ENGL 325 - Comparative Drama

Institution:

Widener University-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the drama of Western civilization through reading and discussing plays selected from the literatures of ancient (e.g., Aeschylus, Seneca), medieval (liturgical, anonymous), Renaissance (e.g., Racine, Jonson, Calderon de la Barca), and contemporary Europe (e.g., Stoppard, Beckett, Churchill). Some study will be made of the complex relationship between culture and literary form and instances will sometimes be taken from non-Western literatures. The critical method of studying these texts will vary from year to year. This course fulfills one of the pre-1800 literature requirements for English majors. 3 semester hours
