Syllabus
  • The course will consist of a series of short lectures and seminar work with texts and some criticism. It will concentrate on the sonnet, particularly in the work of Sir Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare, and on Renaissance drama, which will include Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and William Shakespeare's Richard II, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Othello. The plays will be analysed in the light of both traditional and recent critical approaches. The poetry of the 17th century will be represented by John Donne and extracts from John Milton's Paradise Lost.
