In this course, we shall study three of Shakespeare's so-called History Plays in some depth: Richard III, Richard II, and Henry V. Participants must possess all three plays in annotated, critical print versions. Recommended affordable editions: a) The Norton Shakespeare (one-volume paperback edition of the complete works), b) editions of individual plays in the Arden Shakespeare series or the Oxford Shakespeare series. It is advisable to have read the plays before the beginning of term, as there will be further requirements once the seminar gets under way. |
