- Course Catalog Description:
- For over four hundred years, William Shakespeare has remained the most quoted poet and the most regularly produced playwright in the world. From Nelson Mandela to Toni Morrison, from South African playwright Welcome Msomi to Kuwaiti playwright Sulayman Al-Bassam, Shakespeare's works have continued to influence and inspire authors and audiences everywhere. This course examines representative works of Shakespeare from a variety of critical perspectives, as cultural artifacts of their day, but also as texts that have had a long and enduring vitality. This is a required course for English majors and minors, but it should also interest any student who wants to understand why and how Shakespeare continues to be one of the most important literary figures in the English language. 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:
- 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:
