Notes to Battle and Mechanical Operation THE BATTLE OF THE BOOKS Running Commentary p. 29 title page A / Full and True Account / OF THE / BATTEL / Fought last FRIDAY, / Between the / Antient and the Modern / BOOKS / IN St. JAMES’s LIBRARY] Ehrenpreis notes that Swift gives his story “the appearance of a sensational pamphlet reporting a fresh battle,” making “the narrator a journalist” (Mr Swift, p. 228). Not to mention variations such as “True and Faithful,” the formula “Full and True” is recorded uncounted times in the seventeenth century (ELLIS [2006], p. 208) and seems to have been particularly popular with Swift (Prose Works, II, 162; VI, 139; X, 145; Journal to Stella, ed. Williams, II, 392). Swift owned An Exact and Most Impartial Accompt of the Indictment, Arraignment, Trial, and Judgement … of Twenty-Nine Regicides, the Murtherers of his Late Sacred Majesty of Most Glorious Memory (London: R. Scot et al., 1679 [PASSMANN AND VIENKEN I, 621-22]) by Lord Chancellor Heneage Finch, admittedly not a journalistic pamphlet, its sensational title notwithstanding. Fought last FRIDAY] According to A Full and True Account of a Most Bloody and Horrid Conspiracy against the Life of His Most Sacred Majesty, February the 24th. 1696 (London: Clement Knell, 1696), the discovery of this plot also occurred on a Friday, a dies infaustus, or unlucky, melancholy day (TILLEY F679; SIMPSON AND ROUD s.v.; A Dictionary of Superstitions, eds Iona Opie and Moira Tatem [Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 1990], s.v.), invariably associated with death and destruction, sometimes called “hanging day,” because the execution of criminals would take place on a Friday (Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, ed. Adrian Room [London: Cassell, 2001], p. 468) but also the day of Adam’s creation and expulsion from Paradise (MORÉRI s.v. “Adam”; Steve Roud, The Penguin Guide to the Superstitions of Britain and Ireland [London: Penguin, 2006], s.v. “Fridays: unlucky”) and that of Christ’s crucifixion. Between the / Antient and the Modern BOOKS / IN St. JAMES’s LIBRARY] See the note on “the BOOKS in St. James’s Library” (p. 31, l. 16). p. 31 dropped-head title THE / BOOKSELLER / TO THE / READER] There is no evidence that this Preface, presumably written after August 1703 when Charles Boyle became Earl of Orrery (see the gloss on “Charles Boyle [now Earl 2 of Orrery],” p. 31, l. 10), is not by Swift (as assumed by CRAIK, p. 419; TEMPLE SCOTT, p. 159n1; GUTHKELCH, p. 251; PRESCOTT, p. 202). BOOKSELLER] In the period from about 1675 to 1750, “the one word ‘bookseller’ served to cover any one who engaged in any one, or any combination, of the three activities … which we designate as wholesale and retail bookselling and publishing.” Thus, in Swift’s day, booksellers could mean publishers in the modern sense, those who, “having the legal right of reproduction, cause books to be printed and distributed for sale” (Michael Treadwell, “London Trade Publishers, 1675-1750,” The Library, 6th ser., 4 [1982], 101-34), as well as printers, as this advertisement demonstrates: “The Undertakers of this Journal, resolving to make it as Compleat as possible, intend at the End of each succeeding Month to add the Titles of all Books whatsoever publish’d in England … The Booksellers are therefore desir’d to send in the Titles of what Books they Print, as soon as publish’d, to any of the Undertakers” (History of the Works of the Learned, 2 [1700], 394). In George Farquhar’s The Constant Couple, Clincher Sr thinks of an agreement “with a Bookseller about Printing an Account of [his] Journey through France to Italy” (The Complete Works, ed. Charles Stonehill, 2 vols [New York: Gordian Press, 1967], I, 144). p. 31, ll. 1-2 THE following Discourse, as it is unquestionably of the same Author] That is, the author of A Tale of a Tub, published together with The Battle of the Books, as is evident from the title page. See also Textual Introduction, p. □. p. 31, ll. 3-4 I mean, the Year 1697, when the famous Dispute was on Foot, about Antient and Modern Learning] Initiated in 1690, the controversy peaked in 1698 and 1699 (see the bibliography of pamphlets in Richard Bentley, The Works [1836-1838], ed. Alexander Dyce, 3 vols [Hildesheim and New York: Georg Olms, 1971], I, xi-xix; GUTHKELCH, p. 297-312; A. T. Bartholomew and J. W. Clark, Richard Bentley, D.D.: A Bibliography of his Works and of All the Literature Called Forth by his Acts or his Writings [Cambridge: Bowes and Bowes, 1908], pp. 26-41; Alexandre Maurocordato, La Critique classique en Angleterre de la Restauration à la mort de Joseph Addison [Paris: Didier, 1964], pp. 701-4). p. 31, l. 5 an Essay of Sir William Temple’s] “An Essay upon the Ancient and Modern Learning,” Miscellanea: The Second Part (London: by T. M. for Ri. and Ra. Simpson, 1690), pp. 1-72. 