University offers 'bad Shakespeare' course
A Tennessee University is teaching a course in "bad Shakespeare".
The English literature department at Rhodes College will look at works like Titus Andronicus because it has "a confusing plot and gratuitous violence".
The course is intended to help students question how they define what is good and what is bad in literature.
Cynthia Marshall, chair of Rhodes' English department, said Titus Andronicus has a confusing plot and gratuitous violence.
She added: "TS Eliot said it was one of the stupidest and most uninspired plays ever written."
