Shakespeare: 'Richard II' and the idea of kingship (Thursday 2 - 4pm)Info Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionPlease note that the ‘last booking’ date is only a guide. Courses may close earlier. In order to avoid disappointment, please be sure to enrol as soon as possible. Registrations may not be processed until the following day if received after 3pm. Shakespeare’s Richard II is the first work in the Henriad tetralogy, followed by Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, and Henry V. The play charts the fall of Richard and the rise of Henry Bolingbroke - Henry IV. This course will examine how both characters discuss, express and act on their interpretations of kingship and the notion of the Divine Rite of Kings and how Shakespeare situates his characters both in their historic moment but also very much amidst the political upheavals of late Elizabethan England. We will also consider briefly how Shakespeare explores these themes in the Henry plays.
