ENG 522 Shakespeare

An in-depth study of the sonnets and representative plays from each of the four genres, approached from historicist and presentist perspectives: that is, both as products of their cultural moment, and in terms of their meanings in later eras—including in the popular culture of our day. Study of the works will be informed by readings of scholars working within Marxism, psychoanalysis, feminism, new historicism and cultural materialism, postcolonial theory, and film studies. Students will develop independent research projects. (3 credits)
