THEA 218SHAKESPEAREAN3

DRAMA IN CONTEXT (T) Shakespearean Drama in Context is a course that asks students to study Shakespeare’s plays in the context of adaptation. It focuses on Shakespeare as a playwright whose work has been adapted over time, but also as a playwright who frequently imitated and adapted the work of others in his own time. In so doing, students re-evaluate the concept of Shakespeare as "singular" and "unique," to understand his plays - and all plays - as part of a process rather than an end product.
