ENGL 352 - Shakespeare:Tragedy and History

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Shakespeare's tragedies and British histories are plays fraught with bloody political violence, desperate soul searching, and the unyielding weight of human suffering. The course builds a narrative about the shaping of modern subjectivity as influenced by Protestantism, literacy, and early modern English politics. We will supplement careful textual analysis with critical secondary readings, and we will pay special attention to the ways in which Shakespeare used and manipulated the conventions of genre. Note: For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written before 1800. 1.00 units, Seminar
