Description

Critical Approaches to Shakespere: Shakespeare for All Time  is the textbook for the subject Recepción Crítica del Teatro de Shakespeare (Grado en Estudios Ingleses, UNED). It is mainly addressed to those students who are interested in the works of William Shakespeare and in Literary Theory applied to Shakespearean Studies. It offers, first, an overview of the main critical approaches to Shakespeare’s work from the seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth century, and, secondly, a detailed analysis of two of the playwright’s most important tragedies: Hamlet and Macbeth.

 Unit 1 presents critical approaches to Shakespeare from the seventeenth century to the first half of the twentieth century. Unit 2 focuses on Shakespearean critical studies of the second half of the twentieth century. Both units deal with the principal critical lines of study of Shakespeare’s literary production. The student is provided with a panorama of the evolution of critical ideas about Shakespeare’s works throughout history. After describing the main tenets of each critical school and their main representatives, a section called Selection of Texts is included. This section presents critical fragments about some key Shakespearean plays, and ocassionally a sonnet, written by the most influential critics of each theoretical approach. It presents a selection of the most important critical concepts of each fragment and their application to Shakespeare’s production. 

Units 3 and 4 concentrate on exhaustive studies of Hamlet and Macbeth respectively. Both units are divided into three sections. The first one deals with the historical and literary contexts of the plays and it focuses mainly on the dates of the plays’ composition and their sources. The second section explores the most important critical ideas about each play from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. The third section, entitled Analysis of the Play, offers a close reading of the plays by paying especial attention to the way language is used by Shakespeare.

Marta Cerezo Moreno is lecturer of English at the Departamento de Filologías Extranjeras y sus Lingüísticas (UNED). Her main research area of study is English Medieval and Renaissance Literature, and also aging and disability studies in English contemporary narrative.
