230642 Analyzing and Interpreting Shakespeare (S) (WiSe 2026/2027)

In this class, we will practice the tools of literary analysis and interpretation by taking a closer look at (some of) Shakespeare's sonnets and plays.

Teilnahmevoraussetzungen, notwendige Vorkenntnisse

I recommend that you attend Basis 2.1 "Introduction to Literary Analysis and Interpretation" first before attending this class.

Literaturangaben

Please buy or borrow a copy of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice: I recommend the Oxford World's Classics version edited by Jay L. Halio or the New Cambridge Shakespeare version edited by M.M.Mahood.
Please note that school editions, Klett parallel German/English editions, or random internet versions are NOT acceptable for scholarly work.

Other material will be made available on Moodle.
