ENG 144 - Mona Lisas and Madhatters: The Art of Comedy

This course introduces students to the genre of comedy in the Western tradition, from its ancient origins in Greek culture to the 21st century.  While dramatic comedy is emphasized, consideration also will be given to its manifestations in fiction and other media.  Authors read may include Aristophanes, Plautus, Terence, Shakespeare, Jonson, Congreve, Sheridan, Wilde, Synge, and Stoppard.

As a complement to departmental offerings in other genres (tragedy, romance, epic, short story, and gothic), for English majors, this course satisfies the C-2 requirement.
