The Ruling Government of Elizabethan England
Join us as we explore the intricate ways in which Shakespeare's plays engage with the political landscape of his time, examining how his works reflect, critique, and sometimes even subtly align with the rule of Queen Elizabeth I and the broader political climate of Elizabethan England. Through close readings of key plays—such as Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Richard III, and Henry V—the lecture will illuminate Shakespeare's portrayal of power, ambition, loyalty, and tyranny.
