- From Taylor Swift to Greta Gerwig, from Toni Morrison to Nelson Mandela, Shakespeare's works have continued to influence and inspire authors, artists, and audiences around the globe. In this upper division course you will study representative works of Shakespeare from a variety of cultural perspectives, as texts that have had a long and enduring vitality well beyond their historical context. This course tracks the history of Shakespeare's plays across time, in various artistic forms including art, music, film, and social media, looking at the ways these literary works have responded to issues of gender, race, sexuality, religion, disability, and class.English majors/minors must take this course A-F only grading basis.
- Class Description:
- This course will consist of a close examination of 8-10 plays spanning William Shakespeare's career: comedies, histories, tragedies, and romances. Our goal will be to view these works simultaneously as cultural artifacts of sixteenth and seventeenth-century England and as enduring classics of world literature that seem to transcend their cultural moment. To this end, we will apply various biographical, social, linguistic, generic, theatrical, political, and intellectual contexts to the plays. We will attempt to understand how these documents from early modern England have spoken so profoundly about the enduring mysteries of human experience from the moment of their inceptive genesis to the present day.

- Class Description:
- This course is an in-depth examination of representative works by William Shakespeare. We will read Shakespeare's plays in connection with the culture of the English Renaissance, exploring the political, social, and intellectual backgrounds of England under Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. Contemporary critical approaches to Shakespeare will further enrich our study of his plays. We will focus on a number of issues related to current Shakespearian scholarship, including gender, sexuality, authority, violence, and politics. The performance conditions of Shakespeare's theatres will also concern us, as will the performance and reception history of the plays. The reconstructed Globe Theatre in London, recent studies of Renaissance acting companies and staging practices, and ongoing work on gender issues connected with boy actors will comprise topics of interest. The construction of Shakespeare as a cultural symbol, which began in the eighteenth century and continues today, will furnish additional material for discussion as we explore why these works have endured for over four hundred years.

- Class Description:
- 15 seats in this section are reserved for non-native English speakers.In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase "in a nutshell," because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare--so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in "spot the cliches" until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex.
- Grading:
- Your grade will be based on informal and formal writing, discussion, and a group presentation. The S/N cut off for this course will be B-.

- Class Description:
- This course will consist of a close examination of 8-10 plays spanning William Shakespeare's career: comedies, histories, tragedies, and romances. Our goal will be to view these works simultaneously as cultural artifacts of sixteenth and seventeenth-century England and as enduring classics of world literature that seem to transcend their cultural moment. To this end, we will apply various biographical, social, linguistic, generic, theatrical, political, and intellectual contexts to the plays. We will attempt to understand how these documents from early modern England have spoken so profoundly about the enduring mysteries of human experience from the moment of their inceptive genesis to the present day.

- Class Description:
- 15 seats in this section are reserved for non-native English speakers.In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase "in a nutshell," because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare--so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in "spot the cliches" until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex.

- Class Description:
- This class will examine Shakespeare's major plays as expressions of England's emergence as a major commercial and military power in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Special attention will be payed to questions of national sovereignty, England's place in wider European community, religious conflict, and Atlantic expansionism. The first section of the course focuses on three plays that raise questions about England's relationship to the other countries within the British archipelago, especially Scotland: Macbeth, 1 Henry IV, and King Lear. We'll then take up the larger question of England's place in a evolving European intellectual and political culture with attention to three Italian plays, The Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice, and Othello. After Othello takes us to the Ottoman lands of the eastern Mediterranean, we will conclude with The Tempest and its vision of the old Mediterranean order yielded to the new economies of the Atlantic. Supplementary readings will be available both in Italian and in English translation. There will be two hourly exams and an extensive editorial exercise.

English majors/minors must take this course A-F only grading basis.
- Class Description:
- This course will consist of a close examination of 8-10 plays spanning William Shakespeare's career: comedies, histories, tragedies, and romances. Our goal will be to view these works simultaneously as cultural artifacts of sixteenth and seventeenth-century England and as enduring classics of world literature that seem to transcend their cultural moment. To this end, we will apply various biographical, social, linguistic, generic, theatrical, political, and intellectual contexts to the plays. We will attempt to understand how these documents from early modern England have spoken so profoundly about the enduring mysteries of human experience from the moment of their inceptive genesis to the present day.

