ENG 325 Shakespeare: The Tragedies and Tragi-Comedies
Explores Shakespeare's development as a writer of tragedies and romances. The nature of tragedy is explored as Shakespeare's growing mastery over this genre is traced-from the early, derivative plays to the pinnacle of achievement in this form, and beyond. By studying Shakespeare's romances, students gain an appreciation of his last phase, the period of the tragi-comedies. While this course primarily enables students to deal with the plays as literature, attention is also given to their nature as theatrical productions.
