Prerequisites and assumptions: completion of English 56A, passing score on the WST and upper division standing This class assumes familiarity with the major monuments and features of Early Modern English literature and some passing experience with one or two Shakespeare plays. Our course is registered at HYPERLINK "http://www.turnitin.com" www.turnitin.com. To join the class, log in to Turnitin and register. Enter the course code (2354920) and the password Shylock. The course syllabus and all assignments for the course will be posted there. Additionally, we will be using the discussion board feature of the program throughout the semester Required Texts: Stephen Orgel and A.R. Braunmuller, eds. The Complete Pelican Shakespeare Russ McDonald, The Bedford Companion to Shakespeare, 2nd ed Boston/New York: Bedford/St.Martin抯 2001 In addition to the plays chosen for this semester, there is considerable reading assigned from The Bedford Companion to Shakespeare (hereafter BCS). Because we will be reading together in class, and because even excellent editions vary from one another, it is strongly advised that you use the edition of Shakespeare assigned for the class. Course Description: this course will provide an introduction to Shakespeare, and梐long the way 朼n overview of the political and historical context of his work, an introduction to the language/s of Early Modern England, useful information about making, performing and printing of plays in this period, background information about life in Renaissance England, and 杦ith luck梥ome insight into the way that literature can help us understand ourselves and the interesting world we have made. We will be reading the plays selected for this semester for the most part in the order Shakespeare wrote them. In that way, we will be able to discuss the progress of his career as we move along. Different plays present special opportunities for discussion of topics germane to the course. Readings in BCS will present topics related to our study of Shakespeare抯 plays. Objectives: to introduce you to a number of Shakespeare抯 major plays and the major dramatic forms of the Renaissance (comedy, history, tragedy); to give you substantial experience reading and interpreting language of the period; to demonstrate how the past can help us understand the present; to make you a more interesting and complete person. Course Requirements: Reading: Assigned plays and supplementary readings must be completed before we begin to discuss them in class. Participation: Active class participation, which implies regular attendance, is required. A pattern of absences will lower your grade. Arriving late to class is not a good idea. - Performing Shakespeare: Throughout the semester, I will ask students to read aloud from the plays. Additionally, I will ask you to select and commit to memory one of Shakespeare抯 short poems ( this may also be the subject of your first paper). We will discuss poem recitation strategies in class. Later in the semester, we will organize the class into four casts to rehearse and perform a scene from one of the plays we have read. More complete instructions will be provided at the appropriate time. Papers: Two formal essays are required for this course. The first will be a brief (3-4 page.) exposition either of a passage you select or of the sonnet that you have committed to memory. Possible topics for your second paper (5-8 pages) due on a November date (to be announced) will be discussed in class. The specifics of each assignment (topic, formatting, length and related details will be presented separately and also posted on Turnitin) Papers will be assessed for content and style and graded on a scale of A-F. Papers are due IN CLASS at the beginning of the class period. If your paper is late, I will read it without comment and make note of its lateness. Late papers will lose one letter grade per day. Emailed submissions are not acceptable. Quizzes/midterms: There will be two half-hour quizzes during the semester . Their dates and precise requirements will be discussed in class and also posted. Final Exam : The final examination for this course will consist of a reflective essay on a topic to be discussed in advance. The quizzes excepted, all work for the class will be submitted to Turnitin as well as in hard copy.

Some students may appear to be better prepared than you, some may seem to speak readily and fearlessly in class at times when you are uncertain what is going on. Your job is to ignore everything but your subject and to focus on learning. Try to remember that studying literature is supposed to be fun. And funny, too. What you learn in the class is largely up to you. That is also true for how you learn it: these days, the web is full of Shakespeare shortcuts. You can take as many of them as you see fit, but if you want to get the maximum benefit from your class, the very best way is to read the texts, read aloud as much as you can, read the notes and introductions. Read the secondary material in BCS and look at the 揑llustrations and Documents�: they will deepen your grasp of the subject. Many of the plays for the course are available on DVD and in the library. If you are having difficulty with any aspect of this course or if you have a personal emergency, you should contact me promptly. I will be helpful to you in any reasonable way, but it is your responsibility to alert me to the problem. If your schedule is such that you anticipate missing many classes, you should not enroll in this course. Caveats: Please keep a copy of any out of class written work you submit and retain all graded work until the end of the semester. Plagiarism, the submission of another抯 work as one抯 own (in any sense), cheating of any kind, or the submission of work done for another class, will be dealt with according to university policy. It is the policy of the Department of English and Comparative Literature to evaluate all written work for quality and correctness and, in so doing, to use the full range of the grading scale (A-F). Cell phones, laptops, and electronic equipment must be turned off during class except as required for ADA accommodation. Special Accommodation: Please see me if you have ADA issues of any kind. I will gladly arrange satisfactory accommodation for you. You are responsible for reading this course syllabus. Please consult it before raising questions in class.