- Class Description:
- This course is an in-depth examination of representative works by William Shakespeare. We will read Shakespeare's plays in connection with the culture of the English Renaissance, exploring the political, social, and intellectual backgrounds of England under Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. Contemporary critical approaches to Shakespeare will further enrich our study of his plays. We will focus on a number of issues related to current Shakespearian scholarship, including gender, sexuality, authority, violence, and politics. The performance conditions of Shakespeare's theatres will also concern us, as will the performance and reception history of the plays. The reconstructed Globe Theatre in London, recent studies of Renaissance acting companies and staging practices, and ongoing work on gender issues connected with boy actors will comprise topics of interest. The construction of Shakespeare as a cultural symbol, which began in the eighteenth century and continues today, will furnish additional material for discussion as we explore why these works have endured for over four hundred years.

- Class Description:
- 15 seats in this section are reserved for non-native English speakers.In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase "in a nutshell," because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare--so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in "spot the cliches" until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex.

- Class Description:
- 15 seats in this section are reserved for non-native English speakers.In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase "in a nutshell," because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare--so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in "spot the cliches" until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex.
- Grading:
- Your grade will be based on informal and formal writing, discussion, and a group presentation. The S/N cut off for this course will be B-.

- Class Description:
- In this course, you'll learn how to read and comment upon seven or eight of Shakespeare's plays. We'll use our class meetings to discuss particular scenes and speeches chosen from the texts in Bevington's COMPLETE SHAKESPEARE, which everyone must bring to class. Video clips, along with brief explanatory lectures, will be used to guide you to the playwright's favorite themes. Fully two-thirds of your course grade will depend on your daily participation: taking quizzes based on study questions for each play, writing out memorized lines, and writing down your answers to impromptu questions relating to our discussions. The other third of your grade rests on two writing assignments, the first of which will be corrected and returned to you for revising. Even though this class is not officially "writing-intensive," everyone will be expected to write a term paper (1200-1500 words) in clear, idiomatic English, and its style can raise or lower its grade. If you dislike paying close attention to Shakespeare's text and memorizing occasional passages, you should avoid this course. If on the other hand you enjoy discussing and writing about Shakespeare's characters and quoting their language, this is the Shakespeare class for you.

- This course is a sampling of Shakespeare's corpus designed for English majors and minors and for other students who wish to study his works in depth. Our goal will be to view these works simultaneously as cultural artifacts of sixteenth and seventeenth-century England and as enduring classics of world literature that seem to transcend their cultural moment. To this end, we will apply various biographical, social, linguistic, generic, theatrical, political, and intellectual contexts to the plays. We will attempt to understand how these documents from early modern England have spoken so profoundly about the enduring mysteries of human experience from the moment of their inceptive genesis to the present day. English majors/minors must take this course A-F only grading basis.

- Class Description:
- In this course, you'll learn how to read and comment upon seven or eight of Shakespeare's plays. We'll use our class meetings to discuss particular scenes and speeches chosen from the texts in Bevington's COMPLETE SHAKESPEARE, which everyone must bring to class. Video clips, along with brief explanatory lectures, will be used to guide you to the playwright's favorite themes. Fully two-thirds of your course grade will depend on your daily participation: taking quizzes based on study questions for each play, writing out memorized lines, and writing down your answers to impromptu questions relating to our discussions. The other third of your grade rests on two writing assignments, the first of which will be corrected and returned to you for revising. Even though this class is not officially "writing-intensive," everyone will be expected to write a term paper (1200-1500 words) in clear, idiomatic English, and its style can raise or lower its grade. If you dislike paying close attention to Shakespeare's text and memorizing occasional passages, you should avoid this course. If on the other hand you enjoy discussing and writing about Shakespeare's characters and quoting their language, this is the Shakespeare class for you.

