Shakespeare and Marlowe: Late Elizabethan Drama

Course 6 on late Elizabethan drama is in its 3rd week. We are about to look at Art and Nature in The Tempest. Next week we will not meet, but when we meet on 11th March we will be starting 2 weeks of Marlowe's Dr. Faustus. When this course finishes I shall be reprising the very first course on Anglo-Saxon as a number of people have joined the Thursday afternoon group since it first started.
