STEV 44 Shakespeare Research Seminar

Introduces students to different forms of literary research through the works of William Shakespeare. Together, students read five plays, along with articles that represent a range of methodological approaches to literary scholarship and research. In addition to a final paper, four research exercises are assigned throughout the quarter, of which students must complete two of their choosing. Each exercise requires a different methodology: a review of scholarship, historical research, history of theatrical production, and literary allusion.
