About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Shakespeare Monologues, Volume 3, in the public domain. The LibriVox catalog page for this work lists the LibriVox readers. LibriVox readers present the third collection of monologues from Shakespeare’s plays. Containing 20 parts. William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 – April 23, 1616) remains widely considered the single greatest playwright of all time. He wrote in such a variety of genres - tragedy, comedy, romance, &c - that there is always at least one monologue in each of his plays. Some of these teach a lesson, some simply characterize Shakespeare at his best, some are funny, some sad, but all are very moving. Each monologue will touch everybody differently. Some people will be so moved by a particular monologue that they will want to record it. (Summary by Shurtagal). For more information on LibriVox, or to volunteer, please see: http://librivox.org/
