VS-Periods - Genres - Concepts: Shakespeare's Histories
Stephan Laqué
Comments
Far from being lessons in English history, Shakespeare’s history plays are fascinating reflections on the power of theatrical representation as well as on the nature of history, as a formidable cultural construct. This course will examine a selection of Shakespeare’s history plays in terms of genre and of the close interrelation between theatre and historiography. Please purchase either individual editions of Richard II, Henry IV (1+2), Henry V and Richard III (preferably from the Arden Shakespeare Series) or the Norton Shakespeare: Histories (or indeed the complete The Norton Shakespeare (ed. Stephen Greenblatt)). Please start reading Richard II before the start of the semester.
