EN 634 Crime and Deviance in Renaissance England


This graduate-level seminar uses both prose and dramatic literature and critical responses to these texts to explore how Early Modern English society maintained and disseminated standards of conduct and behavior. Students read closely to unpack the role that these texts, as well as theater and literature in general, played in this process. They pay close attention to three different forms of crime or social deviance: roguery, cross-dressing and witchcraft.
