The aim of this course is to give you the analytical tools to analyse and interpret literary texts in the genres of drama (Henry V) and verse (narrative poetry, e.g. Beowulf; and lyrical poetry, e.g. sonnets). As you see, our primary material will be mainly early modern (a.k.a. Elizabethan/Jacobean, a.k.a. Shakespearean.
Our discussions will be based on what you learnt or are currently learning in the Analysing lectures, so connections between all three BM2 courses will be made.
William Shakespeare, King Henry V. 1599.
Please read the play in a critical annotated edition from the New Cambridge Shakespeare, Oxford or Arden. (If you edition has a named editor and an introduction on the play, it's probably ok.)
No German translations, no school editions, no crappy online editions, please. If you MUST use an online version, use the Folger Shakespeare Library pdf version.
