課程概述 |
This course explores the importance of the Bible for an understanding of Shakespeare’s plays.
Students will become acquainted with Reformation Bibles, including the most popular and widely
circulated Bible of the late sixteenth century, the Geneva Bible, in order to appreciate the cultural
context in which Shakespeare was writing and to understand Shakespeare’s own manipulation of
biblical text for a wide variety of purposes.

參考書目 |
A course pack of essential materials will be provided for this course. You should use the Norton
Shakespeare (Greenblatt, Stephen. Ed. The Norton Shakespeare : Based on the Oxford edition. New
York and London: WW Norton & Company, 1997) for class to facilitate discussion of all of the
plays and to enable you to annotate your text. You should use Arden Shakespeare editions of the
plays on which you will focus your term paper because these have useful scholarly footnotes and
bibliographies. Electronic versions of the biblical texts will be read from Early English Books
On-line.
