Overview

Shakespeare's plays and poetry formed part of a flourishing period of literary and theatrical innovation. Yet the nature of this period has been the subject of changing opinion: it was once known as the Golden Age, then given the name 'Renaissance,' and more recently called the Early Modern period. This course examines the literature of this period in its social contexts and explores the place of Shakespeare on the Elizabethan stage. You will develop the ability to critique received scholarly opinion on the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.

This course provides a detailed study of a formative period in English Literature. You will examine Shakespeare and other major Early Modern writers and be assessed on your knowledge of social and political contexts for poetry and plays in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The course advances knowledge gained in first-year English Literature courses and is pivotal for Bachelor of Secondary Education students preparing to teach English and Literature at high school.
