ENGL 311 - Renaissance Drama (not including Shakespeare)

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
The course focuses on drama of the Renaissance, a time when playhouses faced censorship, plague closures, and competition from bears wrestling dogs. From being murdered, to prison sentences, to death by plague, many of the writers had a hard time as well. We will study plays (some obscure, some quite strange, others rather famous, all enormously interesting) from this very rich and volatile period of literary history. British, Pre-1700.
