ENG 428 - Shakespeare

Semester Hours: 4

In this seminar, upper-level English majors will deepen their familiarity with Shakespeare’s global achievement in dramatic genre (tragedy, comedy, history, romance), poetic composition, fleshed-out characterization, and theatrically effective stage presentation. Students will review the major figures and events in early modern British history to provide contexts for the works and then investigate the wide range of critical approaches to reading and deciphering the texts.
