- Inhalt
- The Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars between the Houses of Lancaster and York (both branches of the House of Plantagenet) kept England busy in the middle of the fifteenth century. Nominally the wars started in 1455 when Richard of York captured Henry VI (Lancaster) and conquered the crown for his side of the family. It ended in 1487 with the victory of the later King Henry VII Tudor over the Yorkist Richard III. By this time, the Lancastrian line had no more male heirs and with the victory of Henry Tudor, the dynasty of the Plantagenets officially ended.
While countless literary texts have been produced that retell the wars from any and all imaginable perspectives, a few texts have proven to be perennially popular with readers. William Shakespeare’s Lancaster Tetralogy, including the plays Richard II (c. 1595), Henry IV, Part I (c. 1596), Henry IV, Part II (c. 1596-99) and Henry V (c. 1599), is one such cycle of plays that has significantly influenced the retrospective view of this conflict. Locating the inciting incident of the war in the forced abdication of Richard II in 1399, Shakespeare provides a thrilling and tragic backstory to this late-medieval family feud. This course is only going to look at one of the two Shakespeare tetralogies on the Wars of the Roses and concludes with Henry V’s victory over France at the Battle of Agincourt (1415), highlighting the crucial years before the official start of the war and presenting a dramatic version of the reasons leading up to it.
In this course, we will cover the four plays of the Lancaster Tetralogy and look at the way they present the Lancaster-York conflict that dominated the fifteenth century and ended in the victory of the House of Tudor. We will look at contemporary worldviews, political theories (such as Machiavellianism), the divine right of kings, love, war and usurpation and historiography in drama.
Guest auditors are very welcome. Please register in advance via Kerstin-anja.muenderlein@uni-bamberg.de
- Empfohlene Literatur
- William Shakespeare.
• Richard II (c. 1595)
• Henry IV, Part I (c. 1596)