3 p. 31, ll. 5-6 which was answer’d by W. Wotton, B.D. with an Appendix by Dr. Bently] The first edition of Wotton’s Reflections upon Ancient and Modern Learning (London: by J. Leake for Peter Buck, 1694), published on 2 July 1694, responded to Temple’s essay, but did not yet contain Bentley’s Dissertation upon the Epistles of Phalaris, added to the second edition of 1697 and published on 15 July (Bartholomew and Clark, Richard Bentley, pp. 27-28 [*94]). For a full analysis of Wotton’s Reflections, see Marie-Luise Spieckermann, William Wottons “Reflections upon Ancient and Modern Learning” im Kontext der englischen “Querelle des anciens et des modernes” (Frankfurt am Main and Bern: Peter Lang, 1981). p. 31, ll. 9-10 a new Edition of Phalaris, put out by the Honorable Charles Boyle] Phalaridis Agrigentinorum Tyranni epistolæ: ex MSS recensuit, versione, annotationibus, & vita insuper authoris donavit Car. Boyle (Oxford: Johannes Crooke, 1695), published 1 January (Bartholomew and Clark, Richard Bentley, pp. 27 [*91]). “The prefix ‘Honourable’ (Hon.) is given to sons of peers below the rank of Marquess” (OED). p. 31, l. 10 (now Earl of Orrery)] Charles succeeded his elder brother Lionel as Earl of Orrery in August 1703 (G. E. C., X, 178-80). p. 31, ll. 10-11 to which Mr. Boyle replyed at large] The first and second editions of Dr Bentley’s Dissertations on the Epistles of Phalaris and the Fables of Æsop Examin’d came out in the same year (London: Tho. Bennet, 1698), a third in 1699 (Bartholomew and Clark, Richard Bentley, pp. 29 and 32 [*97, *98, *107]). The rumour that Boyle’s Examination had been authored by a group of Christ Church wits coming to his rescue under the leadership of Francis Atterbury, Boyle’s tutor, was disseminated soon after its appearance (see the note on “Boyl, clad in a suit of Armor which had been given him by all the Gods,” p. 51, ll. 27- 28). p. 31, ll. 11-12 the Doctor, voluminously, rejoyned] A Dissertation upon the Epistles of Phalaris: With an Answer to the Objections of the Honourable Charles Boyle (London: J. H. for Henry Mortlock and John Hartley, 1699). This is the much enlarged edition of Bentley’s Dissertation, first published on 23 February1698/9 as an appendix to the second edition of Wotton’s Reflections in July 1697, and reprinted several times in the following years (Bartholomew and Clark, Richard Bentley, pp. 32-33 [*109]). Bentley’s copy of Boyle’s 1695 edition 4 of Phalaris, bearing his holograph marginalia on the text, is in the British Library (shelfmark 682.b.7). p. 31, ll. 12-13 In this Dispute, the Town highly resented to see a Person of Sir William Temple’s Character and Merits, roughly used] After 1698 when Boyle’s Examination was published, a controversy about a question of historical facticity, the spuriousness of the epistles of Phalaris, turned into an issue of moral character. Among the many who resented “a certain great Man … universally reverenced for every good Quality” unfairly treated (A Tale of a Tub, p. G), Tom Brown happily denounced Bentley as “a stiff haughty Grammarian” and “Arrogant Pedant,” whom “all the Polite Judges in Europe were pleased to see worsted and foiled by a Young Gentleman” (Familiar and Courtly Letters, 3rd ed. [London: S. B., 1701], pp. 133-34), and he was vigorously supported by the anonymous pamphleteer, possibly Atterbury, of A Short Account of Dr Bentley’s Humanity and Justice ([London: Thomas Bennet, 1699], pp. 1-4, and passim), the anonymous author of A Letter to the Reverend Dr Bentley, upon the Controversy betwixt Him and Mr Boyle ([London: J. Nutt, 1699], pp. 21-22), as well as A Short Review of the Controversy between Mr. Boyle and Dr. Bentley, which is also attributed to Atterbury (Bartholomew and Clark, Richard Bentley, p. 38 [*129]) and which has a tellingly sarcastic subtitle: With Suitable Reflections upon … the Dr’s. Advantagious Character of Himself (London: A. Baldwin, 1701). p. 31, ll. 16-20 the BOOKS in St. James’s Library, looking upon themselves as Parties principally concerned, took up the Controversy, and came to a decisive Battel; But, the Manuscript, by the Injury of Fortune, or Weather, being in several Places imperfect, we cannot learn to which side the Victory fell] St James’s Palace originally housed two libraries: the Royal Library, founded by Edward VI, and the Queen’s Library (Edgar Sheppard, Memorials of St James’s Palace, 2 vols [London and New York: Longmans, Green and Co., 1894], I, 372-80). As becomes evident from two later references, the Battle of the Books is set in the Royal Library (see the note on “there was a strange Confusion of Place among all the Books in the Library,” p.

