ELIT 371 - Shakespeare and Culture

Institution:

SUNY College at Oneonta

Subject:

Description:

3 s.h. This seminar course is designed for students who wish to immerse themselves more fully in reading and analyzing a particular aspect of Shakespeare's plays. We will focus on one or two of the major genres ( e.g., comedies, histories, tragedies, romances) and consider how the plays intersect with a number of contentious issues in both early modern and postmodern cultures. Topics may range from legal and gender issues, to religion and the stage, to sexual and racial identity issues. In addition to reading carefully four or five plays, we will view film versions, where available, considering how these films contribute to the on-going reinvention and privileging of Shakespeare as "the Bard."
