Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course starts with a brief survey of the historical and cultural contexts of Renaissance English literature, followed by the discussion of the four major genres of prose fiction, epic, poetry, and drama. The latter's development will be traced from its medieval origins to the closing of the theatres in 1642, with a focus on plays by Shakespeare. Playhouses, performing conditions, acting companies and audiences in Elizabethan and Jacobean London will also be looked at in this context.
At the end of the course, students will be familiar with Renaissance literary genres and will be able to analyse early modern literary texts.
Methods: lecture, audio-presentation of poems, film clips, interactive analysis of individual texts
