(syllabus)
Elizabethan drama was the dominant art form that flourished during and after the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). Before, drama consisted of morality plays and interludes. The Elizabethan age saw the birth of a new kind of dramatic activity. The aim of the course will be to explore some of the most famous Elizabethan plays and to contextualise them in their cultural and historical background. After some lessons devoted to the cultural history of theatre from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and to the form, the style and the main topics of Elizabethan drama, the other lessons will be devoted to the close reading and analysis of the texts according to a historical arrangement.
