Abstract

Abstract:In "Shakespeare, as the Waters Rise," I reflect on teaching a course on Shakespeare's storm- and shipwrecked-filled dramas in the anticipation, experience, and aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, which devastated the Texas Gulf Coast and, particularly, the city of Houston. How do we experience disaster and what happens when we watch it unfold around us from a position of safety? What do we reach for when we fear we will drown? Shelter, succor, and perhaps also Shakespeare, it turns out, as the essay examines the resources of the past for the disasters of the present.

莎士比亚的《水涨船高》

摘要:在《水涨船高的莎士比亚》这篇文章中，我反思了自己在教授一门课程时的感受。这门课程是关于莎士比亚的暴风雨和沉船剧，内容是关于飓风哈维的预期、经历和后果。飓风哈维摧毁了德克萨斯州墨西哥湾沿岸，尤其是休斯顿市。我们如何经历灾难，当我们站在安全的位置上看着灾难在我们周围展开时会发生什么?当我们害怕被淹死时，我们会去找什么?庇护所，救助，也许还有莎士比亚，这篇文章在审视过去的资源以应对现在的灾难时，发现了这一点。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
