EN 486 Drama of Harlem and Irish Renaissance (Spring: 3)
Satisfies Cultural Diversity Core Requirement
This course offers a comparative study of theatrical developments in two
ethnic revival movements of the early twentieth century, the so-called Irish
and Harlem `Renaissances.' Among topics to be discussed will be the intentions
of the playwrights in both movements, their attempts to explore and define
national and racial identities, their problematic relations with their audiences,
and their use of myth, history, and dialect.
