Greatest Shakespeare speeches?
I love all the history plays particularly Henry V which is full of great speeches, not just St. Crispins day speech, what about the chorus at the start. My other great favourite is Henry IV pt. Brilliant stuff Sylvia keep it up.

Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Great albeit limited selection of speeches.
Perfect for an enjoyable listen when you can't spend the time to enjoy entire plays. Short introductions set the scene. It definitely benefits the listener to be somewhat familiar with the plays. The speeches from plays I knew better Macbeth, Hamlet, Henry V were much more enjoyable than those from lesser-known to me plays. Performances range in quality, as you would expect, but there's something for you here, however you like your Shakespeare.

Appreciated some lesser-known selections like the one from Kinsmen, along with very familiar ones. I would happily recite the whole book: Jul 30, Allie rated it really liked it.
A good book; however, it would've been nice to have a wider range of soliloquies! Still, this book was a fun and short read!
