Lecture 4 - The King's Men, Triumph & Tragedy
About This Webinar
The arrival of a Scottish King on English soil proved fertile ground for a playwright who, by 1603, had written some of his most famous and admired works, including Hamlet, Henry V and Julius Caesar. James I, with his wider range of intellectual interests, required more stimulation, though with no loss of dramatic effect as Macbeth and King Lear amply demonstrate. Throughout both webinars James will enliven his presentations not only with specially chosen images, but with short readings from many of the great man’s works, both the plays and the sonnets. As he put it in one of his most memorable sonnets:
"Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme…"
