This course is about learning how not to be afraid of Shakespeare, or at least learning to be afraid of him in the right way. Everyone claims to know William Shakespeare, and every student knows that Shakespeare is 'difficult'. Exactly how his work is difficult raises a more interesting set of questions and issues. This seminar is about the many fascinating difficulties involved in actually reading Shakespeare: his plots, his characters, his scenes, his speeches, his lines, his words. It is about the sometimes disorienting gulf between how Shakespeare is represented to us in modern culture - as an incomparable and enduring genius with whom almost everybody seems familiar - and the experience of actually studying his works - which involves quite a lot that is unfamiliar, challenging, puzzling, and sometimes frustrating. Instead of ignoring or bypassing 'the difficult bits', students will start reading and interpreting Shakespeare's work where it is most exciting, obscure, challenging and strange. We will consider the possibility that Shakespeare was not always successful and that sometimes he failed (but failed better than anyone else). This course is an introduction to the marvellous and infinite complexity of Shakespeare's dramatic language, with a sustained emphasis on his ability to expand and manipulate English expression.
The seminar is organized around two pairs of plays, produced during Shakespeare's artistic maturity, which speak to one another. In the first part of the semester, we will study Henry V (c.1599) and then Troilus and Cressida (c.1602), exploring particular scenes from each, and comparing the relation between theatre, history, and truth that each seems to construct. In the second part of the course, we will read King Lear (c.1605) and then The Winter's Tale (c.1610), with a particular focus on problems of genre and theatrical space, and the relation of these to language. We will also take time to examine a small selection of Shakespeare's lyric poetry. Sessions will be structured around particular scenes from a given play: the dramatic scene will be the basic unit of study.
