Shakespeare is at once familiar and disconcertingly strange; easy to praise, hard to read, let alone perform. The things that estrange us from the plays and poems—linguistic change, unstable texts, uncertain contexts--have gradually slipped out of general view, producing a version of Shakespeare that sounds suspiciously like ourselves. This course, by examining ten plays via a selection of manageable excerpts, will try to restore something of Shakespeare’s image, by freeing it from the film of familiarity. The emphasis will be securely on the language, however insecure our knowledge of that is.
