More material than what? You mean, than Shakespeare? If you learn mathematics, you start at the beginning and learn in stages. It's the same with English, the use of the English language through representations in language, such as plays, (from the Greek, through to the modern age, including Shakespeare), poetry, novels, short stories, film, etc. But to miss out on Shakespeare is to miss out on a vital building block.
