WiSe 24/25: HS-Constr.Difference:Liter.+Cult.Hist.: Strangers in Shakespeare's Plays
Stephan Laqué
Comments
Shakespeare’s plays are carried by characters who stand apart and above the social/urban/courtly/pastoral/etc. frame of a given play; they defy definition and categorisation. Often these characters belong to marginalized groups (women, ethnic and religious minorities, etc), they make themselves strange through their speech and action, and they are made strangers by the other characters in the play and by readers and audiences. This seminar will examine some of these characters in plays from a variety of genres (tragedy, chronical history play, romance). Please purchase editions of Othello, Hamlet, Richard III, The Tempest either as individual editions (preferably from the Arden Shakespeare Series) or a complete edition of Shakespeare’s plays (I recommend The Norton Shakespeare, ed. Stephen Greenblatt). Please read Othello for week two of the semester. close
