WiSe 15/16: MÜ-Literature and Media: Making Theatre in Early Modern London and Madrid
David Jefferson Amelang López
Kommentar
Comparing the drama of early modern England and Spain is often limited to strictly textual aspects. What is less frequent is to compare them as products of two very unusual and fascinating theatrical cultures. Using Shakespeare's Hamlet and Calderón de la Barca's Life is a Dream (La vida es sueño) as the frame of discussion, this tutorial aims to illustrate the environment in which early modern English and Spanish plays were produced. With a specific focus on the capitals cities of London and Madrid, we will explore the social, cultural and political aspects that played a crucial role in the development in two of Europe's most emblematic literary cultures. We will be looking at how playwrights and actors lived and worked, what the playhouse neighbourhoods and the buildings themselves were like, what it meant to attend a performance in that period and, most importantly, how all this can change the way we read and understand the plays.
