230104 Genres, Authors, Periods: Shakespeare (S) (WiSe 2021/2022)

Short comment

Schwerpunkt: British Studies

Contents, comment

Shakespeare’s works have been read and studied for centuries and they have had a pervasive influence on the English language and cultures around the world. In this seminar we will explore the richness of Shakespeare’s writing by focussing on several sonnets as well as the play As You Like It. Studying these exemplary texts, we will engage in close readings (based on the analytical categories from the lecture ‘Analysing and Interpreting British Literary Texts’) and put to practice some theoretical concepts, especially Gender Studies. We shall also explore the cultural, political and historical contexts because enjoyment of Shakespeare’s writing requires an understanding of genre conventions, performance, Elizabethan theatre, theatre companies and audiences.

This class is designed as a presence course, i.e. in person at university - provided that no contact restrictions must be observed. Please note, however, that the first meeting will take place via ZOOM; check the Lernraum+ for updates.

Bibliography
