Though I was teaching Shakespeare, taking some joy in pointing out his dirty jokes to my students and showing them how to fight using air broadswords; though I directed Shakespeare productions; though I acted in many of his plays in college and professionally; though I attended a three-week institute on teaching Shakespeare, during all of that time, I knew that I was just going through the motions. Shakespeare, and our educational system’s obsession with him, was still a bit of a mystery to me.

  • Arthur Annesley, Margaret Cavendish, and Neo-Latin History
    The Review of English Studies, New Series, Vol. 69, No. 292, 855–873 doi: 10.1093/res/hgy069 Advance Access Publication Date: 22 August 2018 Arthur Annesley, Margaret Cavendish, and Neo-Latin History Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/res/article-abstract/69/292/855/5078044 by guest on 13 November 2018 Justin Begley ABSTRACT This article explores a hitherto unstudied copy of De vita [...] Guilielmi ducis Novo- Castrensis (1668)—a Latin translation of The Life of William Cavendish (1667) by Margaret Cavendish (1623?–1673)—that Arthur Annesley (1614–1686), the First Earl of Anglesey, has heavily annotated. While Annesley owned the largest private li- brary in seventeenth-century Britain, his copy of De vita is by far the most densely glossed of his identifiable books, with no fewer than sixty-one Latin and Greek annota- tions, not to mention numerous corrections and non-verbal markers. By studying Annesley’s careful treatment of De vita, this essay makes an intervention into the bur- geoning fields of reading and library history along with neo-Latin studies. I propose that Annesley filled the margins of De vita with quotations from Latin poets, scholars, philosophers, and historians—rather than his personal views—in a bid to form a polit- ically impartial outlook on the British Civil Wars that was attuned to broader historical or even mythological trends. I. INTRODUCTION On 18 March 1668, the renowned diarist, Samuel Pepys (1633–1703), recorded that he had stayed ‘home reading the ridiculous history of my Lord Newcastle wrote by his wife, which shows her to be a mad, conceited, ridiculous woman, and he an asse to suffer [her] to write what she writes to him and of him’.1 Pepys’s evaluation of Margaret Cavendish (1623?–1673) and her 1667 The Life of William Cavendishe—an account of the deeds of her husband, William Cavendish (1592–1676), in the British Civil Wars—has fuelled the view that contemporaries either scorned or neglected her books.2 Yet, in spite of Pepys’s assessment, Cavendish’s history went through nu- merous editions over the years.

I advised you formerly to bear with minds of different men from yourself.

Abstract: Oliver Cromwell has always been a subject of fierce debate since his death on September 3, 1658.

  • Petr Osolsobě Sir Thomas More
    PETR OSOLSOBĚ SIR THOMAS MORE: LESS COLLABORATIVE, MORE SHAKESPEAREAN Is Sir Thomas More, in all its fortuitous dramatic unity, the subtle symmetries of its characters, and its network of cross-references a collaborative work? As far as modern editors are concerned, there is a measure of agreement that the original play was the work of Anthony Munday and Henry Chettle, and was completed around 1592-94. Its manuscript contains a number of rewritten and additional passages, attributed to Chettle, Heywood, Dekker and Shakespeare. Gabrieli and Melchiori, in their admirable 1990 Revels edition of Sir Thomas More, support the assumption: playwriting at the time, at least for the public stage, was a collaborative practice between men of letters and actors and the men of the theatre, frequently on the basis of a ‘plot’ devised by a single author[. Besides,] all the extant or lost plays connected with Munday’s name [...] are written in collaboration. (Gabrieli and Melchiori 1990: 13) Munday’s claim to authorship is, furthermore, supported by his access to Harpsfield’s Life of More as well as to other rare recusant literature used in the play; Munday was the right-hand man of Richard Topcliffe, a notorious priest-catcher under Queen Elizabeth, and his close ‘collaborator’ in arresting and executing Roman Catholic priests Edmund Campion, Ralph Sherwin and Alexander Briant in 1581 (Gabrieli and Melchiori 1990: 8). Moreover, Munday was familiar with Latin tags and quotations which are abundant in the original text, always correct in spelling, grammar and syntax, owing to his daily usage of Latin during the months he spent as a spy in the Catholic English College in Rome from February to May 1579.

  • Destiny and Choice in Andrew Marvell's 'An Horatian Ode Upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland'
    Destiny and Choice in Andrew Marvell's 'An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland' Takashi YOSHINAKA After the return of Cromwell from his success in Ireland, William Lenthall, Speaker of the Commons, gave him 'the hearty Thanks of this House for his great good Service', and delivered 'an eloquent Oration, setting forth the great Providence of God in those great and strange Works, which God hath wrought by him, as the Instrument'.1 In her Violence and Religion, Judy Sproxton argues that 'Marvell was as certain as other Puritans of his time that the events which had overtaken England in the mid-seventeenth century indeed manifested the will of God', and that it 'is in terms of his response to this that Marvell portrays Cromwell'.2 But, while this may be truer in the case of the 'Cromwell' portrayed in the second of his Cromwell trilogy, 'The First Anniversary of the Government under His Highness the Lord Protector', especially in the patriotic and apocalyptic context of his foreign policy, Marvell's first recorded response to the head of the military coup, 'An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland', as many critics have pointed out, can be regarded neither as a whole-hearted panegyric nor, as I want to make clearer in this paper, as bearing positive testimony that Cromwell is acting under the spiritual guidance of God. Whereas 'The First Anniversary' presents Cromwell's rise to power as divinely ordained, in the 'Horatian Ode' Marvell seems to have been still 'undiscerned among the tumult blind / Who think those high decrees by man designed' ('The First Anniversary', lines 241-242).
