This course investigates in detail a classic of colonial literature, William Shakespreare's tragedy Othello, before turning to a range of postcolonial literary (re)visions of Shakespeare's play.
Please note that this is a reading-intense course; I advise that you begin reading Shakespeare and the novels before the beginning of term.
Please also note that this course deals with literature which contains drastic and emotionally challenging depictions of violence and suffereing, including racialised violence, sexualised violence, and represenations of the Jewish holocaust.
