230570 Shakespeare's Late Plays (S) (WiSe 2009/2010)

Contents, comment

The main objectives of the course are

  • firstly, to learn to read and understand Shakespeare's plays as dramatic poems (blank verse, imagery, ...) and as scripts for performance (staging, stage directions, stage business, ...).
  • secondly, to learn to appreciate the strange, dark world of Shakespearean tragi-comedy as illustrated in Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest (all variously dated 1609-12).

Bibliography

Any annotated critical edition is fine, that is: New Cambridge Shakespeare, Oxford Shakespeare, New Arden Shakespeare, Penguin Shakespeare.
(You will be neither able nor allowed to take part in this course with an ill-edited internet download, a school edition or Oxford World Classics!! Also avoid editions of The Collected Plays because they are very difficult to read on account of their small print and flimsy pages.)
Buy the plays 2nd-hand on amazon.de if you want to save money.
