Writing the Tragic Self: Richard II's Sad Stories

Article | অংশগ্রহণকারী(রা): Paul Budra

When Shakespeare has Richard II call for the telling of "sad stories" he is not merely alluding to a tradition of medieval de casibus tragedy, but rather engaging with a well-known vision of historical teleology, popularized in Shakespeare's time by narrative historical tragedies. Shakespeare's...

Hamlet hears Marlowe; Shakespeare reads Virgil

Article | অংশগ্রহণকারী(রা): James Black

The excerpt from Aeneas' tale to Dido which Hamlet elicits from the Player is based in part on Marlowe's Dido Queen of Carthage.

Article | অংশগ্রহণকারী(রা): Janis Lull

The Sexual Identities of Moll Cutpurse in Dekker and Middleton’s The Roaring Girl and in London

Article | অংশগ্রহণকারী(রা): Susan E. Krantz

Moll Cutpurse dramatically demonstrates the insufficiency of gender categories both in The Roaring Girl and in her life. The fictional Moll’s sex/gender ambiguity is explored through three distinct sexual identities (prostitute, hermaphrodite, bisexual ideal) and is further complicated through...
