WiSe 17/18: HS-Constr.Difference:Liter.+Cult.Hist.: Shakespeare's History Plays
Stephan Laqué
Comments
Far from being lessons in English history, Shakespeare’s history plays are fascinating metatheatrical and metahistoriographical reflections on the power of theatrical representation as well as on the nature of history, of its constructedness and transmission. This course will examine a selection of Shakespeare’s history plays in terms of genre and of the close interrelation between the theatre and history. We will be looking at plays from the two tetralogies as well as at King John. Please purchase either individual editions of King John, Richard II, Henry IV (1+2), Henry V and Richard III (preferably from the Arden Shakespeare Series), the Norton Shakespeare: Histories or the complete The Norton Shakespeare (ed. Stephen Greenblatt). Please read Richard II before the start of the semester.
