- Course Catalog 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.
