Course Description
This course offers an introductory survey. It begins by asking why Shakespeare is still considered a writer worth studying, four hundred years after his death– and why his work tends to be given a particular prominence within English Studies. A selection of texts are then examined over the course of the term, covering all of the main genres and all periods of the canon. The course concludes by considering the question of how the study of Shakespeare's plays relates to theoretical issues more generally.
