Section Info: This course explores Shakespearean plays from a range of dramatic genres. We?ll look especially at the features that made these plays popular in their day: their open staging, their playful language, their laying bare of the period?s familial, national, gender, and racial tensions. We'll also consider how the meanings of ?Shakespeare? proliferate through the constant, sometimes subversive, reinvention of the plays by literary critics, performers, and adapters world-wide. Be ready for discussing proactively, performing scenes in class, and attending at least on Shakespeare play on campus. Written assignments include informal writings, three focused short papers, and a final exam.
