The minor in Shakespeare studies is an inter-disciplinary approach to Shakespeare in performance. It is based on these convictions: (1) Shakespeare, as an exemplary literary and historical figure, merits intensive study; (2) the literary, historical, and philosophical study of Shakespeare’s text informs and enriches the production of his plays; (3) the discipline and experience of performing his plays illuminates the academic study of his work.

Professors: Macfie, Malone
