Welcome to the Course!

 Welcome to the official blog of Fall 2022's Shakespeare's Tragedies course! Here you'll find all the readings, questions, assignments, and other announcements you'll need to enjoy the course. You won't have to interact with the blog in any way, other than to find the assignments and bring your responses to class. 

Be sure to buy the books for the course as soon as you can, especially Poole's Tragedy: A Very Short Introduction, since we'll start reading it this week! You can get any version of the Shakespeare plays on the syllabus, though I personally find the Folger editions to be the most helpful for those still new to Shakespeare's language. You can find all the books in ECU's bookstore, but feel free to find them elsewhere, too, if you like. 

If you have any questions or concerns, e-mail me at jgrasso@ecok.edu, or come to my office after class (348--right next to our classroom). 

See you in class!
