Course Catalog Description:
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:
How do we explain the enduring popularity of Shakespeare's plays? In this course, we will read a selection of his plays (two comedies, two tragedies, and two history plays). We will situate them in their historical context before considering their reception and adaptation across a range of temporal and geographic locations. Readings will likely include "The Taming of the Shrew," "Much Ado About Nothing," "King Lear," "Othello," "Richard II," and "Henry V."

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-.
