Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study elucidates the following facets of the widow/widower literature in early modern England.(1)The relationship between widow/widower literature and the public sphere in early modern England. The public sphere represented in Elizabethan and Stuart literature was fashioned by the widows who were depicted as attending the pubs with youths. One of the features of the public sphere was the deconstruction of masculine power and authority.(2)In Shakespeare's plays, especially in The Taming of the Shrew and Hamlet, these public spheres are represented. (3)In the public spheres fashioned by widows in Shakespeare's plays, especially in Hamlet, the relationship between widows and the lack of memory, or oblivion, is brought into focus. (4)In the widow/widower literature of early modern England, particularly in Shakespeare's and John Webster's plays, a charivari, or the rough music, i. e. the popular ritual of sanction, is enacted in order to expel and alienate the widow or the widower.
