Title: SHAKESPEARE: TRAGEDIES AND ROMANCES

Section: 01

Semester: Spring - 2012

Credits: 3

Description:
This course examines several of Shakespeare’s major tragedies and romances as cultural productions reflecting the concerns, anxieties, values, and ideologies of Shakespeare}s England. While we attend to the development of tragedy and romance as genres, we give careful consideration to social problems such as constructions of gender and class, the complex identity of the hero and the scapegoat, and the contests for political power that are the particular focuses of this drama, seen through the development of tragic patterns and concerns from play to play. Requirements: 2 papers (5 and 10 pages, respectively, the latter involving research), a midterm and a final exam. Class discussion is expected and encouraged.
