University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course will survey Tudor-Stuart drama. A collective Stock Exchange of ideas, as well as, a laboratory of and for the new social relations of agricultural and commercial capitalism, the new professional theater quickly developed a number of innovative genres and provided an outlet for a wide variety of dramatists. Our objective will be to recapture this broad cultural ferment by reading a representative range of plays by Kyd, Marlowe, Jonson, Dekker, Heywood, Beaumont, Chapman, Fletcher, Webster, and Ford. There are no prerequisites, but some familiarity with Shakespeare's major works will be helpful. Students will be asked to do an in-class presentation and write a 25-page research paper.
