explanatory detail. There are no descriptions of archaic words, or notes on their pronunciation or by-gone usage. Neither will you find any notes about the historical context, such as the Elizabethan political climate or the religious backdrop to Shakespeare's plays, or any discussion of cultural nuances.

For experienced Shakespearean scholars, this is no great shakes. For new or unfamiliar readers, though, these details are essential in bringing the Bard's work to life.

The program's ability to search through the complete works is, however, good fun. It makes it easy to look for those half-remembered lines and quotes. Within seconds you can refresh your memory of the deliciously offensive line "whoreson, beetle-headed, flap-ear'd knave". "

Review from PC Pro


"Consumers gave Complete Works Of William Shakespeare an average rating of 3/5" at Review Index.co.uk mainly commenting on how much you get for how little, yet that it lacks many features beyond search, copy/edit and print.
