    A Brief History of Pink Floyd

    I've always wondered how certain bands started. My favorite band is Pink Floyd. How did they meet? Where did they come up with Pink Floyd? Why "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn?"

  • Shakespear History

    Shakespear History

    The Course Shakespeare, some critics suggest, invented the history play. When he stopped writing it, people lost interest. Part of a much larger revision of historical thinking in the Renaissance, the history play asks its audiences, then and now, to reconsider history in terms of CAUSE, ANACHRONISM, and EVIDENCE.
