Week 1

Ist lecture: introduction to Shakespeare's times and contemporaries (Lecture notes augmented and displaced to Week 3).

Incipit analysed in class: some plan to devise and development of the outlined themes.

The list of texts to prepare over our six weeks of class will be given in the document "Plan for the lectures" once updated, and I invite you to read the two articles posted here on the question of race and the Africanity of Othello.
