- Four hundred years ago, Williams Shakespeare entertained, shocked, amused, and informed London audiences in a round wooden theater on the south bank of the Thames. Today, his plays are among the most read, performed, and adapted around the globe, in numerous languages, on stage, page, and screen. Why do so many people still seek out Shakespeare's writing? How do his works continue to influence literature and culture? Through intensive study of representative plays and poems, you will become familiar with Shakespeare's dramatic and literary techniques.

- Class Description:
- William Shakespeare is still one of the most widely read authors in the English language, and one of the most frequently performed playwrights; additionally, his works have been translated into nearly every language around the globe. Whether or not we are comfortable with his place atop the canon of English literature, we cannot ignore the scope and depth of his influence on Western art and culture. At a time when Europe was undergoing massive, fundamental changes, from the level of the nation down to the level of individual experience, Shakespeare wrote more prolifically and more widely than almost any of his peers. Simply put, no other single author can tell us so much about life in Early Modern England. Nor is his vision limited to that time and place; if his worldwide appeal is in part owing to England's imperial dominance of the last few centuries, it is also (it has been argued) because his plays and poems 'seem' to express 'truths' about the human condition that rise above nation and period. Texts: to be determined.

- Class Description:
- William Shakespeare is still one of the most widely read authors in the English language, and one of the most frequently performed playwrights; additionally, his works have been translated into nearly every language around the globe. Whether or not we are comfortable with his place atop the canon of English literature, we cannot ignore the scope and depth of his influence on Western art and culture. At a time when Europe was undergoing massive, fundamental changes, from the level of the nation down to the level of individual experience, Shakespeare wrote more prolifically and more widely than almost any of his peers. Simply put, no other single author can tell us so much about life in Early Modern England. Nor is his vision limited to that time and place; if his worldwide appeal is in part owing to England's imperial dominance of the last few centuries, it is also (it has been argued) because his plays and poems 'seem' to express 'truths' about the human condition that rise above nation and period. Texts: to be determined.

- William Shakespeare is still one of the most widely read authors in the English language, and one of the most frequently performed playwrights; additionally, his works have been translated into nearly every language around the globe. Whether or not we are comfortable with his place atop the canon of English literature, we cannot ignore the scope and depth of his influence on Western art and culture. At a time when Europe was undergoing massive, fundamental changes, from the level of the nation down to the level of individual experience, Shakespeare wrote more prolifically and more widely than almost any of his peers. Simply put, no other single author can tell us so much about life in Early Modern England. Nor is his vision limited to that time and place; if his worldwide appeal is in part owing to England's imperial dominance of the last few centuries, it is also (it has been argued) because his plays and poems 'seem' to express 'truths' about the human condition that rise above nation and period.

Shakespeare is perhaps the most influential and complex writer in the English language, and has been both revered and reinterpreted by every generation since the Renaissance. This course explores some of the richness and variety of Shakespeare's art through intensive study of representative plays. We will examine such topics as Elizabethan playhouses and acting companies, Renaissance theatre and culture, gender and sexuality in Shakespeare's plays, and performance history. Through class lectures, discussions and written work, students will become familiar with the techniques used by Shakespeare to shape the responses of his audience to the theatrical experience, as well as the various interpretations of Shakespeare by later generations. - Textbooks:

- Class Description:
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the works of Shakespeare and, more generally, Shakespeare studies. The overarching approach that we will take in this course is the questioning of the truism regarding Shakespeare's greatness. Rather than accept Shakespeare's excellence uncritically, we will examine many of his works that are considered "great," asking ourselves why they are esteemed so highly and whether we agree from our modern perspective. The texts chosen for this course are intended to survey the variety of Shakespeare's works as well as Shakespeare's own authorial development over a period of two decades. They also reflect two standards of Shakespeare's excellence: those of Shakespeare's contemporaries and those of the present. Along the way, we'll also consider what sort of research has been done with Shakespeare's works and discuss the various approaches used in this research such as formalism, textual criticism, historical criticism, source criticism, cultural and gender studies, and adaptation studies. These approaches will inform your own writing throughout this semester.
Finally, since this course is a "Writing Intensive" course, we'll be reviewing university writing practices and considering how these practices work within the discipline of Literary Studies.- Textbooks:

