Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course provides a historical survey of the Tudor and Stuart reigns and looks at the roles played by religion, the voyages of discovery and the cult of Queen Elizabeth. A brief outline of the Elizabethan world picture as presented by Tillyard will be the starting point for dealing with New Historicism. The discussion of the literature includes the four major genres, starting with 16th century prose fiction and the epic. Poetry will mainly be discussed in terms of the development and analysis of the sonnet, but will also include poems by the Metaphysical Poets. The development of drama will be traced from its medieval origins to the closing of the theatres by the Puritans with a focus on plays by Marlowe and Shakespeare. Playhouses, performing conditions, acting companies and audiences in Elizabethan and Jacobean London will also be looked at in this context.
Aims: knowledge of the literature and culture in early modern England, familiarity with Renaissance literary genres and early modern English, with Shakespearean drama and the early modern stage, with New Historicism
Methods: lecture, eLearning, audio-presentation of poems, film clips, exemplary analysis of individual texts
