Kommentar/Beschreibung

More than 400 years after his death, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is still the most-produced playwright in theatres around the globe and his works continue to fascinate a wide audience of theatregoers and readers. Apart from around 39 plays, Shakespeare wrote a cycle of 154 sonnets and several longer narrative poems. This seminar focuses on Shakespeare’s dramatic oeuvre and aims to make students familiar with the major themes, genres and socio-historical contexts of Shakespeare’s plays. To this end, we will read examples of each of the three broad genres of plays Shakespeare’s dramatic work has traditionally been divided into, tragedy, comedy and history plays. We will look at these texts both in connection with their genre (what is it that differentiates a comedy from a tragedy? what makes a tragedy tragic? etc.) and in the context of the Early Modern period, specifically its performance practice, politics and gender relations.

Students must obtain their own copies of the plays we will read (to be decided yet, see the “Literaturhinweise” section above for recommended editions). Simplified English editions are NOT permitted.
