Course Description

In honor of Shakespeare400, the worldwide, year-long celebration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, we are offering a three-quarter sequence of all of his plays. This semester we will read the comedies in the order in which he wrote them. These plays include the expected comedic themes of love and marriage, both young and mature, and issues between children and parents. However, Shakespeare’s late comedies, his “problem plays,” sometimes eschew happy endings, leaving the audience to consider problems such as jealousy and alienation of affection, and the difficulty of reconciliation. 

For the first class, please read The Taming of the Shrew.
