초록

This paper aims to examine how Shakespeare describes the history of England in his English history plays. Like his contemporary dramatists, Shakespeare’s writing about England was influenced by the social and political concerns of his age, and bound up with the anxiety about the war with Spain and the controversy over the royal succession during the last years of Elizabeth I. There have been various opinions about whether Shakespeare demonstrates the validity of the Tudor dynasty. Because it seems that Shakespeare takes an ambiguous position, it is not certain that Shakespeare supports the validity of the Tudor dynasty. However, it is indisputable that his history plays include the intention to prevent the failure of politics. Because history was popular subject in the early modern England, the description of history was generally subject to official scrutiny. Particularly, history plays depict the matters with regard to kings, which made the government control the contents of history plays. Readers and spectators in Renaissance England intended to regard history plays as reflecting the present issues such as the succession to the queen and the circumstances at the moment. Apart from the problem about whether Shakespeare had the intention to represent Renaissance England in his history play, it is more important to understand the various voices in the play.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine how Shakespeare describes the history of England in his English history plays. Like his contemporary dramatists, Shakespeare’s writing about England was influenced by the social and political concerns of his age, and bound up with the anxiety about the war with Spain and the controversy over the royal succession during the last years of Elizabeth I. There have been various opinions about whether Shakespeare demonstrates the validity of the Tudor dynasty. Because it seems that Shakespeare takes an ambiguous position, it is not certain that Shakespeare supports the validity of the Tudor dynasty. However, it is indisputable that his history plays include the intention to prevent the failure of politics. Because history was popular subject in the early modern England, the description of history was generally subject to official scrutiny. Particularly, history plays depict the matters with regard to kings, which made the government control the contents of history plays. Readers and spectators in Renaissance England intended to regard history plays as reflecting the present issues such as the succession to the queen and the circumstances at the moment. Apart from the problem about whether Shakespeare had the intention to represent Renaissance England in his history play, it is more important to understand the various voices in the play.
