This course investigates Shakespeare’s lifelong engagement with the literature, politics, and culture of ancient Rome. It will give careful attention to the three "Roman Plays" - *Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra,* and *Coriolanus* - but will also consider the larger role of classical antiquity in Shakespeare’s development and achievement as a dramatist.
