Topics will include the European culture of early modern natural history and natural philosophy, the boundary between humans and beasts, the transformative power of the forest, the alterity of the sea, the dialectic of pastoral and georgic, the malleability of gender, and the complexity of sexual identities. Readings will include /A Midsummer Night’s Dream/, /As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Macbeth/, /The Winter’s Tale/, and /The Tempest/, and several of the sonnets and narrative poems. 3 hrs. lect.
