Professor Maus is witty, fun and engaging. Shakespeare was far more interesting with her insights and odd little jokes. It also doesn't hurt that she's actually a contributor to the Norton edition used in class. If you have the chance take this course. Three papers and a final, the best teacher for learning Shakespeare, hands down.

MOST EXCELLENT!!
she is such an expert and really has a grasp on the material - literature and historical background. you're reading from the Norton Anthology...of which she is one of the editors!!!

just take it.

Absolutely loved her! She's very passionate about Shakespeare and clearly knows a lot- her lectures made me think about the plays in ways that I hadn't before. I liked the selection for the first semester and definitely enjoyed the comedies that we ended up reading! It's not a lot of work (3 papers and a final) and you go through a play every 10 days or so.

Prof Maus is an incredible lecturer! I definitely recommend this class, regardless of year/major. Even if you haven't read the plays before class, she makes it interesting - and makes you want to read them. Also, she's really nice and very accessible. I went and talked to her a few times, but only once specifically about the play we were reading. Typically, she tries to organize a class trip to Staunton to see a performance, which is always a lot of fun. We covered 3 histories and 5 comedies. Three papers and a final - nothing unordinary. The only negative was we never found out what the weights were on the four grades + participation.
