Shakespeare's Henry VIII: A Dialogue in Three Historical Spaces


Yan Haifeng, Zhang Dan


Abstract: Henry VIII is the last historical play written by Shakespeare, and also the final work of his career. Shakespeare wrote the play in 1612 when the abdication of Queen Elizabeth I and during the reign of the new King James I, which is related to the birth of Elizabeth I in the play. Based on the controversial King Henry VIII, the second king of Tudor, Shakespeare has created a controversial work that links major historical events with historical sources. Henry VIII is the product of three historical times and Spaces. It integrates the Tudor in history, the Tudor in drama and the ideology of the reign of James I, and constructs a new "real" history, which enables the dialogue, negotiation and circulation of the present and the past. The new historicism criticism regards history and literary texts as independent texts of equal status, discusses the intertextual relationship between them in the cultural context, and achieves the effect of touching the "reality" of history. From the perspective of new historicism criticism, this paper discusses the textuality of the three historical spaces, the historicity of Henry VIII, and the interaction between history, culture and text in the three historical spaces, aiming to make a comprehensive interpretation of Shakespeare's Henry VIII.

Key words: Henry VIII; new historicism criticism; three historical spaces; the interactive relationship
