Plays and Playwrights of the English Renaissance Excluding Shakespeare

Renaissance drama didn't begin or end with Shakespeare, and this course takes that premise seriously: you read the contemporaries — Kyd, Marlowe, Middleton, Ford — to see what early modern theatre actually looked like as a working tradition, with its own conventions around revenge, ghosts, transgression, and the political pressures of the playhouse. Expect close reading of a small number of plays in depth (The Spanish Tragedy and 'Tis Pity She's a Whore anchor the semester), in-class presentations, a midterm, and a take-home final where you produce original critical analysis. It pairs naturally with the Shakespeare courses and the broader early modern sequence, giving you the literary and historical context that makes Shakespeare legible as one voice among many rather than a solitary genius.
