Constance C. Relihan
An intensive study of several of Shakespeare's plays
in relation to their sources, the culture that produced them, and critical responses
to them. The plays we select will in part depend upon the interests of those
enrolled in the course. You can expect to write several short papers, give a
few oral presentations, develop a draft of an article-length critical essay
on a play, and discuss a lot.
