English – Keith Dorwick
English 423 (G) (Shakespeare: The Early Plays/Shakespeare’s England) This
course will include a critical reading of the dramatic works of
Shakespeare to about 1600. ENGL 423 and 424 recommended for English
majors in lieu of ENGL 312. This course will look at the art and
music, including stagecraft, that surrounds and underlies the English
Stage in the Elizabethan period; trips will include the Globe and a day
trip to Shakespeare’s home, but also a visit to the National Portrait
Gallery to look at extant portraits of Shakespeare and some of the
characters in the histories, concerts presenting music from his day,
and plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries being presented in
London during the two weeks of our visit to Shakespeare’s England. (We
will accommodate students requiring English 312, Shakespeare-not
recommended for English majors.)
History – Rob Hermann
History 367/371 (Elizabeth’s England) Content
varies. May be repeated for credit to a maximum of 6 hours.
Alternative subtitles will appear on students’ transcripts. Elizabeth I
reigned over the Golden Age of England. This course will examine the
England of Elizabeth: the Tower of London, where she was held prisoner,
her likenesses in the National Portrait Gallery, and her palace at
Hampton Court. The England of the Virgin Queen was also the
England of the Renaissance and Shakespeare; we will therefore examine
the culture and literature of the age at the British Library,
Shakespeare's Globe, the Tate, and the Museum of London.
Elizabeth I is the most celebrated monarch in British history; through
an examination of the places and history of her reign, we will come to
understand the woman behind the icon and the forces that shaped her
world.
Course Credit will also be available in the Humanities and for students in the Honors Program. Back to England Page
