An essay plan on Shakespeare’s history play, Richard ii, written by a second-year undergraduate at Durham University.
It answers the question:
‘The history play of the 1590s was not a totalitarian, hegemonic genre … but a new and experimental form within which individual playwrights might articulate a range of ideas, radical as well as conservative, about men and women and their place in public life.’ (Martha Kurtz)
Discuss with regard to any of Shakespeare’s English history plays.
The plan discusses the genre of the history play, analysing the language, symbolism and metaphors within Richard ii. The context of Elizabethan/Jacobean England, Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, is embedded into the plan.
Can be used for university or A-level.
