We will not only examine the textual structures and historical contexts of Shakespeare’s plays but also consider their significance in constructing ‘Shakespeare’ as a cultural icon. In order to gain understanding of the Bard’s circulation withinthe popular culture of the 20th/21st centuries, thisclass explores various contemporary phenomena and situates them in theirrespective media contexts. Topics to be discussed include: ‘Shakespeare’ ascultural myth and commodity, theories of authorship, the politics of gender andsexuality, Shakespeare and film adaptation, British heritage, high versuspopular culture and literary tourism. Allparticipants are expected to enroll for a short oral presentation/ a studygroup before the beginning of term. A class schedule and a bibliography will bemade available online.
