Shakespeare has often seemed to stand apart. This course proposes instead that the full power of Shakespeare's drama and poetry emerges in dialogue. Students will read his plays alongside those of talented contemporaries; explore the dynamic social and political contexts of his writing; ask how Shakespeare's works can participate in modern conversations about race, sexuality, nation, and ability; or consider how "Shakespeare" is transformed by the bodies that perform, edit, or simply read his writing.
