Shakespeare and Film H01

This seminar will explore three of Shakespeare鈥檚 works: Henry V, Romeo & Juliet, and Hamlet. We will begin by looking at the play, then various film adaptations. Within the filmic worlds, we will discuss issues such as directorial/authorial intent, costuming, music, interpretations of characters, elements cut from the play, and overall meaning. The various films come from as early as the 1930s and as late as the 2000s, with directors as diverse as Franco Zeffirelli, Baz Luhrmann, Laurence Olivier, Grigori Kozintsev, Akira Kurosawa, and Kenneth Branagh, with music from composers such as Dmitri Shostakovich, William Walton, Patrick Doyle, Leonard Bernstein, and Ennio Morricone. We will conclude the seminar by reading Scott Newstok鈥檚 book How to Think Like Shakespeare, tying together the opening of the Honors First-Year Colloquium (where we read 鈥淲hat is the Purpose of a Liberal Arts Education鈥�) with the conclusion of the Honors Junior/Senior Seminar, bookending your Honors experience.

Law and Literature H02

This course will explore the intersection of literary and legal studies. How does fiction help us understand legal issues with greater insight? Can the study of literature aid us in considering questions of guilt, innocence, punishment, and the social good? In what ways should the law itself be approached as a text? How do various theories of literary interpretation either illuminate or complicate the practice of interpreting the law? In addressing these and other questions, we will read from a variety of literary and legal texts, both ancient and modern. This course fulfills the Junior-Senior Seminar capstone requirement for students completing the University Honors Program.

Following completion of the second unit (covering sonata form), we will meet once a week to discuss movements that contain 鈥減roblems.鈥� These examples will come from the Classical and Romantic eras, and one movement/piece will be assigned each week, excluding the Thanksgiving week. The primary objective of these meetings is to deal with the language used by Caplin in his book and to see how/where his terminology suffers. Additional objectives include discussion of how sonata form evolves/devolves during the nineteenth century, and how the complete form becomes 鈥渓oose-knit,鈥� relative to the 鈥渢ight-knit鈥� Classical era model. As the final project/paper for this class concerns sonata form in the early twentieth century, you will choose a sonata form movement from the nineteenth century to present to your fellow Honors students as the capstone to this course. The presentation will be audio-visual, and certainly enhanced with a handout, as the other students and professor will not want/need to print out up to seventy-five pages of score. These presentations will last approximately 15-20 minutes.
