Course description
This course will consider the development of drama from the scripted Medieval plays, through the Elizabethan and Spanish Golden Ages, to neoclassicism and the Sturm and Drang movement. The course covers examples of theatre from Portugal, England, Spain, France, and Germany, and is particularly interested in the role of witchcraft, magic, and the supernatural in the historical European theatrical tradition (1500-1800).
