Great Authors of the Western Literary Tradition is a great introduction to the vast ocean of authors in the West today. Some of the summaries were really fun, and some were really boring; a mixed bag from different professors. This took me 84 hours to get through, so you can imagine that there were some good days and bad and that they are all a little vague to me now.

A very extensive literature overview and probably the best bang for your buck in this genre that Great Courses provides. However, with multiple lecturers the quality is not consistent - and some eras have better lecturers and coverage offered in other of their courses.

84 lectures on Great Authors. A long slog, but I 'feel like I learned something today'. Great stuff.
