ENGL 323 - Shakespeare in Repertory 4 credit(s) How did the theatre industry-playhouses, personnel, playwrights-shape the marketplace in which William Shakespeare would come to train? In this course, students explore the theatreland of Renaissance London through the two biggest companies of the 1590s: the Lord Strange’s and Lord Admiral’s players. Considering questions of competition and innovation by exploring repertory-based strategies such as sequels, thematic seasons, and typecasting, students will employ a range of critical frameworks-including Repertory Studies, New Historicist, Performance Studies, and Textual Editing-to analyze early modern manuscripts, interrogate the scholarly apparatuses through which they are disseminated, and illuminate the ways in which literary canons become entrenched. Offered: Offered every year.
