| 3 hours Topic Section R3: Ibsen in Translation: The Major Plays of a Major Playwright. This course is dedicated to the major plays of Henrik Ibsen, one of the most important playwrights in the history of modern drama. This class will give students a thorough understanding of the structures, themes, and socio-historical contexts of Ibsen's drama. Particular areas of focus include addressing metaphors of economics, politics of gender, and the function of sets and architectural representation. We will also study production- and audience-related aspects. Ibsen's international legacy is significant and his influence extends across world literature, which this course addresses (e.g. Shaw, O'Neill, the Chinese Nora-dramas, modern film adaptations). The course features a strong research component and emphasizes group work, including some in-class reciting. Cross listed with: CWL 463/THEA 483 Meets with: GWS 495/ENGL 455 | ||||||
