Content
This course approaches Shakespeare mainly from a historical and philological perspective. Was Shakespeare a creator and defender of the Tudor myth and its establishment of a strong central authority and social stability? Or did he sympathize with the rebel? How does he use and transform medieval and renaissance stage traditions, and create his own? What has been the response to his drama since his death in 1616?
