I believe The Teaching Company also sells a series of DVD lectures on "The Republic" by David Roochnik, although The Teaching Company's products are really expensive if you don't wait for them to go on sale. The Copleston and Stanford Encyclopedia discussions are much shorter.) Your professor can probably recommend some other papers or books. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (online) is another great resource, and it offers 6 suggestions for "general discussions" of the text, none of which I have read, so I'm no help there. The Copleston "History of Philosophy" series is first-rate and does include a discussion of the text - as well as having a number of other discussions throughout the series of work that is at least partly in response to Plato. If you really find the book that boring, though - and it's too bad, because it's a really great book - maybe you would benefit from reading other commentaries as well. (I am also not familiar with the Sparknotes for that text.) If you're spending more than a day or two on "The Republic," though, I suspect that it won't. Without knowing more about your syllabus, I doni't know whether using Sparknotes alone will be enough.

She highlights the role of unexpected players, such as Catherine the Great of Russia, who was experimenting with constitutional techniques with her enlightened Nakaz decades before the Founding Fathers framed the American constitution. She brings to the fore neglected sites, such as Corsica, with its pioneering constitution of 1755, and tiny Pitcairn Island in the Pacific, the first place on the globe permanently to enfranchise women. In the process, Linda Colley both reappraises famous constitutions and recovers those that have been marginalized but were central to the rise of a modern world. A work of extraordinary range and striking originality, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen traces the global history of written constitutions from the 1750s to the twentieth century, modifying accepted narratives and uncovering the close connections between the making of constitutions and the making of war.
