I do not understand why this is the case, it's like academics, some at least, do not want you to directly encounter an artist by what they produced on their own terms.Some soaring verse here, as they're in blank verse. Don Carlos is a bit too long, I think, though it is fantastic. Mary Stuart, on the other hand, was
