Shakespeare's "The Hollow Crown": Watch Now!

Last night, PBS played the first installment of their new Shakespeare Histories series, starting with Richard II.  If you missed it, you can watch the entire show on their website (it's about 2.5 hours long).  Though we're not reading any of this plays in this class, you might be interested in watching Richard II, which shares many of the same themes as The Sonnets, as do the subsequent history plays.  Click on the link below to watch--but don't forget to read The Sonnets (assignment below).
