Marlowe and Shakespeare

3 credits

This course treats Marlowe and Shakespeare as early modern dramatists who both overreach traditional categories in developing their own personal mythology. We examine 3-5 of Marlowe's canonical plays in relation to the 3-5 plays of Shakespeare with which they have been most often compared. *Note: This course is intended for ENGL Honours students. Students who are not ENGL Honours students require permission of the Department Head to register.* *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ENGL 410AB or ENGL 802AB.*
