Cilj je kolegija polaznicima omogućiti pobliže upoznavanje s odabranim tekstovima Shakespeareova književnog korpusa u oslonu na suvremene teorijsko-metodološke perspektive. Budući da je riječ o velikom književnom kanonu Zapadne književnosti, posebna pažnja posvetit će se kulturnim, društveno-političkim i ideologijskim pretpostavkama konstituiranja i uporaba kanona u povijesti i sadašnjosti kako u engleskoj tako i u stranim kulturama.
