Welcome to our journey into Shakespeare, and more specifically, into how Shakespeare's plays and poems can help us investigate the nature of love, both historically and in modern culture. Be sure to buy the books for the class as soon as possible, particularly one of our central texts, de Sousa's Love: A Very Short Introduction. The other works we'll be reading are The Sonnets, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, Othello, and Antony and Cleopatra.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, impressions, misgivings, and epiphanies as we read through his works and consider the modern implications of the Elizabethan art of love (which, in many ways, we still subscribe to)!
