Course description

Since the appearance of the First Folio in 1623 with its divisions of the plays into comedies, tragedies, and histories a discussion of genre has been central to critical debates about Shakespeare. This course sets out to examine the usefulness of these generic classifications, through exploration of a wide range of Shakespearean plays.