- Class Description:
- This class will examine Shakespeare's major plays as expressions of England's emergence as a major commercial and military power in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Special attention will be payed to questions of national sovereignty, England's place in wider European community, religious conflict, and Atlantic expansionism. The first section of the course focuses on three plays that raise questions about England's relationship to the other countries within the British archipelago, especially Scotland: Macbeth, 1 Henry IV, and King Lear. We'll then take up the larger question of England's place in a evolving European intellectual and political culture with attention to three Italian plays, The Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice, and Othello. After Othello takes us to the Ottoman lands of the eastern Mediterranean, we will conclude with The Tempest and its vision of the old Mediterranean order yielded to the new economies of the Atlantic. Supplementary readings will be available both in Italian and in English translation. There will be two hourly exams and an extensive editorial exercise.

- Class Description:
- In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase "in a nutshell," because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare--so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in "spot the cliches" until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex.

- Class Description:
- This course will consist of a close examination of 8-10 plays spanning William Shakespeare's career: comedies, histories, tragedies, and romances. Our goal will be to view these works simultaneously as cultural artifacts of sixteenth and seventeenth-century England and as enduring classics of world literature that seem to transcend their cultural moment. To this end, we will apply various biographical, social, linguistic, generic, theatrical, political, and intellectual contexts to the plays. We will attempt to understand how these documents from early modern England have spoken so profoundly about the enduring mysteries of human experience from the moment of their inceptive genesis to the present day.

- Class Description:
- In this class we will explore the enduring resonance of Shakespeare's art by undertaking a close, critical, and chronological examination of his plays. In the face of ever-enlarging linguistic, historical, and ideological barriers to understanding, contemporary audiences and readers of Shakespeare continue to find great literary value and emotional weight in his innovative uses of language and his subtle construction of character and story. The fact that his dramatic poetry still excites audiences four hundred years after his death is a testament to his proclivity for experimentation, a habit of mind which he cultivated and increasingly indulged over a career spanning two decades. Our approach to understanding the ongoing development of his complex and audacious artistry will involve two complementary interpretive practices: close reading and performance. In addition to writing essays based on analysis of Shakespeare's poetry and stagecraft, each student will be required to stage one of Shakespeare's scenes in collaboration with classmates. The successful implementation and integration of these practices will help us draw meaningful conclusions about those aesthetic features which have made his drama and poetry uniquely able to stand the test of time.

Bevington, which we will take turns reading aloud in class. These readings will use up about 25% of our class time. Another 25% will be allotted to the instructor who, while filling in the plays' historical background, will also lay out their main themes and try to make those as familiar to you as they were to Shakespeare's original audiences. The other 50% of our class time will be given over to discussion, which will grow out of our questions about the reading and interpretation of Shakespeare's text. NOTE: You should avoid this course if you dislike paying close attention to a literary text. If on the other hand you want to experience Shakespeare's plays the way he intended, this is the course for you.

- Class Description:
- In this course, you'll learn how to read, understand, and comment upon seven of Shakespeare's plays. Class meetings will focus on particular scenes and speeches chosen from the texts in Bevington's COMPLETE SHAKESPEARE. While the instructor will draw upon Shakespeare's entire corpus to illustrate the playwright's familiar themes, this is NOT primarily a lecture course. On the contrary, at least half your grade will depend on your active participation, which includes taking the quizzes on the plays and handing in impromptu comments on our class discussions (there are no exams). The rest of your grade will depend on two writing assignments: (1) a 750-word paraphrase and (2) a 2000-word term paper, a full draft of which will be corrected and returned to you for revising. Please note that even though this class is not formally labeled "writing-intensive," everyone will be required to write clear, idiomatic English, and the style of your (revised) term paper can raise or lower your final grade. If paying close attention to--and occasionally memorizing--dramatic texts makes you impatient, you should avoid this course. If on the other hand you want to discuss and write about Shakespeare's original characters, or if you enjoy quoting their memorable language, this is the Shakespeare class for you.

