first semester
The course offers an introduction to the art of primitive listening to the work of Shakespeare, a reading which, as Michele Montrelay puts it, can lead us back to our origins. We will learn this art of primitive listening, attentive the poetic formations of the unconscious, primarily from the quintessence of Shakespeare’s poetics: the lyric poetry of the sonnets and the narrative poetry, in particular “A Lover’s Complaint,” the sequel to the Sonnets (1609), which may be termed the key to Shakespeare’s poetics. We will use our perceptions of Shakespeare’s mappings of the formations of the unconscious to explore Shakespeare’s poetic plays in their various genres, paying close attention to the relationship of all these genres to the genre which Renaissance writers were most preoccupied with, aesthetically, conceptually, and psychologically: the genre of pastoral (past-oral), the genre most engaged with the thinking of desire as an anchorless movement of encore (en-corps). We will read the texts while paying close attention to Shakespeare’s manipulation of poetic and rhetorical forms as means for the exploration of issues of desire, perversion, sexualities, femininity, origin, and dream.

Texts:

The Sonnets
“A Lover’s Complaint”
“The Rape of Lucrece”
Henry V
As You Like It
Measure for Measure
Taming of the Shrew
Hamlet
Cymbeline

Requirements: midterm, final, one paper.

second semester
This introductory course in Shakespearean drama deals with a selection of his plays, with at least one representative from each of the major genres. In each case, the course will define the relevant generic strategy and apply it analytically to the play, while attempting to take into account the particularity and complexity of that play. The overall selection is arranged in rough chronological order, so that it also gives some sense of Shakespeare's development.The recommended edition is the latest Arden, but the New Cambridge is a good alternative
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Richard II
Henry IV Part One
Hamlet
Measure for Measure
Troilus and Cressida
Tempest
