Poststucturalism and Shakespeare

3 credits

This course uses select plays by Shakespeare as test cases to examine the challenges presented by five poststructuralist approaches - deconstruction, psychoanalysis, Marxism, feminism, and queer theory. The course explores how poststructuralism aids us in formulating an ethics of the other in Shakespeare's plays. *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ENGL 802AC or ENGL 410AC.*
