Like all the volumes of this series so far, this one took me quite a while to read. And sometimes I felt like I was getting information overload from all the details about these Elizabethan (and to a lesser extent, Jacobean and Caroline) dramatists. It awakened my curiosity about those who were contemporaries or successors of Shakespeare. Some of their names I had heard in passing, and some were new. But I felt as if I now had a more panoramic view of English literature, which is the main reason I persevere with this series.
