| Inhalt | In this course we will focus on the figure of Falstaff in Shakespeares "1 Henry IV", "2 Henry IV" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor"; we will furthermore investigate the origins of the character, reading some of the source texts in vol. 4 of Geoffrey Bulloughs "Narrative and Dramatic Sources of Shakespeare", and we will study Falstaffs reception as documented in preromantic, romantic and modern criticism (including feminist criticism) and in the theatre, the opera and on the small screen. Among the many theatrical, literary and social functions of Falstaff we will pay special attention to those of the educator, particularly of the linguistic educator, and of the scapegoat. |
