| Why it’s on the list | The 39 plays and 154 sonnets in one volume — read, on Savodnik’s list, as political philosophy rather than literature: the plays as a study of power, legitimacy and character. |
The Complete Works of Shakespeare
Where I heard about it
- Peter Savodnik (@petersavodnik) — his April 2026 post on X: “Read everything you can find by Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau. To start.”
- Dissident Teacher — on A Library to Build Great Americans, the Substack writer’s 468-title Educated and Free curriculum (December 2025), listed as “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” under Drama at Lexile 1350 in the Ages 13–99+ band — a second, independent arrival at the complete-works volume rather than at individual plays.
Connections
- William Shakespeare — from the same canon list.
- A Library to Build Great Americans — the second list to recommend the complete works; it also cards The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde the same way.
- The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde — the other complete-works volume in that list’s Drama grouping.
