Hugh M. Richmond deposited Personal Identity and Literary Personae: A Study in Historical Psychology in the group
LLC Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months agoThis comparative study in the evolution of subjectivity in European literature during the Renaissance ascribes it to the impact of the Reformation on the public representation of authorial identity, differing from Stephen Greenblatt’s later application of Foucault to six Tudor authors.

Hugh M. Richmond deposited Enjoying "King Lear" in the group
LLC Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months ago“King Lear,” like all great tragedies, is surely designed to entertain and illuminate, not to depress an audience – as too many interpretations argue. Lear abdicates to ensure the future of Cordelia, from excessive love of virtue and justice, the violation of which initially drives him mad – with rage – but he progressively goes sane, learning t…[Read more]

Alan Lopez deposited “Trespass and Forgiveness in William Shakespeare’s King Lear” in the group
Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years, 5 months agoThis article reads the problem of trespass within William Shakespeare’s King Lear. I draw upon eighteenth-century jurist William Blackstone’s notion of trespass, sixteenth-century jurist Jean Bodin’s notion of sovereignty, in order to understand the question of property rights that emerges in Lear’s abdication of his sovereignty.

Literature of the English Renaissance, Excluding Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 4 months agoThe Robt Greene topic reminds me. Renn. scholars in the U.S. should be aware of work in Britain which has changed/supplemented knowledge of earlier drama. Greg Walker’s work is a good key to the whole and and his history re-names the “morality” play as part of Tudor Drama in his book of that name, his anthology, and bibliography. Rece…[Read more]

I’m starting a project looking into the theater scene of London pre-1592, using Robert Greene and his “Conny Catching” pamphlets as my entry point. My hope is to gain a better understanding of the social environment at that time through the different contributors of the “pamphlet wars”, of which Greene seems to be at the center. The…[Read more]

Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoI personally love the idea of Shakespeare and Galileo. Your intuition seems exactly right to see a parallel in the cultural (mental) achievement of the two. For both, the essence was personal observation rather than illustration of pious dogma, such as we think of when we think of medieval thought. But Shakespeare confined himself to the s…[Read more]
