ENGL 40227 - Shakespeare II

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

In this course we will read, in roughly chronological order, the plays from the second half of Shakespeare's career as dramatist. Beginning with Julius Caesar and concluding with Two Noble Kinsmen, we will cover nineteen plays over the course of the semester. Though we will read several comedies, the syllabus is dominated by the mature tragedies - Hamlet, Othello, Lear, and Macbeth - and late romances Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest. This course is paired with Shakespeare I (Fall 2004), which covers the first half of the Shakespeare canon (though Shakespeare I is not a prerequisite for this course). Requirements will include a midterm, a final, several passage analyses, and one 5 to 7 page paper.
