The History Of British Literature Videos

Description:

A selection of 24 of our online History of British Literature videos provides middle-school and homeschool students with the opportunity to learn about and study the development of British writing through the progression of the English language, from Old English to Middle English, to the Modern English used in Shakespeare's time, to the language of the Romantic Era and the 20th Century.

Learn about the life, times and literary work of the world's greatest playwright, William Shakespeare. Our online videos also contain informative discussions of his contributions to literature, and feature a selection of Shakespearean sonnets and authentic Elizabethan songs. You can also study the lives and the literary works of Geoffrey Chaucer, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, and Thomas Hardy, and celebrate the literary works of these four great British writers. You'll gain an understanding of their major works, and you'll examine their impact on those writers who succeeded them.

Then use our online interactive quizzes to discover what you have learnt and strengthen your understanding of the subject.

• Before Zane launched this online video service, our school and homeschool customers paid approximately $14.99 for each of our 250 CD-ROM titles which meant a total cost of $3,750 for the entire library. Our new online video subscription service now enables our customers to use exactly the same K12 material online on those 250 CD-ROM titles but now in video format, for as little as $17.99 per month or $197.89 per year (yes, you even get one month free with our annual service). This means a discount and saving of over 93%.

• The TOPIC TASTER MEMBERSHIP is designed to enable customers to study one Topic at a time for a period of 30 days, however it is likely to be of most use to teachers that want to use our videos in the classroom in situations where the school has not yet purchased a School Subscription License. TOPIC TASTER Membership costs barely anything, $5 a month, even a student could afford this themselves on an allowance or from their paper round, and that's exactly the point, this option is made available primarily as a service to help students with homework on a specific topic and to give teachers or parents the ability to test out our services, take a taster of our videos for review, before commiting to a Full Membership.

• Zane retains the right to vary membership prices as an when required without providing notification to customers.
