Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Spartan Boys: John Ford and Philip Sidney In the Prologue to The Broken Heart, Ford begins by unequivocally placing his play within its geographical location: ‘Our scene is Sparta’ are the first words spoken on stage.1 He goes on first to define the play as a serious piece of work, and then to make an assertion which has aroused considerable speculation: What may be here thought a fiction, when time’s youth Wanted some riper years, was known a truth. (Prologue, ll.14-15) This has often been taken to refer to the real-life relationship between Penelope Rich, sister of the Earl of Essex and the ‘Stella’ of Astrophil and Stella, and Sir Philip Sidney.2 The story of Orgilus and Penthea certainly does have elements in common with that of Sidney and his Stella, while the names of Ford’s characters may well seem to echo those of Argalus and Parthenia, who feature in one of the numerous sub-plots of the new Arcadia, and ‘the general indebtedness of Ford’s play to Sidney’s Arcadia has been noticed’.3 But Ford’s Spartan setting is a stark counterpoint to Sidney’s lush one of Arcadia, though even it, in the second version of The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia, is under threat from insurrection in neighbouring Sparta. -
Re-Reading John Ford's
Re-Reading John Ford’s ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore, Re-Writing Tragedy: Margaret Cavendish’s The Unnatural Tragedy linda avril burnett Algoma University Dans cet article, l’ auteur développe et appuie la revendication d’ originalité de Margaret Cavendish. L’ auteur présente The Unnatural Tragedy (1662), une relec- ture de ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore (1633), comme faisant partie de la tradition des femmes écrivaines dans laquelle deux textes sont publiés dans un seul volume : le premier créatif et le deuxième critique. L’ analyse montre que la façon dont Cavendish utilise cette forme d’appropriation rend The Unnatural Tragedy plus proche de ce que nous nommons une parodie, que de l’imitation propre à la Ren- aissance. L’ auteur montre également que la pièce de Cavendish porte deux voix : une première critique et une deuxième qui rend hommage à la pièce de Ford. The Unnatural Tragedy de Cavendish traite de l’association que Ford fait entre le discours féminin et la transgression sexuelle dans ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore (1633). Simultanément, la pièce de Cavendish est un hommage à la tentative de Ford de remettre en question l’idéologie d’un genre dans lequel les notions d’amour roman- tique et d’honneur masculin sont privilégiées. Dans sa pièce, Cavendish retra- vaille celle de Ford afin de déstabiliser à la fois la tragédie et ce qu’ elle représente dans la société patriarcale de Cavendish, et ce faisant, s’adresse simultanément à Aristote et Ford. Silence is the adornment of women. Sophocles said so, and Aristotle repeated it. -
Introduction
introduction Romance is a twilight zone in studies of late sixteenth-century literary genres in England. Half-way between the nostalgia of medieval chivalry and the enterprising spirit of early modern exploration, piracy and com- merce as preludes to a future empire, it is both very old-fashioned and innovatively modern. Appearing in narrative as well as in dramatic forms, romance lays simultaneous claims to history and imagination, which were not necessarily in opposition in the period, and caters for a readership of servants and citizens while equally fi nding its way into Spenserian epic, Sidneyan pastoral or even late Shakespearian tragicomedy and Miltonian poetry. The three plays grouped in this volume are early modern attempts at conquering that twilight zone in a context of expanding contacts with Muslim lands around the Mediterranean. romance and conquest in early modern england ‘The structural core of all fi ction’ for Northrop Frye, who sees it as a means to translate mythical archetypes into human experience, 1 romance is also ‘a notoriously slippery category’, as Barbara Fuchs warns. 2 The basic defi nition with which Helen Cooper starts her authoritative study of the genre is a primarily narrative fi ction in the vernacular which appears from the twelfth century onward, characterised by exotic settings, distant in time and/or place, concerned with love and/or chivalry, and involving high-ranking individuals engaged in some ideal quest. It may include such recurrent patterns as encounters with the supernatural, obscured identities or miraculous conversions. 3 Patricia Parker’s earlier deconstructionist approach complicates this defi nition by insisting on the proliferating digressions which form the structure of romance and defer its closure and collective coherence. -

