- 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 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.
