- Inhalte/Contents
William Shakespeare did not write his plays in isolation. He was one of several extraordinarily talented and innovative playwrights working in the 1590s, 1600s, and 1610s. Their plays drew on older traditions, and would in turn give rise to drama in the decades to come that is also accomplished on its own terms. Indeed, although Shakespeare’s artistic merits did not go unnoticed at the time, other writers had a comparable reputation in his lifetime, and many of their works have entered alongside Shakespeare’s into the canons of English dramatic literature. In the eighteenth century, acclaim for Shakespeare reached such heights that his works became the gold standard of literary judgment: since then, study of his rivals has struggled to free itself from comparisons with Shakespeare. Some of these writers – including Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and Thomas Middleton - are important enough in their own right to have survived the comparison almost entirely; while others – such as Thomas Kyd, John Fletcher, John Webster, John Ford, to name just a few of the most well-known – produced plays that made unique and enduring contributions to English literature. ‘Shakespeare’s Rivals’ will take students on a brief tour of non-Shakespearean drama, taking a snapshot of dramatic art in England during the most extraordinary century in its history. We will discover how plays shed light on the culture, history and society of that time; and probe the problem of literary value and endurance.
The plays on which we will concentrate, and the editions from which we will work, are listed below. Please note that this list is provisional - it may change over the course of the semester, or prior to it.
Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus: the A- and B- texts (1604, 1616), edited by David Bevington and Eric Rasmussen (Manchester, 1993 & 2016)
Ben Jonson, Volpone (c.1606)
John Webster, The Duchess of Malfi (c.1612)
Thomas Middleton and William Rowley, The Changeling (c.1622)
