« Un néant follement attifé » : macabre et grotesque dans Mesure pour Mesure by Sophie Chiari

“…In an anamorphic play such as Measure for Measure, the grotesque is endowed with a strong satirical power, and its close relation to the macabre makes it even stronger. Shakespeare actually depicts a dramatic vanitas and places the morbid at the heart of Vienna, regarded as a world marked by confinement and instability. …”

The Hybridity of Popular Culture in The Winter’s Tale by François Laroque

“…In his foreword to The Faithful Shepherdess (1609), John Fletcher blames the crass popular tastes of his theatre audiences for failing to respond properly to the new genre of tragicomedy. Shakespeare was careful to make no such mistake. In The Winter’s Tale, he makes Perdita “the queen of curds and cream” (4.4.161). …”

MIHI QUAESTIO FACTUS SUM (“I HAVE BECOME A QUESTION TO MYSELF”, AUGUSTINE: CONFESSIONS X. XXXIII): by F. England

“…A reflection upon Lambert Zuidervaart’s (2017) recent “critical retrieval of truth” prompts invoking Shakespeare’s Lear to intimate that, at least within theology, oracular and peremptory pronouncements upon the conclusive and objective intention and telos of being human and of the created order, may themselves undermine the essential vocation of Christian theology. …”

Polariser l'écart : la mise en scène du décalage dans Fram de Tony Harrison by Catherine Lanone

“…Polar opposites: discrepancy in Tony Harrison's Fram: Proud of his origins, Tony Harrison blends in his work the memory of his working-class background and of the vast literary tradition he descends from, from Greek tragedy to Shakespeare or Keats. Best known as a poet, Tony Harrison is also a translator and playwright; his 2008 play Fram was badly received by critics, perhaps because it plays on key structural discrepancy, embedding as it does the story of Nansen, the polar explorer (with the eponymous boat he designed, Fram) within the frame of a play written by the ghost of the late academic Gilbert Murray. …”

Desdemona’s changing voices: from the “Willow Song” to the “Canzona del Salice” by Chantal Schütz

In the Eyes of the Beholder: Towards Depicting the Dog in the Nineteenth Century by Beryl Gray

“…In this paper I expand my work in The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination to argue that the empathetic depiction of dogs that established itself in literature and painting in the late eighteenth century, and continued to develop, represented less a new departure in cultural perceptions of the dog than a return to those that had subsisted before the appearance in England in 1576 of the mechanically-printed, mass-produced and many times reissued Geneva Bible, the Bible Shakespeare read. As the Victorian biblical scholar H. …”
