  • Christopher Marlowe: Ideology and Subversion1
    Christopher Marlowe: Ideology and Subversion1 ‘In Elizabethan and Jacobean drama ... there is almost no analysis of the particular society of the times’ ... the dramatists ‘believed in their own age... And, accepting their age, they were in a position to concentrate their attention ... upon the common characteristics of humanity in all ages, rather than upon the differences.’2 1. Subversion and Representation To begin from a moment in 1 Tamburlaine when Tamburlaine spectacularly violates an Egyptian and, presumably, an Elizabethan cultural practice or ideological code. A Messenger describes to the Soldan of Egypt the quaint and very theatrical device of Tamburlaine’s white, red, and black tents. The Soldan retorts: Merciless villain, peasant ignorant Of lawful arms or martial discipline! Pillage and murder are his usual trades – The slave usurps the glorious name of war. (1 Tamburlaine, 4.1.64-7)3 His outburst seems to be in excess of the facts until we reflect that, by constituting a new set of martial signals and abrogating to himself the meaning of language (usurping the ‘name of war’), Tamburlaine is in fact re-constituting the state, what the Elizabethans termed the ‘nation’.4 This immodest, audacious upstart is enhancing his absolute military authority over Asia by a process of totalisation, and the Soldan is offering a description not only of sedition but of 1 An early version of this paper was given as a lecture at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge on 12 May 1993 as part of the Corpus Marlowe Celebrations.

    Helen Gush: The World Theatre Season. Internationalism and Innovation. In: Festivals als Innovationsmotor? Hg. v. Alexandra Portmann, Beate Hochholdinger-Reiterer. Berlin: Alexander 2020 (itw : im dialog 4), S. 29–43. 4 Helen Gush (Theatre and Performance Collection, Victoria and Albert Museum London) The World Theatre Season Internationalism and Innovation The end of the Second World War proved a catalyst for the establish- ment of two of Europe’s most significant international theatre festivals, alongside numerous organisations that identified as ›international‹. The Edinburgh International Festival of Music and Drama and the Avignon Festival each launched in 1947, while numerous international theatre institutions emerged over the following two decades.1 The use of the term ›international‹ in this context is indelibly linked to the post-War notion of using culture to bind nations together after the division of conflict, an ideal which was grounded in a humanist belief that artistic expression could transcend difference and appeal to a common humanity. In her history of the Edinburgh Festivals, Angela Bartie suggests that culture was given »new values« (Bartie 2013: 2) in the immediate post-War period. She describes the foundation of the Edinburgh International Festival as »a means of spiritual refresh- ment, a way of reasserting moral values, a rebuilding of relationships between nations, of shoring up European civilisations and of provid- ing ›welfare‹ in its broadest sense« (Bartie 2013: 2). David Bradby and Maria M. Delgado describe the foundation of the international festival in Avignon in similar terms as having »the explicit aim of healing the divisions caused by the Second World War« (Bradby/Delgado 2012: 5).

  • Marlowe's Tamburlaine (1587) and Islamic Theology
    TRAMES, 2012, 16(66/61), 2, 177–201 MARLOWE’S TAMBURLAINE (1587) AND ISLAMIC THEOLOGY Fahd Mohammed Taleb Al-Olaqi King Abdulaziz University Abstract. Marlowe’s Tamburlaine (1589) is a great Elizabethan Oriental play. Marlowe’s reference to the Qur’ān and the Prophet Muhammad is remarkable in two parts of the play. Marlowe calls it the ‘Turkish Alcoran’ to attack the Turkish pride in affronting it. How- ever, to burn the Qur’ān, Marlowe denigrates it, and unfairly falsifies the Prophet Muhammad. Marlowe’s hero Tamburlaine identifies the Qur’ān as an enemy of the Elizabethans. Tamburlaine’s burning of the Qur’ān is a sign of Christian power and victory. The Qur’ānic biblioclasm on London stage was bizarre. The huge flames and vaunting speeches of Tamburlaine show an earthly hell for Muslims in the East with no limits. Tamburlaine asks the Prophet Muhammad to take his revenge just to mock him. The Qur’ān has been frequently and badly misunderstood in Europe. This derogatory treatment betrays Marlowe’s lack of understanding Islam. Though several performances of the play, recently, replace the copies of the Qur’ān by irreligious books, the English Christian Tamburlaine is literarily known as the Qur’ān burner in the English literature. Keywords: Christopher Marlowe, Marlowe’s Tamburlaine (1589), religion, theology, Qur’ān, Islam DOI: 10.3176/tr.2012.2.05 1. Introduction The Qur’ān is the first and most authentic source of Islam. As a book, it is arranged in 114 Suras or chapters. Every chapter is divided into rhymed prose verses in Arabic.

