Academic Year 2000/2001
English Renaissance Drama
ENGL 111 FA
Largely because of the institutionalization of what Shaw mockingly dubbed "Bardolotry," most modern readers' encounter with English Renaissance drama starts and ends with the plays of Shakespeare. As a consequence, very
few students become acquainted
with other works from the Tudor and Stuart stage. This course attempts to remedy this deficiency by reading Shakespeare alongside a representative sample of some of the funniest, weirdest and most provocative plays of
his contemporaries and rivals.
MAJOR READINGS
Anon, ARDEN OF FAVERSHAM
Christopher Marlowe, THE JEW OF MALTA and EDWARD II
