Rufus J Fears is that crazy teacher. Everything he says makes you a little wary. He's willing to embellish the truth to make a point. BUT I have learned so much, felt so much, been so inspired by him. ( )

This is an unusual TC lecture series. It is actually extremely light on analysis. Each lecture is a summary of a great book, as described, and often acted out, by Prof. Fears. The lecturer has many popularity awards from students. He's enthusiatic, dramatic, and, well, he's a total ham. Cicero, Erasmus, Orwell, Shakespeare, Milton, T. E. Lawrence, Euripides - each of the dozens of lectures was pure entertainment. ( )
