- 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:
- This course is an in-depth examination of representative works by William Shakespeare. We will read Shakespeare's plays in connection with readings related to their political, social, historical, and intellectual backgrounds. We will also engage with a variety of critical approaches to Shakespeare, including performance studies, gender studies, and reception history, covering such topics as sexuality, authority, violence, politics, and staging issues. Finally, we will take into account the complex history of Shakespeare's reputation over the last 400 years, and the performance and critical history of his canon.
