Scheinerwerb: Referat + Hausarbeit - Contents
- This course looks at representations of monarchs and monarchies in some of Shakespeare’s best-known plays. We will study prominent historical and political readings of the plays, and of Shakespeare’s presumed politics (did the author (have to) serve Tudor interests – or was he perhaps a Republican?) We will also consider Shakespeare’s use of royal spectacles, such as masques or pageantry, in which monarchs are allegorised in ways that imply intellect, control or power (Stephen Orgel) – and those moments in the plays when royal power comes to an end. The plays we will study in detail are Cymbeline, Richard II, King Lear and Henry V. Other plays will be discussed in passing.