  • JOHN EVELYN and MEDICINE* by C
    JOHN EVELYN AND MEDICINE* by C. D. O'MALLEY JOHN EvELYN has often been described as a virtuoso in the seventeenth-century meaning of that word, and if it be recalled that the Earl of Arundel, the greatest of the virtuosi was his patron, that Evelyn was a member of the Royal Society almost from its inception and a diligent attendant of its meetings, which at that time dealt with a wide variety of curiosa and technological as well as scientific problems, that he was a vocal and literary exponent and collector of the odd and the artistic, and a recognized authority on architecture and gardens, he must certainly be classed among the notable virtuosi of his day. But within his multifarious interests and their related activities Evelyn appears to have had a particular regard for medicine, one that transcended the usual concern of those members of his class who did not espouse that subject professionally. Except for somewhat intermittent studies at Oxford, undertaken more as an obligation than because of genuine desire, medicine was the only discipline in which he deliberately took any formal instruction, and throughout the many years covered by his Diary medicine and matters ancillary to it received uncommon attention." Anyone living in the seventeenth century was very much aware of accident, disease, and ever proximate death. It was quite in the order of things that Evelyn, born in 1620, recalled from his fifth year the severe plague in 1625, its high mortality and the fact, as he later wrote, that he himself 'was shortly after so dangerously sick of a Feavor, that (as I have heard), the Physitians despair'd of me' (ii.7).2 He was fourteen years old when his sister Elizabeth died (ii.12), fifteen at the death of his mother, whose four attending physicians were identified by name in the Diary (ii.14-15), and twenty at the time of his father's death (ii.26).

