For Wednesday: Who Is This Man?
For Wednesday's class, there is no reading, but we will discuss the identity of the man who posterity has called Shakespeare. Is he as history claims, a lowly actor from the provinces who worked his way up to the greatest dramatist/poet in English history? Or was his name borrowed by a nobleman or woman from court, who couldn't have his or her name attached to lowly stage plays, but had a burning desire to write and shape his/her society? Find out on Wednesday!
We'll also discuss finding journal articles on JSTOR which can help you on Papers #2 and 3. See you then!
