ENGLISH 102A: The Material Book

When was the form of the book invented? Why has it proven the most significant and long-lived of all text technologies?

We shall focus on pairs of medieval manuscripts and contemporary artists' books to investigate the book's meaning, learning also how to produce simple handmade books in a series of creative workshops.

ENGLISH 115B: Late Shakespeare: Genre, Style, Authorship

Shakespearean scholarship regularly observes a marked shift of interest in Shakespeare's late plays. Can we speak of "late Shakespeare," and how might that be useful in our understanding of plays such as The WInter's Tale or The Tempest? Can Coriolanus be considered a "late" play, and what do we make of Shakespeare's collaboration with John Fletcher on Henry VIII, The Two Noble Kinsmen, and possibly Cardenio? Our study of Shakespeare"s late plays will be guided by considerations of changing tastes, theatrical conditions, and authorial sensibility.
