Course details

Name: ENGL - 353

Title: SHAKESPEARE: COMEDIES AND HISTORIES

Section: 01

Semester: Spring - 2015

Credits: 3

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 issues such as gender and class construction, conformity and scapegoating, and the contests for political power that are the particular focuses of this drama. Students write two papers (5 and 10 pp., respectively) and take a midterm and final exam. Class discussion is expected and encouraged.
