This course will work as an introduction to Renaissance English literature, by dealing first with poetry (more specifically with the early modern English sonnet), and second with drama, with one of Shakespeare's great tragedies, Macbeth. Students are strongly advised to read a few sonnets (for instance by Sir Philip Sidney and by Samuel Daniel) and the play before the start of term.
