WiSe 15/16: HS-Literature and Media: Early Modern History Plays
Stephan Laqué
Kommentar
A minimal definition might hold that early modern history plays are plays about events in (relatively recent) early modern history. But tapping into the genres of both tragedy and comedy, these plays offer 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 along with Marlowe's roughly contemporaneous in terms of genre and of the close interrelation between the theatre and history. Please purchase Cristopher Marlowe's Edward II and William Shakespeare's Richard II, Henry IV (1+2), Henry V and Richard III either as individual editions (preferably from the Arden Shakespeare Series) or the Norton Shakespeare: Histories (ed. Stephen Greenblatt). Please read Richard IIbefore the start of the semester. Schließen
