Description
Shakespeare's influence on the world has been profound. From language, to literature, to cultural references, one does not need to look far to find some intersection with the bard. Thus, this class will focus upon the influences on Shakespeare, and students will analyze a variety of his texts. Additionally, we will consider Shakespeare's influence on the modern world through contemporary adaptions of his world. With these adaptions, students will be analyzing film. Finally, students will participate in a project that helps them understand how literature can continue to have a significant impact on our word. Prerequisite: ENGL121 or equivalent.