Plays frequently covered include "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet," "The Merchant of Venice," and "The Tempest." Students learn to read the plays closely, focusing on the importance of the author's language and word choices. While the plays are covered primarily as written texts, they are also analyzed as scripts created for production, and attention is frequently paid to works in production and on film. Upon completing the course, students will have a solid knowledge of eight to ten plays; an appreciation for the impact that Shakespeare has had on much of the body of literature; and the tools to read and understand further of Shakespeare's works on their own.

- Shakespeare is deep in many ways, but he is also funny, as is the instructor, and as you are encouraged to be when you know what you are talking about. Unlike you, Shakespeare hadn't the benefit of Writing Intensive courses, but he did all right, as you will read for yourself. The language may seem remote on first acquaintance, but it comes readily into focus and color for most who are willing to make the effort and ready to be rewarded evermore with skills in reading and writing not easily attainable elsewhere. Hamlet is able to speculate perennially on whether "To be or not to be" and "Whether `tis nobler in the mind to suffer / The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, / Or to take arms against a sea of troubles / And by opposing end them" (3.1.58-61), because he is immortal, and because his creator was born an imaginative genius with a vocation to playwrighting in an age when a multicultural and hugely expressive Early Modern English was evolving. This language enabled the making of a literature and drama of extraordinary richness, philosophical and social complexity, depth of perception, psychological insight, and even global vision. Shakespeare is read and performed everywhere, and has been especially powerful in Russian and Japanese films, for example. His theatrical gift for creating dramatic actions extravagant, disturbing, hilarious, profound, and searching by turns, or several at once, was enabled by a verbal gift of extraordinary range and wit. This gift with the corresponding dialogue is the sine qua non, whether Hamlet, Ophelia, Polonius, an actor, or a gravedigger speaks. Seven representative plays, with attention to contemporary contexts and antecedents, continuing social relevance, and some recent productions, and with primary emphasis on understanding Shakespeare's writing in its habit as it lives. Knowing some plays by Shakespeare is also a necessary foundation for appreciating a new satirical play on stage in London in May 2014, Mike Bartlett's King Charles III, written in Shakespearean verse about the drastic turns in the present royal family as fictionally futurized by Bartlett. If you want to take this course with Tom Clayton, this is your last chance. If you don't, that's easy.

- Class Description:
- William Shakespeare is still one of the most widely read authors in the English language, and one of the most frequently performed playwrights; additionally, his works have been translated into nearly every language around the globe. Whether or not we are comfortable with his place atop the canon of English literature, we cannot ignore the scope and depth of his influence on Western art and culture. At a time when Europe was undergoing massive, fundamental changes, from the level of the nation down to the level of individual experience, Shakespeare wrote more prolifically and more widely than almost any of his peers. Simply put, no other single author can tell us so much about life in Early Modern England. Nor is his vision limited to that time and place; if his worldwide appeal is in part owing to England's imperial dominance of the last few centuries, it is also (it has been argued) because his plays and poems 'seem' to express 'truths' about the human condition that rise above nation and period. Texts: to be determined.

- Class Description:
- Shakespeare is one of the most influential and complex writers in the English language, and has been both revered and reinterpreted by every generation since the Renaissance. As Shakespeare's contemporary Ben Jonson remarked, "Shakespeare is not of an age but for all time." This course explores some of the richness and variety of Shakespeare's art through study of representative plays. We will examine such topics as Elizabethan playhouses and acting companies, Renaissance theatre and culture, gender and sexuality in Shakespeare's plays, and performance history. Through class lectures, discussions and written work, students will become familiar with the techniques used by Shakespeare to shape the responses of his audience to the theatrical experience, as well as the various interpretations of Shakespeare by later generations.
