ENG 309 - Shakespeare and the Performance of Cultures

“What is my nation?” This key question from Henry V can be interjected into many of Shakespeare’s plays. This course will look especially at how Shakespeare’s plays serve to define places, peoples, and individuals as products of their cultural influences. Richard III, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, Much Ado About Nothing, Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Merry Wives of Windsor may be among the plays we’ll read.
