Overview
What you will learn
The aims of the Shakespeare and the interpretation of history course offered by University of Cambridge are:
- To introduce students to critical study of two of Shakespeare's most important history plays, Richard II and Henry V, in both of which the interpretation of historical events is a central concern.
- To show students how these dramas have played a role in the interpretation of English history, both in Shakespeare's day and in our own.
- To enable students to assess the merits of some established critical views of the plays, and to engage critically with modern productions (including readily available film versions)
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Richard II and the politics of English history (Richard II, Act One)
- Richard II and the Renaissance monarch (Richard II, Acts Two and Three)
- Richard II as political dynamite — royal anger and state censorship (Richard II, Acts Four and Five)
- Henry V — nationalist propaganda, subversive critique, or something in between?
- Shakespearean history still open to interpretation
