Tragedy to the English Renaissance Engineering Program Fall 2019 Semester - London

This Module studies the Greek and English Renaissance stages and explores original staging conditions, developing students? understanding of the relationship between space, architecture and meaning, as well as examining their respective social contexts. We will examine the original performance conditions of each period and analyse the relationship of form to meaning paying particular attention to changing concepts of dramatic tragedy. Many of the plays are quite short, but that said, the reading for this Module is fairly heavy; the goal in setting the syllabus has been to expose students to a representative variety of tragic drama in the periods under examination.