BEN JONSON AND THE M IR R O R : FO LLY KNOWS NO GENDER Sherry Broadwell Niewoonder, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2001 Ben Jonson, Renaissance poet and playwright, has been the subject of renewed evaluation in recent scholarship, particularly new historicism and cultural materialism. The consensus among some current scholars is that Jonson overtly practices and advocates misogyny in his dramas. Such theorists suggest that Jonson both embodies and promulgates the anti­ woman rhetoric of his time, basing their position on contemporary cultural material, religious tracts, and the writings of King James I.

While an awareness of the efflorescence has helped recover a fuller picture of the historical landscape, the enterprise did not foment an appreciable change in Arabic grammatical or linguistic expertise for the majority of seventeenth-century university students learning the language. As a result, the desuetude of Arabic Studies by the 1660s has been regarded as further evidence for the conclusion that the project reaped insubstantial benefits for the history of science and for the Scientific Revolution. Rather, this inquiry contends that the influence of the Arabic transmission of Greek philosophical works extended beyond Renaissance Italy to Stuart England, which not only shared a continuity with the continental reception of Latinized Arabic texts but selectively investigated some sources of original Arabic scientific ideas and methods with new rigor.

  • Politics in Jonathan Swift's Literature
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Repositorio Documental de la Universidad de Valladolid FACULTAD de FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO de FILOLOGÍA INGLESA Grado en Estudios Ingleses TRABAJO DE FIN DE GRADO Politics in Jonathan Swift’s Literature Rebeca Carravilla Izquierdo Tutora: Ana Sáez Hidalgo 4º Grado en Estudios Ingleses 2 Abstract Jonathan Swift has been considered one of the most skillful authors of the eighteenth century due to his harsh and accomplished satirist style of writing, and the polemic that it caused in the society of the time. His masterpiece, Gulliver’s Travels, an apparently simple travel book - among many others of the time- seems to camouflage, nevertheless, a brilliant satire that does not differ too much from the political essays and pamphlets published by the same author. In those writings, he harshly criticized the situation of his country by not only blaming Irish politicians and the British government, but also the own population and the stupidity of the human race. In this dissertation, I intend to find out about the author’s ideology through the study of the ideas captured in his literature. For this purpose, I have first analyzed four of Jonathan Swift’s political essays. Then, I have examined Gulliver’s Travels from the perspective of the conclusions reached through these first readings in order to expose the connection between Swift’s political treatises and his fiction. Key words: Jonathan Swift, politics, corruption, Gulliver’s Travels, government, Ireland, England Jonathan Swift es considerado uno de los mejores autores del siglo dieciocho debido a su conseguido estilo satírico y por la polémica que causó en la sociedad de su tiempo.

  • Shakespeare, Jonson, and the Invention of the Author
    11 Donaldson 1573 11/10/07 15:05 Page 319 SHAKESPEARE LECTURE Shakespeare, Jonson, and the Invention of the Author IAN DONALDSON Fellow of the Academy THE LIVES AND CAREERS OF SHAKESPEARE and Ben Jonson, the two supreme writers of early modern England, were intricately and curiously interwoven. Eight years Shakespeare’s junior, Jonson emerged in the late 1590s as a writer of remarkable gifts, and Shakespeare’s greatest theatri- cal rival since the death of Christopher Marlowe. Shakespeare played a leading role in the comedy that first brought Jonson to public promi- nence, Every Man In His Humour, having earlier decisively intervened— so his eighteenth-century editor, Nicholas Rowe, relates—to ensure that the play was performed by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, who had ini- tially rejected the manuscript.1 Shakespeare’s name appears alongside that of Richard Burbage in the list of ‘principal tragedians’ from the same company who performed in Jonson’s Sejanus in 1603, and it has been con- jectured that he and Jonson may even have written this play together.2 During the years of their maturity, the two men continued to observe Read at the Academy 25 April 2006. 1 The Works of Mr William Shakespeare, ed.

On the reliability of Rowe’s testimony, see Samuel Schoenbaum, Shakespeare’s Lives (Oxford, 1970), pp. 19–35. 2 The list is appended to the folio text of the play, published in 1616.

  • Reception Theories. White Is an Interesting Choice for Author of This
    102 Book Reviews reception theories. White is an interesting choice for author of this particular essay because he is at odds with much of what the primary perspective of the volume represents. He writes, of a broadly defined materialist criticism, that while it ‘opens up new interpretation ...itisfair to say that it risks losing some of the strengths of earlier modes like new criticism, which focused attention on textual details, and formalism, which illuminates dramatic structure in ways that explain theatrical effect’ (290). Although his essay could hardly be called dissenting, it does remind us how much might be lost in the name of theory. Any book that offers itself as a work of reference should have reasonably up-to-date bibliographies. Each essay here is followed by its own reading list, but they vary widely in quality and comprehensiveness. Honigmann’s contains only four titles, two of them published in the 1930s. Mowat’s contains 21, almost all of them published after 1986. The volume aims to make up for this inconsistency with Dieter Mehl’s valuable survey ‘Shakespeare reference books’. This is an updating of his contribution to the 1986 volume, in which under a variety of subheadings he identifies the best or most useful reference tools, including a number of Internet sites. There is one interesting omission. In his 1986 survey Mehl included in the category ‘handbooks’ the 1971 Companion edited by Muir and Schoenbaum. It is gone from his updated survey and is not replaced by the 1986 volume. The implicit though surely unintended suggestion that the new Companion has displaced its predecessor should, I think, be ignored.
