School
School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures
Summary
Some of the greatest Elizabethan and Jacobean tragedies revolve around
conflicts between love and duty, accepted forms of sexuality versus
transgressive ones, and between jealousy and trust. The writers of the
period created a number of superb tragedies focusing on the unruly
passion of love: we will study Marlowe¿s Edward II (c.1592);
Shakespeare¿s Romeo and Juliet (c.1596), Othello (1602-4), and Anthony
and Cleopatra (1606-7). We will conclude with one of the finest
Jacobean tragedies on this theme, Middleton¿s The Changeling (1622).
