Come by the LAH office to pick up your book before you head home for the holidays.

If you are interested in signing up for any LAH lower-division honors classes, please come by the LAH office 2.104 to sign up. We have a great selection of honors classes (listed below).

Remember for upper-division LAH 350 classes you don’t need to sign up. Just register when your registration time comes around! NOTE: If you are a dual degree student (i.e. Fine Arts & Liberal Arts, Communication & Liberal Arts etc..) YOU MUST CONTACT STACEY OR LINDA DURING YOUR REGISTRATION TIME TO BE ADDED IN YOUR DESIRED LAH 350 class. If the class is cross-listed (LAH 350/GOV 379S or LAH 350/HIS) and you are a major in the cross-listed department, you can also register for the class under your major department and it will still apply towards College Honors.  The GOV department reserves their seats for majors.  GOV majors should go to the GOV department to have your seat reserved. This will ensure you get the GOV/LAH class you want.

For $5.00, students will attend a seminar lecture by Douglas Bruster, enjoy refreshments, and receive transportation to and from an evening performance of The Spanish Tragedy. You may have already seen this NY Times article, which was the inspiration for this particular event. Here are the full details:

The Baron’s Men presents: Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy
The Curtain | Thursday, October 24, 2013

6:00 PM Pre-performance seminar
7:00  PM Departure
8:00 PM Performance

Considered the first “Revenge Tragedy” of the early modern drama period, Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy is a Machiavellian rollercoaster that explores the relationship between justice and revenge.

Our evening will begin with a special pre-performance talk by Douglas Bruster of the department of English. Professor Bruster’s research centers on Shakespeare and early modern drama, with an additional focus on modern playwrights including Mamet and Hare. His recent publication in Notes and Queries provides evidence linking five additional passages from the 1602 quarto of The Spanish Tragedy to William Shakespeare. Bruster’s argument, which hinges on a careful examination of Shakespeare’s handwriting and common misspellings, may provide sufficient evidence to admit the passages into the Shakespearean canon.
