Gender and Shrew-Taming Plays

3 credits

We will explore literary depictions of gender relations and other hierarchies of power by focusing on four shrew-taming plays of the late 16th and 17th centuries: The Taming of A Shrew, The Taming of The Shrew, The Woman's Prize, and Sauny the Scot. *Note: This course is intended for ENGL Honours students.
