Globe TheatreThis course meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:30 - 1:45 PST. The honors section for the course is cancelled so that I can devote the time instead to extended office hours, which will be held Thursdays 2-4 pm. PST. You will all be provided with a Zoom invitation for the regularly held office hours. When you Zoom in you will enter a "waiting room," and I will see students in the order in which I receive a request for entry. This is to preserve privacy.

 

In lecture and class sections, we will study five representative plays from the first part of Shakespeare's career, often in conjunction with film adaptations of the works. The five plays are The Taming of the Shrew, Richard II, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, and Hamlet. Students are expected to read each play at least twice. The mid-term and exam will expect high familiarity with the plays. Lectures will not proceed in narrative order through the individual plays but will discuss dominant themes and issues addressed by each play in its entirety. A short paper and a longer paper will allow students to hone their critical writing skills. Individual sections will require students to attend regularly and contribute to the class discussions. There will be no honor section for this course.

 

Students taking early modern classes are encouraged to contact the TAs for the lecture as well as the Fellow for the Early Modern Center (SH 2510) . While, in an online setting, you cannot use the EMC's facilities, the graduate student TA (The Early Modern Center Fellow), Giorgina Paiella will be available to help you with any questions or problems you might have operating the online equipment (as will Kerr Hall Instructional Services).  Just email the EMC TA, but email your course section TA with specific course questions.

 

Students interested in English literature 1500-1800 are also encouraged to make a specialization of Early Modern Studies. Students qualify for an EMS specialization when they take four elective courses in English or American literature covering all or part of the period 1500-1800. For more information see Early Modern Studies. If you are interested in signing up for the specialization, please fill out the one-page form with the Department's Undergraduate Advisor, Thomas Huff . Also, if you are interested in being included in the online mailings for undergraduate early modern studies (emus), please contact Giorgina Paiiella at the above email link or at emcfellow@gmailcom.
