GRE Audio Books

The Faerie Queen is a big one on the GRE, but it’s pretty easy to recognize if you know your Spensarian stanza.  You should also take some time learning the characters and their allegorical significances.   I hate to even suggest it, but Spark Notes is good for this.   I know you’re going for a Ph.D.  and all, but just remember: the GRE is not about how well you know things, its about how much you know.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find many great audiobooks for The Faerie Queen, but here are three of the cantos just to give you a sense of it.  In the meantime, you can download the free e-book of at Project Gutenberg.
