Unit(s): 4

This course will introduce students to the basic elements of classical dramatic literature and the various forms of drama that have evolved from Ancient Greek theater to the seventeenth century. Although this is primarily a literature course designed to introduce students to a broad range of classic texts, there will also be a strong emphasis on understanding the chosen texts in the context of performance, and in their historical and cultural settings.
