Description:
This course examines several of Shakespeare’s major comedies and history plays as cultural productions reflecting the concerns, anxieties, values, and ideologies of Shakespeare’s England. While attending to the forms and general aims of comedy and the history play as genres, we give careful consideration to social problems such as gender and class construction, conformity and scapegoating, and the contests for political power that are the particular focuses of this drama, seen through patterns and issues as they arise and continue from play to play. Students write two papers (5 and 10 pp., respectively) and take a midterm and final exam. Class discussion is expected and encouraged. Prerequisites: ENWR 106 or HONP 101.
