Prerequisite ENGL 100 & 110

31395 ENGL 302-C01 - Shakespeare: Histories/Tragedies
J. Purnis TR 10:00-11:15
We will study Titus Andronicus, Richard III, 1 Henry IV , Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear, considering the plays in light of their social, political, religious, and theatrical contexts. We will discuss the role of Shakespeare's history plays in contributing to or challenging Tudor propaganda; the generic conventions of tragedy; and spectacles of violence, madness, and the supernatural
31399 ENGL 328AC - Romancing Renaissance Narrative
G. Sherbert TR 14:30-15:45 - CL 417
This course focuses on sixteenth-century prose fiction and the various genres ranging from satire to romance. We study issues raised by the texts, such as the nature-nurture controversy and the virtues of the active and contemporary life, using various modern historic methods which analyse the relationship between politics and poetics.
31401 ENGL 339AB - Literature and the Holocaust
M. Trussler MWF 9:30-10:20 - CL 408
This course examines texts written by survivors of the Holocaust (memoir, fiction, poetry) as well as more recent texts by those by who didn't experience it directly.
31402 ENGL 384AJ - Place in Contemporary Fiction: The Settings and Spaces of Narrative
C. Melhoff MWF 13:30-14:20 - CL 435
This course considers the role of place in contemporary fiction, from real-world locations to strange, impossible imaginary geographies. Thinking of place as more than just setting, as merely the zone in which plot unfolds, what else can we learn about narrative from the study of its representations of environmental spaces?
