Long Title: STUDIES IN MAJOR BRITISH AUTHORS: SHAKESPEARE

Department: English

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Seminar

Credit Hours: 3

Description: Studies in Major British Authors is a topics course which offers the opportunity for in-depth investigation of one or more major authors, not possible in the broader survey formats. The topic for Fall 2005 is "Shakespeare". This seminar is conceived as a kind of "anti-survey course" in Shakespeare. We will limit ourselves to just three of his plays: Othello, King Lear, and Antony and Cleopatra, and immerse ourselves in the nuances and the larger questions that have to be rushed through when coverage is a necessity. Repeatable for Credit.
