ENGL 306 - Shakespeare’s Tragedies and Romances

(DEIB) Examines Shakespeare’s later plays, which plumb the depths of tragedy and explore the possibility of redemption. Plays typically covered include Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and The Tempest, among others. We will treat these plays as documents of their time and place that also speak to contemporary concerns such as racism, colonialism, and economic justice. Close reading of the playtexts is supplemented by analysis of stage productions and cinematic adaptations. Course Codes: BHR. Prereq: PEQ in Literature. DEIB-designated course.