  • Ambassador Shakespeare: the Bard As Cultural Bridge Donna Woodford-Gormley New Mexico Highlands University Elena Bandín Univers
    Ambassador Shakespeare: The Bard as Cultural Bridge Donna Woodford-Gormley New Mexico Highlands University Elena Bandín University of León (Spain) “The Royal Shakespeare Company as a cultural bridge: European tours calling at Madrid (1984) and Barcelona (1989)” Touring has being a highly effective means of reaching large number of audiences for the Royal Shakespeare Company (Adler 2001). Small-scale tours, regional tours, European tours, American tours and large-scale international tours have been part of the common activities of the company since its inception. Besides, the RSC can be considered as Shakespeare ambassador since their touring productions have served as cultural bridges in certain historical and political contexts. Whereas the American tours have been generally aimed at achieving commercial benefits, European tours have had a more cultural aim in mind. The RSC owned prestigious cultural products endorsed by international acclaim that wanted to export to continental Europe. My research is framed in a project devoted to chart Shakespeare’s entrance into Spanish culture through the channels of criticism and scholarship, translation, performance, adaptation and biography within the context of his immense and ongoing impact in Europe. Thus, the aim of this work is to explore the reception of the RSC productions in Europe and, particularly, in Spain in order to analyse the influence of these productions in the making up of the Shakespeare’s European canon. I will focus on two RSC’s productions included in the European tours due to their demonstrable excellence: Much Ado About Nothing directed by Terry Hands in 1982 calling at Paris, Berlin, Viena, Praga, Munich and Hamburg in 1984 and Titus Andronicus directed by Deborah Warner premiered at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1987 and touring to Madrid, Paris, Copenhagen and Aarhus in 1989.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521834589 - Othello Edited by Julie Hankey Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION Over the last twenty years or so, Othello has leapt into focus as a play for our times. Its story of ‘us and them’ (or rather ‘him’), of brute racism and misogyny, of miscegenation, sexual anxiety and domestic violence – all this seems, with uncanny prescience, to speak directly to us now. At certain moments and places and with certain actors (e.g. in 1943 in the USA with Robeson; in apartheid South Africa with John Kani) the racism within the play has resonated so loudly with the racism outside, that the fit between the seventeenth and the twentieth centuries has seemed complete. ‘Well, I ask you’, wrote Janet Suzman, who directed John Kani, ‘is there a subject on earth which Shakespeare hasn’t thought of first? It is as if he is toying with the theory of apartheid four hundred years before the policy was cooked up.’1 It is often maintained in this way that Shakespeare overturns the racist stereotypes of his day. It is pointed out that the stage Moors that preceded Othello2 would have led audiences to expect a lecherous, crafty,cruel, venge- ful braggart; that the opening ribaldry of Iago and Roderigo plays to these expectations, and that Othello undercuts them as soon as he appears.3 Weare reminded that the play’s ‘demi-devil’ is not the black Othello, but the white Iago. Writing in 1987, the same year as Suzman’s production, the South African critic Martin Orkin was convinced that it was precisely because of this that the play was never taught in South African high schools – that Shakespeare was being censored as an anti-racist before his time.4 But on second thoughts, other resonances jangle.

  • Canonising the Shakespeare Apocrypha: Shakespeare, Middleton and Co-Existent Canons
    Canonising the Shakespeare Apocrypha: Shakespeare, Middleton and Co-Existent Canons Abstract The Shakespeare Apocrypha has persisted as a category for plays of dubious authorship since 1908. Despite recent calls for this group to be dissolved, it persists as the “other” of the Shakespeare canon. The definition of the plays as a collectively excluded canon leads to their relative obscurity in print and on stage. Yet recent calls for the adoption of different kinds of dramatic canon present a means of reintegrating canon and apocrypha. The new Middleton Collected Works offers a model for “co-existent canons” which share plays and disperse the authority of fixed authorial canons, allowing the plays of the Shakespeare Apocrypha to be read and seen in new, productive contexts. Canonising the Shakespeare Apocrypha: Shakespeare, Middleton and Co-Existent Canons In 2010, director Terry Hands produced a new production — his third— of the anonymous drama Arden of Faversham for Theatr Clwyd Cymru. The programme, white with the theatre’s logo, boldly and simply stated “Arden of Faversham. By Anonymous” (title page). In 2011, a herald in Roland Emmerich’s motion picture Anonymous repeated the latter words. As the elderly Queen Elizabeth (Vanessa Redgrave) is presented with a gift of a play, she asks who the writer may be. The Herald tentatively says “By Anonymous”. Elizabeth pauses momentarily, puzzled, then leans back with a knowing smile. “Anonymous. I do so admire his verse”. In Emmerich’s film, an anti-Stratfordian (or, as Paul Edmondson and Stanley Wells would now have us put it, “anti-Shakespearian”, 32) historical fantasy that has been the occasion and focus of widespread discussion of Shakespearean authorship, “Anonymous” functions as a pseudonym for Edward de Vere, seventeenth Earl of Oxford.
