Description:

Lobis Some of Shakespeare's most powerful plays were neither tragedies nor comedies, but in some sense both. This course will be devoted to the dramatic hybrids that we now call histories and romances. We will read selected history plays and romances, roughly spanning Shakespeare's career, and will explore a range of topics, including language, genre, gender history, political theory, metatheatricality, the family, and the natural world. We will also consider the history of our plays on state and screen. Offered every other year.
