Description
In two of Shakespeares best-known comedies, As You Like It and A Midsummer Nights Dream, characters spend much of their time in a forest -- lost, disguised, exiled, in love, terrified, or enchanted. Forest landscape can be a place of fear and chaos, mirroring inner mental landscapes -- or places of liberating transgression, where anything can happen. This course will explore both the magical and the menacing aspects of Shakespeare explorations of pastoral in these two plays.
