EXPOS 20.041 - Shakespeare's Inventions

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

We will first examine what Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet can tell us about how individuals-in particular Shakespeare himself-actively invent and renegotiate their identities within the confines of a given culture. In the third unit we will look at Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966) and Shakespeare in Love in order to assess the extent to which we rely on the re-invention of Shakespeare's works for our own cultural identity.
