| Description: | THE 212-01/01F = ENG 310-01/01F: The Revolutionary Stage NOTE: This class was formerly called "History and Literature of the Theatre II: The French Renaissance to the Rise of Realism" This class will delve into the history of the theatre and its various dramatic literatures in Europe between the years 1660-1900. The course ranges from the witty banterings of Molière and Behn to the realism of Ibsen and Strindberg to the apocalyptic trance of Alfred Jarry. We will discuss the "new woman," the rise of industrialism and cosmopolitanism, and a society shifting under the influence and pressure of the purveyors of new modes of thought-Hegel, Darwin, Nietzsche, Zola. This is a class about the coming of the "new," revolution and counterrevolution, the calms and the storms. The plays in this course will be discussed as instruments for theatrical production; as examples of dramatic structure, style, and genre; and, most importantly, as they reflect the moral, social, and political issues of their time. This course is appropriate for freshmen. Prerequisite: None Credits: 1 Instructor: James Cherry |
