Abstract

In this book Nicholas Grene explores political contexts for some of the outstanding Irish plays from the nineteenth century to the contemporary period. The politics of Irish drama have previously been considered primarily the politics of national self-expression. Here it is argued that Irish plays, in their self-conscious representation of the otherness of Ireland, are outwardly directed towards audiences both at home and abroad. The political dynamics of such relations between plays and audiences is the book's multiple subject: the stage interpretation of Ireland from The Shaughraun to Translations; the contentious stage images of Yeats, Gregory and Synge; reactions to revolution from O'Casey to Behan; the post-colonial worlds of Purgatory and All that Fall; the imagined Irelands of Friel and Murphy, McGuinness and Barry. With its fundamental reconception of the politics of Irish drama, this book represents an alternative view of the phenomenon of Irish drama itself.

Abstract

Available in paperback for the first time, Gareth Griffith's book provides a comprehensive critical account of the political ideas of one of the most influential commentators of the twentieth century.With close reference to a range of Shaw's texts, from the Fabian tracts to the plays, Gareth Griffith draws out the central theoretical messages of Shaw's engagement with politics. The first part of the book provides an intellectual biography, while at the same time analysing Shaw's key concerns in relation to his Fabianism, arguments for equality of income and ideas on democracy and education

Abstract

Shakespeares Bühnenwelt ist zutiefst herrschaftlich geprägt. Wie ein goldenes Band durchzieht all seine Stücke die Gegenwart von Königen, Herzögen, Caesaren, Prinzen und Dogen. Stets bildet eine Herrschaft jenen 'Schicksalsraum menschlicher Tragik', innerhalb dessen sich seine Bühnencharaktere bewegen. Wie aber sah dieses Herrscherbild aus? Welche Elemente bestimmten jene geistige Kulisse, vor der Shakespeare seine Herrscher Gestalt annehmen lassen konnte? Dieser Frage nähert sich die Studie zunächst über eine Betrachtung der zeitgenössischen Herrscherporträtkunst, der Fürstenspiegel- und Höflingsbuchtradition, wie auch anderer, halbdramatischer Darstellungsformen der Zeit. Abgesehen von diesem für den Dramatiker Shakespeare so wertvollen Requisitenschatz ist gerade in England die juristische Fiktion von den 'Zwei Körpern des Königs' von größter Bedeutung für das zeitgenössische Herrscherverständnis. Sie wurde zur zentralen Quelle einer reichhaltigen und vielschichtigen Herrschaftsmetaphorik, die sich in allen Stücken Shakespeares aufspüren läßt und in der sich, wie gezeigt wird, ein zutiefst dualistisch geprägtes Herrscherbild manifestiert. Der Fürst ist göttlich und menschlich, ewig und endlich zugleich. Er ist Teil eines hierarchischen und gleichzeitig doch interdependenten Gefüges. Er ist geradezu mystisch verklärt und doch den politischen Realitäten unterworfen. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser ewigen und unlösbaren Spannung zwischen Idealität und Realität entsteht ein vielschichtiges, vielfältiges, ja zum Teil sogar widersprüchliches Herrscherbild, das sich einfachen Erklärungsmustern entzieht und in seiner spannungsvollen Dynamik bis heute fasziniert.
