ENG 121-02 - Introduction to Shakespeare

4 credits (Fall)

This course introduces students to the worlds of Shakespeare. Students will sample the Bard’s poetic array (his sonnets, narrative poems, and plays); his local and international outlooks (from early modern England to the imagined wider world); his social and political commentaries; and his artistic legacies, especially in theatre and film. Together, we will develop skills in close reading, critical and creative writing, and literary historiography.

Prerequisite: None.
