| Notes: |
It was once a commonplace of literary history that the Renaissance "invented" individual subjectivity as a matter for literary inquiry. While this is demonstrably false, the plays and poems of William Shakespeare offer abundant portrayals and insights about the individual mind at work, and the individual actor among events larger than the self. This course will center on the "individual" in selected works of Shakespeare, will access recent and current scholarship on early-modern subjectivity, the central role of religious and political tension in early modern England, and new biographical work on the man Shakespeare. |
