This module explores key issues in the reception and interpretation of Shakespeare as a cultural icon in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Themes and methods in cultural history will be examined. Students will read the prescribed texts in relation to a set of theories labeled "Cultural Studies". These include, but are not restricted to, cultural history, gender studies, post-structuralism, postcolonialism and new historicism. The focus may be on theoretical approaches or film adaptations or other "revisions". |
