ENGL 40528 - Early English Theatre

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course focuses on English theatre during the two-century 'run' from c. 1350-1576 of the great civic religious dramas known as cycle plays, which depict the breadth of cosmic and human history from the Creation to Doomsday. The study of drama and theatre of this period will help to establish the context for Shakespeare and his contemporaries by examining not only the surviving plays but also the sources that provide external evidence of drama, secular music, and other communal entertainment and ceremony.
