Shakespeare's Life and Times introduces you to the world Shakespeare lived and worked in. This section of the Internet Shakespeare Editions is like a shelf of books, each of which is listed in the navigational bar beneath the page header. Each book, in turn, is divided into chapters dealing with related topics. *There is a detailed biography of his life (and we actually know quite a lot about him). *There is a book about the stage Shakespeare wrote for. *And one that explores the society of the time, showing how it differs from our own. *Further books discuss the history and politics of Elizabethan England, *And look at the way people of the time thought and argued about religion and the physical makeup of the universe. *You can learn about the kinds of plays and literature Shakespeare read, *See samples of paintings of the time, and listen to Renaissance music. *There is a book that shows how different parts of this rich library of resources help you understand the plays, *And there is an extensive reference volume that gives chronologies, maps, and bibliographies for further reading.

Our program brings together enthusiastic young learners and distinguished college faculty to read and discuss Great Books and Big Ideas. Your student will discuss the likes of Plato, Jefferson, Tolstoy, Borges and Vonnegut with other young people who love literature just as much as they do! Join discussions on Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or Henry Ward Beecher led by Pulitzer Prize-winning authors Doris Kearns Goodwin, Joseph Ellis, Debby Applegate or one of our other Guest Speakers. This summer Great Books welcomes authors Richard Reeves to Stanford University and Dennis Lehane to Amherst College. Great Books helps students find their voices in the classroom and gives them the opportunity to grow academically and socially as they prepare for high school and college. Open discussions encourage students to express themselves and give power to their ideas. Have your high school student go beyond Great Books and explore Great Films! We take our unique style of learning through discussion and apply it to the medium of film. Students learn to apply critical thinking to a visual medium and develop their listening skills through discussion. Experience a week or two away from home and spend it at a top liberal arts college - students can choose from two campus settings: Amherst College in Massachusetts and Stanford University in California. This is the perfect opportunity to preview life on a college campus! Flexible 1, 2, or 3-week programs fit nicely into any summer schedule. Students may come solo, with a friend, or better yet, with a group of classmates. Round out a summer of leisure and sports with some engaging, thought-provoking fun! Great Books has welcomed students from 43 states as well as Hong Kong, Singapore, Jordan, Korea, China, Switzerland, England, Canada, France, Mexico, Denmark, Croatia, Italy and more. This is the perfect opportunity for international students to come to the U.S. for summer learning and
