Name: ENGL - 263

Title: THE ART OF DRAMA

Section: 01

Semester: Spring - 2013

Credits: 3

Description:
The purpose of this course is to determine a working definition of drama, to understand what makes the experience of reading plays different from the experience of reading novels or poems. The class is organized in an historical manner, and the reading list moves chronologically, to permit us to observe the gradual development of the form as we gain a critical understanding of several examples of dramatic literature. We will read Sophocles, Shakespeare, Strindberg, Ibsen, Chekhov, Williams, Miller, Beckett, and August Wilson and Brian McDonagh. In addition to active attendance, the course requires two critical/historical/comparative papers about five pages long, a midterm and a final.
