Reading list
Books to buy:
The following texts have been ordered for you at Facultas (shop on Campus)- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. Arden Edition [ISBN: 978-1903436912]
- William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing. Arden Edition [ISBN: 978-1472520296]
- William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra. Arden Edition [ISBN: 978-1904271017]Films to watch:- Baz Luhrman, Romeo + Juliet (US, 1996)
- Joss Whedon, Much Ado About Nothing (US, 2012)
- Iqbal Khan, Antony and Cleopatra (RSC live from Stratford-upon-Avon, 2017)Texts on Moodle:
There is no edition of Venus and Adonis on its own, therefore the Arden edition, taken from Shakespeare's Poems [ISBN: 978-1903436875], will be made available as a pdf-document on Moodle.Likewise, the sonnets we will discuss, taken from the Arden edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets [ISBN: 978-1903436578], will be made available in a pdf-document on Moodle.The same goes for the scholarly articles that will provide us with a representative array of Shakespeare studies' approaches to the texts we discuss.Preparatory background reading:
If you read German, whenever dealing with Shakespeare, this should be your first point of call, if you need to get a good general idea: Ina Schabert (ed.), Shakespeare Handbuch, Stuttgart: Alfred Kröner Verlag, 2000. Please familiarise yourselves with the respective entries on the three plays we are going to discuss. They will be available as pdf files on Moodle. A good second point of call is the introduction to the individual play in question, which is provided by every Arden edition. These intros are generally lengthy affairs, but their internal structure makes it easy to select which parts might be more relevant for the purpose at hand than others. Other critical texts on Shakespeare's plays and their cultural/political/historical/social contexts will be made available at the beginning of term as pdf files on Moodle.

There will be no student presentations in this class. Instead you are expected to act as a specialist for one lesson of the term, either alone or as a member of a team, depending on the number of participants. How exactly this works in terms of timing, what will be expected of you and what a 'prep mail', 'the double-feedback-loop' and a 'golden nugget' is, in all of which you are going to participate, I shall explain in detail in the first lesson.Quizzes:
There will be a text knowledge quiz that you will be able to fill in at home and hand in at the beginning of the first lesson on V&A, R&J, MA and A&C, respectively. The double charm of this is that improved text knowledge will lead to better discussions and that you can collect a relatively easy 10% of the total mark in this manner.
