In this upper division course you will study representative works of Shakespeare from a variety of cultural perspectives, as texts that have had a long and enduring vitality well beyond their historical context. This course tracks the history of Shakespeare's plays across time, in various artistic forms including art, music, film, and social media, looking at the ways these literary works have responded to issues of gender, race, sexuality, religion, disability, and class.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.