2019 Seminar Abstracts: the King's Men and Their Playwrights
1 2019 Seminar Abstracts: The King’s Men and Their Playwrights Meghan C. Andrews, Lycoming College James J. Marino, Cleveland State University “Astonishing Presence”: Writing for a Boy Actress of the King’s Men, c. 1610-1616 Roberta Barker, Dalhousie University Although scholarship has acknowledged the influence of leading actors such as Richard Burbage on the plays created for the King’s Men, less attention has been paid to the ways in which the gifts and limitations of individual boy actors may have affected the company’s playwrights. Thanks to the work of scholars such as David Kathman and Martin Wiggins, however, it is now more feasible than ever to identify the periods during which specific boys served their apprenticeships with the company and the plays in which they likely performed. Building on that scholarship, my paper will focus on the repertoire of Richard Robinson (c.1597-1648) during his reign as one of the King’s Men’s leading actors of female roles. Surviving evidence shows that Robinson played the Lady in Middleton’s Second Maiden’s Tragedy in 1611 and that he appeared in Jonson’s Catiline (1611) and Fletcher’s Bonduca (c.1612-14). Using a methodology first envisioned in 1699, when one of the interlocutors in James Wright’s Historia Histrionica dreamt of reconstructing the acting of pre-Civil War London by “gues[sing] at the action of the Men, by the Parts which we now read in the Old Plays” (3), I work from this evidence to suggest that Robinson excelled in the roles of nobly born, defiant tragic heroines: women of “astonishing presence,” as Helvetius says of the Lady in The Second Maiden’s Tragedy (2.1.74). -
The New Changeling 1 Leaders: Gordon Mcmullan, King’S College London Kelly Stage, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
2018 SAA Seminar: The New Changeling 1 Leaders: Gordon McMullan, King’s College London Kelly Stage, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Seminar Respondent: Professor Suzanne Gossett, Loyola University Chicago Seminar summary It is ten years since the publication of Gary Taylor and John Lavagnino’s landmark Oxford Middleton edition – time, we feel, for reflection on the impact of the edition and of other recent developments in Middleton studies, as well as in early modern drama more generally, on the study and teaching of The Changeling, the most frequently taught play in the Middleton canon and thus a valuable test case. Our working premise is that critical fields, especially in respect of plays prominent in the teaching canon, tend to change more glacially than we might wish, and our plan for the seminar is to assess the current state of play in Changeling studies. We aim to provoke new work in light of developments over the last decade, both those prompted by the Oxford edition and those that are freestanding by virtue of being under way before 2007. The former include Annabel Patterson’s elegant introduction to the Oxford edition and a range of related engagements with the play by, e.g., Tanya Pollard, Michael Neill, Carol Thomas Neely, Courtney Lehmann, Pascale Aebischer and Barbara Ravelhofer, as well, most recently, as essays by Jay Zysk, Brad Ryner and Jennifer Panek rethinking issues of embodiment, sexuality and religion that were hallmarks of an earlier phase of Changeling criticism. The latter include, inter alia, David Nicol’s Middleton & Rowley (2012), which directly addresses the collaborative nature of the play and throws down the gauntlet to critics' persistent tendency to ignore collaboration or downplay the scenes thought to be Rowley’s. -

It will be argued that the role of geography and travelling in the play cannot be reduced to a mere formal strategy. In the play’s treatment and representation of geography, psychological, moral and political aspects intertwine. Thus Pericles can be understood simultaneously as an individual’s life journey, as a spiritual journey, and even as an exploration of different forms of government and power. Taking as a point of departure John Gillies’ concept of “geographic imagination” and Freud’s notion of “the uncanny,” I will focus on the psychological meaning and on the poetic and dramatic effectiveness of the author’s imaginative use of geography. Examination of the different locations demonstrates that, beyond their existence as specific external spaces, they are relevant as inner mental entities informing Pericles’ experience and acquiring meaning within the hero’s microcosm. -