- Class Description:
- This class will examine Shakespeare's major plays as expressions of England's emergence as a major commercial and military power in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Special attention will be payed to questions of national sovereignty, England's place in wider European community, religious conflict, and Atlantic expansionism. The first section of the course focuses on three plays that raise questions about England's relationship to the other countries within the British archipelago, especially Scotland: Macbeth, 1 Henry IV, and King Lear. We'll then take up the larger question of England's place in a evolving European intellectual and political culture with attention to three Italian plays, The Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice, and Othello. After Othello takes us to the Ottoman lands of the eastern Mediterranean, we will conclude with The Tempest and its vision of the old Mediterranean order yielded to the new economies of the Atlantic. Supplementary readings will be available both in Italian and in English translation. There will be two hourly exams and an extensive editorial exercise.

- English 3007 offers a perspective on William Shakespeare and his body of works, considering him as both a creator and creation of his culture and ours. We will pay attention to Shakespeare's historical, social, literary, and theatrical contexts as well as his continuing, contemporary social relevance. We will explore the several genres in which Shakespeare wrote--tragedy, comedy, history, and romance--and will examine the similarities and differences between representations on Shakespeare's stage and history. We will look at Shakespeare's major plays from his earliest plays to his latest, such as Richard II, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Measure for Measure, Othello, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Tempest. Students will write two short papers, participate in a group project, and write a term paper of eight to ten pages.

Bevington, which we will take turns reading aloud in class. These readings will use up about 25% of our class time. Another 25% will be allotted to the instructor who, while filling in the plays' historical background, will also lay out their main themes and try to make those as familiar to you as they were to Shakespeare's original audiences. The other 50% of our class time will be given over to discussion, which will grow out of our questions about the reading and interpretation of Shakespeare's text. NOTE: You should avoid this course if you dislike paying close attention to a literary text. If on the other hand you want to experience Shakespeare's plays the way he intended, this is the course for you.

- Class Description:
- This course will consist of a close examination of 8-10 plays spanning William Shakespeare's career: comedies, histories, tragedies, and romances. Our goal will be to view these works simultaneously as cultural artifacts of sixteenth and seventeenth-century England and as enduring classics of world literature that seem to transcend their cultural moment. To this end, we will apply various biographical, social, linguistic, generic, theatrical, political, and intellectual contexts to the plays. We will attempt to understand how these documents from early modern England have spoken so profoundly about the enduring mysteries of human experience from the moment of their inceptive genesis to the present day.

- In this course, students will wrestle with a variety of Shakespearean works with the challenge of re-evaluating their own and others' perceptions of the man and his writing. Texts will range from the sexy (Venus and Adonis) to the violent (Titus Andronicus), and from the comedies (Taming of the Shrew) to the tragedies (King Lear). Through it all, students will acquire a versatile knowledge of Shakespeare and his world, become adept in engaging with his works from a variety of theoretical angles, and be exposed to the many ways in which his works have been adapted over time.

- Class Description:
- Everyone knows William Shakespeare was a great playwright, but in addition to over 100 sonnets, he also wrote two long poems, Venus and Adonis and Lucrece. This course will consider relationships between Shakespeare's poetry and his plays. While some of the more canonical plays will be included, we will also read several of his less famous plays. We will conclude with a consideration of film adaptation. However, the connections between poetry, plays, and film all dig into the following questions: What is adaptation, and what is the line between creative adaptation and base imitation? How are stock themes of love, loss, and longing rendered vibrant and affectively compelling in these various mediums? Through a combination of primary and secondary sources, this course will provide a fresh consideration of Shakespeare's works.

- Class Description:
- In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase "in a nutshell," because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare--so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in "spot the cliches" until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex. Texts (may change some):The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear, Richard the Third, Henry V, and Twelfth Night.

- Class Description:
- As the intermediate course in Shakespeare here at the University of Minnesota, this course aims to be more than a simple introduction to Shakespeare and his works. Instead, we will read several of his plays in depth, exploring them both in terms of Shakespeare's culture and our own. The plays are chosen from across the genres of the Shakespearean canon: comedy, history, tragedy and romance. We will focus not only on the generic conventions of early modern drama, but on Shakespeare's personal innovations, his language, the historical and social contexts of his works, and contemporary scholarship of Shakespeare. Finally, by attending or viewing a production of Shakespeare, students will also consider how the performance of Shakespeare affects one's understanding of the literary text.

