I have listened to most of the Paul Cantor lecture series and have been very impressed. I wish I could have afforded the air fare from Sydney to attend it. In the Shakespeare lecture I heard him refer to Joseph Sobran's claim that Shakespeare was really the aristocrat Edward De Veere. Sobran's Shakespeare lecture is also on Mises.org. Sobran delivers the notable line "He's here, he's queer, he's Edward De Veere." Sobran's lecture is good at discussing the anti-war aspects of Henry V. Usually the play is portrayed as a bit Anglo jingoistic. There is a PDF file <a HREF="http://www.ethicsineducation.com/HenryV.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</A> that uses Henry V to illustrate the just war principles. There is a discussion <a HREF="http://www.poppolitics.com/articles/2003-05-01-henryv.shtml" rel="nofollow">here</A> of the various political uses, neocon types especially, have made of Henry V in recent years. I enjoyed Cantor's discussion of serials, FOX TV and alike. It would be great to hear what he thinks about the new world of audio and video podcasting. Thanks for asking Prof Cantor that for me.
