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.
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.
