Journal Article
Shakespeare und der historische Roman
2013
Overview
This study considers the transformation of plays into novels (something less investigated than the inverse process), and the relationship between historical drama, historical fiction, and the corresponding events in history. Shakespeare’s Second Tetralogy and three late-twentieth-century novels serve as examples. Their differences include narrative method: Pargeter’s third-person novel is wholly, Giardina’s first-person novel largely, in the realist tradition, and both concentrate on Prince Hal, the later King Henry V. Nye’s novel, the central object of study here, is the fictitious autobiography of a figure whose place in history is at best marginal (accepting Nye’s identification Falstaff/ Fastolf), throwing an unusual light on the period. Moreover, it is a parodistical, fantastical, densely intertextual metanovel. Pargeter guides sympathies towards Hotspur, Giardina towards Hal, Nye determinedly towards Falstaff. The representational possibilities of fiction (as opposed to drama) are exploited by all three, though again their methods vary.
