CORE 002 SC - Shakespeare and Love
) “The course of true love never did run smooth,” Shakespeare wrote. The playwright’s rough treatment of love offers ways to think about the conflicts and mysteries of living together as lovers, families, and citizens. We will focus on these themes, which endure today: the festive but skeptical presentation of love in the sonnets and comedies; the destructive toll that heroic codes take on marriage and family life in the tragedies; and the strange and bloody pull of nationalism in the histories. Secondary texts in philosophy, psychology, social theory, and cultural studies will supplement our study.
Instructor: G. Simshaw
