Course Overview: <\/strong>We will cover several of the brilliant, bittersweet romance plays that Shakespeare created towards the latter part of his career. We will explore the thesis that these plays\u2014strangely suspended as they are between sunny comedy and bleak tragedy and despite their fantastical plots and unlikely settings\u2014may yet hew closer to \u201creal life\u201d than many of Shakespeare\u2019s other dramas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
