Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course is the second in a world theatre history sequence designed to explore the development of dramatic forms and theatre practices from the 5th century B.C.E. to the present. In World Theatre: 1640 to 1890 we will discuss the history of theatre arts 'which includes looking at drama, design, performance traditions and audiences--from the comedies of Restoration England to emerging realism of Buchner, Zola and Ibsen. Framed by questions of documentary interpretation and historical causation, the course will analyze the larger contexts of theatrical events, including social and political history, as well as the development of non-theatrical art forms. In addition, we will discuss some contemporary scholarship examining these theatrical events.
