Shakespeare in his Time
Reading List, 2019
Course convenor: Dr. Chris Stamatakis, c.stamatakis@ucl.ac.uk
The purpose of this course is to build on your undergraduate study of Shakespeare by developing
your knowledge of his works in relation to the contexts of his time. Each seminar will consider a work or
works by Shakespeare in relation to an aspect of historical context, which might include: related works by
his contemporaries; authorial collaboration; literary sources and traditions; political, religious, social,
intellectual, or cultural developments; early textual history; or early modern performance practices. Your
coursework essay should also discuss a work or works by Shakespeare in relation to some aspect of his
time.
In preparation for the course you should read as wide a selection as possible from Shakespeare’s
plays and poems. You may wish to buy a copy of the Complete Works, or you may already own one from
your undergraduate days. The department recommends the Riverside Complete Shakespeare, the Arden
Shakespeare Complete Works, the Oxford Complete Shakespeare, or the Norton Shakespeare. UCL
Library has good holdings both of these and of single-play editions.
You should also make use of the reading list below. It begins with a general section (pp. 1-3),
which you should use for selective browsing according to your interests, and to support your essay
work. After this (pp. 3-8) you will find lists of preparatory reading for each seminar. For queries
about these individual reading lists, please contact the tutor whose name is shown against the
seminar title.
Please note that for each seminar you must read in advance the specified literary work(s) by
Shakespeare or his contemporaries. In each case we recommend a particular edition whose
Introduction and notes will be particularly useful to you, so do make use of these as well as reading
the text of the work. Sometimes required critical reading is also indicated; this too must be done in
advance of the seminar. Shortly before each seminar the tutor may contact you with more detailed
preparation instructions. You are also encouraged to browse in the list of suggested reading for each
seminar, especially if you plan to write an essay on the topic concerned.
