The course aims at enabling students to get acquainted with an anthology of English
Revenge Drama, to provide students with the tools for literary analysis and critical
interpretation, to expand students’ horizons and knowledge by exposing them to both
traditional and modern critical theories. The course aims at exploring the historical,
aesthetic and dramatic patterns of Elizabethan drama versus Jacobean drama.
Gender and language
The course will familiarize the students with the history of language and gender
scholarship through its four major theoretical models: (a) women’s deficiency, (b)
patriarchy or male-dominance, (c) gender differences, and (d) gender diversity. While
reading different articles in the textbook, which represents schools of the diversity
model, attention will be paid to its critique of its predecessors and to its self-critique.
