Shakespeare Studies
Website: Shakespeare Studies
The minor in Shakespeare studies is an interdisciplinary approach to Shakespeare in performance. It is based on these convictions: a) Shakespeare, as an exemplary literary and historical figure, merits intensive study; b) the literary, historical, and philosophical study of Shakespeare’s text informs and enriches the production of his plays; c) the discipline and experience of performing his plays illuminates the academic study of his work.
