Description
Subject Area: English
You will study a range of Shakespeare's plays from different genres (history, tragedy, comedy, romance) and be presented with a range of critical approaches to these plays. The course will provide you with opportunities to understand and to interrogate Shakespeare's position as a benchmark of excellence in western cultural tradition and a core component of English literary education. While you will focus mainly on the Shakespearean script as a form of literature, you will also consider how this script is related to performance on stage and screen.
