What's So Good About Shakespeare? (ELL099.09)

Limited Vacancies

This is a continuing course exploring the plays of Shakespeare. Since beginning in 2018 we have covered 20 plays so we're almost half way! We read and discuss – a lot. There is homework every other week to prepare for discussion. The emphasis is on the text but we try to imagine the theatrical possibilities and consider what terms like tragedy, comedy, history might mean.
