REN 510 : SHAKESPEARE AND TEXTUAL CULTURE

This course investigates the processes by which early modern scripts became early modern and then modern texts. It further investigates the ways in which those texts mediate, regulate, and administrate the ways we perform Renaissance drama. Finally, the course explores the processes by which scholars have edited the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries and
the implications of those choices for modern readers, teachers, students, and—especially—performers. MLitt Core Elective. Either REN 510, 520, 535, or 550 is required for MLitt.
