Shakespeare en devenir

Dr. Imke Lichterfeld teaches English Literature at the University of Bonn in Germany, where she has a position as Studies Coordinator at the Department of English, American and Celtic Studies. She has contributed to publications on the English Renaissance (e.g. in Arrêt sur Sceneor Comparative Drama), Modernism (Literatur in Wissenschaft und Unterricht), and contemporary literature (Inklings Jahrbuch), and she has published a monograph on early modern drama called When the Bad Bleeds — Mantic Elements in English Renaissance Revenge Tragedy with V&R unipress in 2010. Most recent articles include “Champ de blé aux corbeaux: The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) by Joel Coen”, co-written with Sabina Laskowska-Hinz in Utpictura 18 and “Contested Kingship — Controversial Coronation: York’s Paper Crown” in the volume The Moment of Death in Early Modern Europe, c. 1450-1800 (eds. Christ/Brunner). Apart from twentieth-century literature on water, her current research predominantly focuses on contemporary practices and adaptations of early modern theatre, Shakespeare, and his contemporaries.
