Shakespeare's history plays are central to his dramatic
achievement. In recent years they have become more widely studied
than ever, stimulating intensely contested interpretations, due to
their relevance to central contemporary issues such as English,
national identities and gender roles. Interpretations of the
history plays have been transformed since the 1980s by new
theoretically-informed critical approaches. Movements such as New
Historicism and cultural materialism, as well as psychoanalytical
and post-colonial approaches, have swept away the humanist
consensus of the mid-twentieth century with its largely
conservative view of the plays. The last decade has seen an
emergence of feminist and gender-based readings of plays which were
once thought overwhelmingly masculine in their concerns. This book
provides an up-to-date critical anthology representing the best
work from each of the modern theoretical perspectives. The
introduction outlines the changing debate in an area which is now
one of the liveliest in Shakespearean criticism.
Shakespeare's History Plays are central to his dramatic achievement. Often seen as political dramas, they mix heroic, comic, and tragic modes. In recent years they have stimulated intensely contested interpretations because of their treatment of English and national identities and of gender issues. Beginning in the 1980s, New Historicist and cultural materialist readings swept away an earlier humanist consensus. Psychoanalytic readings have been followed by a highly productive recent wave of feminist, gender-based, and post-colonial criticism. R.J.C. Watt provides an up-to-date critical anthology representing the best work from each of these theoretical perspectives. His introduction outlines the changing debate which has now become one of the liveliest areas of Shakespeare criticism.
Final entry in the Indiana Jones trilogy. Indy (Harrison Ford)
comes up against the Nazis once again after they kidnap his father,
fellow archaeologist Dr Henry Jones (Sean Connery). Father and son
are soon putting family tensions to one side in a search for the
Holy Grail, which the Nazis also want in order to achieve eternal
life.
The second entry in the Indiana Jones trilogy is in fact a prequel
to 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. It is 1935, and Indy (Harrison Ford)
is forced to escape from some villains in a Shanghai nightclub with
singer Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) and 12-year-old Short Round (Ke
Huy Quan). They end up in an Indian village, where the adventuring
archaeologist is asked by the locals to retrieve a sacred stone
from a Khali cult.
