Shakespearean Comedies: As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure

In this course we’ll read three of Shakespeare’s comedies, all believed to have been written between 1599 and 1604. There are elements that unite these three plays – disguises, heartache, severe moral tests, more or less happy endings – but we will approach them with no fixed agenda or methodology, apart from the aim to discover whatever we can about them through close reading and probing conversation. I will provide written questions to serve as starting points for our class discussions.
