Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course focuses intensely on two of the Renaissance period's most influential writers -- William Shakespeare and Edmund Spenser. Both writers engage deeply with the imaginative work that fiction can do in addressing the deepest desires and fears; both theorize the imagination's powers as well as its distortions and limitations. Through an intensive study of these writers, students will learn to reflect carefully on their own reading and interpretive processes, as well as on the capacities and horizons of imaginative writing itself.
