COM 547 - The Renaissance - Renaissance Intertextualities

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

A course on literary relations in the early modern period, from the continent to Shakespeare. After some attention to theories of intertextuality, reading, translation, and influence, we will focus on several major European authors from antiquity and the Renaissance, particularly as they emerge in the astonishing industry of Elizabethan translation, e.g., Golding's Ovid, North's Plutarch, Harington's Ariosto, Holland's Livy, and Florio's Montaigne. We will consider these works in triangulation: the foreign original, the Elizabethan English version, the re-emergence of both in Shakespeare's plays.