- When some people think of Shakespeare, they imagine knee breeches, impossibly ornate language, and overacting. Our course will try to counter those perceptions by thinking of Shakespeare as, to use Jan Kott's famous phrase, "our contemporary." We will emphasize the way that Shakespearean interpretation and production has changed over time and space, and how his plays might still challenge and please us in the theater and on the page. We will survey a range of Shakespeare's plays emphasizing both historical context and contemporary production.

- Class Description:
- This course examines the major plays of Shakespeare with particular attention to Renaissance criminality. From street cons to high treason, Shakespeare stages a wide variety of transgressions against the law, often questioning what is considered "criminal" in the first place. In addition to our analysis of political and social conflict in the plays, we will work through numerous critical approaches such as gender studies, nation building, and reception history. We will begin the course with three plays centered on crimes of the court: Macbeth, Richard II, and 1 Henry IV. We then move to plays that approach community tensions, including: Measure for Measure, Merchant of Venice, and Othello. We will conclude with Shakespeare's the Tempest, a play steeped in cross-community violence. While one goal of the course is to better understand the historical context that surrounds these plays, there will also be a significant emphasis on the continued impact of Shakespeare in today's world.

- This course has been designed to teach you how to read Shakespeare's plays. Each meeting will focus on a specific text from THE NECESSARY SHAKESPEARE, ed. Bevington, which we will take turns reading aloud in class. These readings will use up about 25% of our class time. Another 25% will be allotted to the instructor who, while filling in the plays' historical background, will also lay out their main themes and try to make those as familiar to you as they were to Shakespeare's original audiences. The other 50% of our class time will be given over to discussion, which will grow out of our questions about the reading and interpretation of Shakespeare's text. NOTE: You should avoid this course if you dislike paying close attention to a literary text. If on the other hand you want to experience Shakespeare's plays the way he intended, this is the course for you.

- Class Description:
- This class will examine Shakespeare's major plays as expressions of England's emergence as a major commercial and military power in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Special attention will be payed to questions of national sovereignty, England's place in wider European community, religious conflict, and Atlantic expansionism. The first section of the course focuses on three plays that raise questions about England's relationship to the other countries within the British archipelago, especially Scotland: Macbeth, 1 Henry IV, and King Lear. We'll then take up the larger question of England's place in a evolving European intellectual and political culture with attention to three Italian plays, The Taming of the Shrew, The Merchant of Venice, and Othello. After Othello takes us to the Ottoman lands of the eastern Mediterranean, we will conclude with The Tempest and its vision of the old Mediterranean order yielded to the new economies of the Atlantic. Supplementary readings will be available both in Italian and in English translation. There will be two hourly exams and an extensive editorial exercise.

- Whether you love him, hate him, or can't get enthused either way, William Shakespeare is the single most important figure in English literature. His plays continue to be relevant 500 years after they were written, and he has contributed more words and phrases to our language than anyone else. From poetry to performance to social perspective, our course will look at a number of important elements of Shakespeare's work while helping you develop your skills in literary analysis and critical thinking.

- Class Description:
- In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase "in a nutshell," because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare--so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in "spot the cliches" until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex. Texts (may change some):The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear, Richard the Third, Henry V, and Twelfth Night.

- Class Description:
- In this course, you'll learn to read and to write about the texts of Shakespeare's plays. Class meetings will focus on particular scenes and speeches chosen from THE NECESSARY SHAKESPEARE, ed. Bevington. While this is not a course in theater and the instructor is not offering directed rehearsals, nonetheless everyone will take turns reading Shakespeare's lines aloud, and you'll be asked to memorize the equivalent of five sonnets. Whatever the catalog may indicate, this is NOT a lecture course. On the contrary, at least half your grade will depend on your active participation---which includes doing on time the weekly assignments (quizzes, short papers and paraphrases); there are no exams. The rest of your grade depends on the term paper, which will be corrected and returned for revising. Please note that although this class is not formally labeled "writing-intensive," you will be required to demonstrate, after fifteen weeks, that you can quote and comment upon Shakespeare's text in clear, idiomatic English. The style of your (revised) term paper can raise or lower your course grade. If paying close attention to dramatic texts makes you impatient, you should avoid this course. If on the other hand you look forward to discussing and writing about Shakespeare's characters, or if you enjoy quoting their wonderful language, this is the class for you.

