ENGL 322 - Shakespeare


A study of selected Shakespeare plays examined through modern and historical, social and political, theoretical and performance perspectives. English 322 is offered only during the spring term. While covering a wide variety of plays, this term features King Lear as one tragedy, along with Henry V, 1 Henry VI, and representative early and late comedies and romances. One play by a contemporary of Shakespeare’s (Marlowe, Jonson, or Middleton) is often included. Students can count both ENGL 321 and ENGL 322 for credit toward the concentration, although only one can be counted for pre-1800 credit. (Pre-1800 course.)
