Fall 2018
English 4231: Chekhov and Company
Instructor: Dr. Karen Bamford
T/Th. 2:30-3:50
This intensive upper-level course examines the dramatic work of the great Russian playwright Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), and its profound influence on the twentieth-century stage. We begin with a study of Chekhov's four major plays-- The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard -and then read a variety of international scripts that respond to or adapt Chekhov's. Authors studied include G.B. Shaw (1856-1950) and Brian Friel (1929-2015); as well as London-based Tom Stoppard (b. 1937) and Timberlake Wertenbaker (b.1956).
Previous courses in dramatic literature are an asset, but not necessary.
Students need primarily a willingness to read, think and talk about the texts.
