TITLE: Teachers as Scholars: Teaching Shakespeare/Shakespeare for Teachers

TIME: 8:30-3:30 PM
LOCATION: University Hall, ADP Center Room 1120
INSTRUCTOR: Naomi C. Liebler
Back by popular demand: For Shakespeare, as we know, the play was the thing, but what sort of thing was it? How different was a comedy from a tragedy? (Hint: they’re not as different as we might think.) Comedy and tragedy are more than two masks; they are refracting mirrors of a kaleidoscope whose bits of colored glass never change but seem to shift as we turn the cylinder. This seminar is tailored to current schools' curricula at all levels. It will explore the key principles, some separate, some overlapping, of the two major Shakespearean genres that organize that kaleidoscope into his glorious commentary on the great pageant of human concerns.
