ENGL 325 - English Renaissance Drama

Credits: (3)
This course studies the remarkable flourishing of drama in Elizabethan and Jacobean England, periods characterized by their dramatic inventiveness and innovation. We will study early modern interventions into the development of the Classical genres of tragedy and comedy as well as the development of new dramatic genres, including the history play, the revenge tragedy, the dramatic epic, the masque, and the comedy of humors. Works studied may include plays by Dekker, Kyd, Marlowe, Marston, Cary, Shakespeare, Jonson, Middleton, Webster, and Ford.
