This seminar focuses on the ways in which William Shakespeare’s poems and plays represent time. More specifically, we will discuss how works from different stages of Shakespeare’s career construct various temporalities and how the latter are related to the narratives of progress and periodization. A few sessions devoted to theories of temporalities, on the one hand, and the recent debates about temporalities and periodization in early modern literary studies, on the other, will be followed by discussions of individual poems and plays, including Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, Richard II, Love's Labour’s Lost, King Lear, and The Tempest. |
