ENGL 3510 - Shakespeare

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

English

Description:

Required of English majors pursuing an emphasis in Literary Studies or English Education, and open to other interested students. Students can expect to do close readings of at least six plays and to study such secondary materials as literary criticism, historical background, and film and theatrical representations of the plays. As perhaps the single most important cultural icon in our society, Shakespeare also offers an excellent opportunity to look at the nature of literary reputations, national competitiveness in cultures, and the shifting map of such issues over time. Students will learn to incorporate these materials into their own class discussions and will also produce papers and take exams that reflect their new knowledge. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify the characters, settings, plots, etc. of nine plays. 2. Apply literary criticism, historical background, and film and theatrical representations of the plays to introduce and support (through class discussions and written assignments) original arguments about Shakespeare's works. 3. Investigate and debate the nature of literary reputations, national competitiveness in cultures, and the shifting map of such issues over time using the works of Shakespeare. 4. Examine the plays by decoding Shakespeare's images and being able to fit his works into literary, historical, cultural, aesthetic, philosophical, or political contexts. Prerequisite: ENGL 2010 (Grade C or higher) or ENGL 2010A (Grade C or higher). SP
