Subject Description

This subject will explore the variety within the genre 'tragedy' in two of its most significant manifestations, Greek and Shakespearean. The detailed study of particular plays will be combined with an attempt to indicate the relevance of historical and theoretical considerations to the interpretation of these plays. Students who complete this subject successfully will have a close familiarity with a representative range of Greek and Shakespearean tragedies and be able to bring historically and theoretically informed ways of reading to the enterprise of interpretation.
