- 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 course is an in-depth examination of representative works by William Shakespeare. We will read Shakespeare's plays in connection with the culture of the English Renaissance, exploring the political, social, and intellectual backgrounds of England under Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. Contemporary critical approaches to Shakespeare will further enrich our study of his plays. We will focus on a number of issues related to current Shakespearian scholarship, including gender, sexuality, authority, violence, and politics. The performance conditions of Shakespeare's theatres will also concern us, as will the performance and reception history of the plays. The reconstructed Globe Theatre in London, recent studies of Renaissance acting companies and staging practices, and ongoing work on gender issues connected with boy actors will comprise topics of interest. The construction of Shakespeare as a cultural symbol, which began in the eighteenth century and continues today, will furnish additional material for discussion as we explore why these works have endured for over four hundred years.
