The course allows students to read and explore an important branch of English literature called “drama.” Drama may be defined as a form of literature intended to be interpreted to an audience by actors who imitate the characters, recite the speeches and perform the action of the story. It is designed in such a way so as to familiarize students first with aspects of dramatic theory and various types of dramatic representations. The Course then proceeds to include an in-depth study on selected literary texts drawn from a wide range of historical epochs, starting from the Elizabethan age to the early 20th. Theoretical approaches are introduced that will enable students to engage critically on the texts, locating them in their political, cultural and historical contexts. Studying English Drama also gives students the freedom to explore their passion for theatre while developing knowledge associated with the study of literature.