- What makes the plays of William Shakespeare popular and interesting nearly 400 year after his death? We will read and discuss approximately ten Shakespeare plays in an effort to answer this question.

Likely readings "Romeo and Juliet," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Richard II," "As You Like It," "Hamlet," " Twelfth Night," "Macbeth," "The Merchant of Venice," "King Lear," "The Winter's Tale," and "Antony and Cleopatra." This course fulfills a requirement for English majors, but non-majors are welcome too.

- Class Description:
- It's a weighty banquet of words Shakespeare sets before us (as anyone will know who has ever risked a herniated disk by picking up the Norton Shakespeare). Bring your appetites to this class, in which we will be gorging on no fewer than seven of Shakespeare's most delicious plays, accompanied by a few choice secondary readings, garnished with occasional film viewings, and topped by a selection of the Sonnets for dessert! We will of course read across the genres--pondering as we go the very notion of genre--so whether you prefer history, tragedy, or comedy, there will be something here for you. As to precisely which plays we will set ourselves, I will tell you that that although we will assuredly cover some of the best-known standards (Lear, Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar, and The Tempest are strong contenders), probably the fascinating "problem play" Measure for Measure (one of my personal favorites), and possibly Coriolanus (which has a great deal to say to our present political moment), I plan to tailor our reading syllabus at least in part to the needs and interests of the class. There is much to be gained from re-reading, and re-read we will, but if a goodly portion of the class has, for example, managed already to read Othello thrice, then I will be very receptive to the suggestion that we explore something new. Lectures will provide historical context and explicate some of Shakespeare's thematic preoccupations, but our emphasis overall will be on good, close, pleasurable reading. There will be one major essay, a midterm and final examination, yes, and reading quizzes, but all toward the ends not only of understanding what we?re reading but also delighting in it. Language doesn't get much richer and sweeter than Shakespeare, folks, and one of the benefits of taking this class will be a head at least slightly more full of his lovely words than when you arrived. To help you achieve this laudable aim, one of the course requirements will be that you learn by heart a few sonnets' worth of verse. Nothing too formidable, I assure you, and I'll be tucking away lines and reciting them right alongside the class.

- Course Catalog Description:
- Plays from all of Shakespeare's periods, including at least A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, the history plays, King Lear, Macbeth, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, and The Winter's Tale.
- Class Description:
- In a nutshell, if Shakespeare hadn't written all those plays I wouldn't be using the phrase ?in a nutshell,? because he created it. Aside from the translators of the King James Bible, no other writer has had as massive an impact on our language as Shakespeare?so much so that reading his plays often feels like an exercise in ?spot the cliches? until you realize they weren't cliches when he created them. We can have mixed feelings about his presence in our culture and our literary cannon, but we can't ignore it. In this class, we'll approach several plays through the lenses of history, sociology, psychology, gender, race, linguistics, performance, and whatever else we think of along the way. These plays are simultaneously windows into Early Modern England and living, breathing, often throbbing creations that continue to resonate in our own world. Also: puns! Many of them about sex. Texts (may change some):The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear, Richard the Third, Henry V, and Twelfth Night.

- Class Description:
- This course has been designed to teach you how to read Shakespeare's plays. Each meeting will focus on a specific text from THE NECESSARY SHAKESPEARE, ed. Bevington, which we will take turns reading aloud in class. These readings will use up about 25% of our class time. Another 25% will be allotted to the instructor who, while filling in the plays' historical background, will also lay out their main themes and try to make those as familiar to you as they were to Shakespeare's original audiences. The other 50% of our class time will be given over to discussion, which will grow out of our questions about the reading and interpretation of Shakespeare's text. NOTE: You should avoid this course if you dislike paying close attention to a literary text. If on the other hand you want to experience Shakespeare's plays the way he intended, this is the course for you.
