Most of these materials were acquired from a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer program I attended in the summer of 1990 at Southern Oregon State College, and associated with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Some of these I use; others I have never used, so I don't guarantee the quality or effectiveness of anything here...though most of it is terrific!!”  (Jeff Flygare, creator of this web site)

My e-mail, however, suggests that others have been using  these pages for a wide variety of purposes and at a wide range of levels--graduate students preparing to teach the Bard for the first time, home-school groups looking for more information, and elementary school
students and teachers looking for quick summaries of major issues in the plays, to name a few. So feel free to browse around this site, whatever your level, and see what you can use. I include links here to syllabuses and schedules that I have actually used in classes at Washington State University; I also include study questions for the individual plays. I have not yet made up questions for every play, so if you see no questions for the
play you want to study, email me. I also have study questions for a limited  number of Renaissance plays NOT authored by Shakespeare. Again, if you would like to see study questions for other plays of the English Renaissance, please email your requests to me. Finally, I include links to other pages of related interest by other Webmasters. Some of these are about issues which are argued in the world of Shakespearean studies, some of these are about theatrical developments, and some of these are just plain fun. If you have any corrections, comments, or updates, please email me directly.”

Instead of providing extensive information on all of his works, we focus on a few works that high school students most likely will study. Our website provides a place where students can 'chill with Will' and learn to love Shakespeare because we believe that if a person has the desire to learn something, he/she can do it."

UPDIKE, JOHN  (THE CENTAURIAN)
http://www.users.fast.net/~joyerkes/ - “This Web Page is designed to provide information and promote discussion about writer John Updike's life and work. As employed in his third novel, published in 1963, the Greek mythological figure of the Centaur--half human and half horse--represents the ambiguity of human existence. It symbolizes both the soaring energies of spiritual transcendence which provoke anxiety and hope, and the captive energies of physical embodiment which generate suffering and pleasure. In all his writings he has never failed to address the agonies and ecstasies these tangled energies generate in human life. The Centaurian seems therefore an especially appropriate title for this page. It captures the focus of Updike's work in every genre. And, happily, he continues to write.”
