This course will examine the “cultural reception” of Shakespeare in America, as well as some of Shakespeare’s best-known plays, alongside significant American literary works (and some “popular” works) that are “Shakespearean” in character or that reflect Shakespeare’s influence. Students who successfully complete the course will be better able to analyze works of the imagination and will increase their ability to understand and explain Shakespeare, American literature and culture, and artistic influences and how they operate.
