  • And Humanist Learning in Tudor England a Thesis
    ROGER ASCHAM AND HUMANIST LEARNING IN TUDOR ENGLAND by HARRAL E. LANDRY,, A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the Graduate School of the University of Alabama UNIVERSITY, ALABAMA 1958 PREFACE Roger Ascham was probably the greatest teacher in Elizabethan England. The period is graced with the name of his most famous and most spectacular pupil - Elizabeth Tu.dor. His life was dedicated, if indeed to anything, to the Greek ideal of "a sound mind in a sound body •." In addition, he reached a zenith as probably the greatest Latin letter writer in England. This achievement is all the more remarkable since his era was one of scholarship in the language of ancient Latium and of Rome. Yet, he is without a biographer, except in short sketches prefacing the editions of his writings. The purpose of this thesis is to collect some of the thoroughly scattered material and look a little more close­ ly at Ascham as a student, scholar, and particularly as a teacher. Every effort has been made to work with source material. Old English spellings have been modernized to provide continuity, uniformity, and smoothness of reading. Exceptions will be found in original book titles. Making a study of ideas is like steering a tricky passage between the perils of Scylla and Charybdis. In narrow straits the channel is often both,deep and indeter­ minate. The navigation of such a passage, even on my unlearned and far from comprehensive level, would have been impossible were it not for the generous assistance of a number of people.

    The Shaping of Wit in the Euphuistic Prose of John Lyly Yuval Kramer University of Oxford [email protected] Nowhere in the corpus of early modern English literature is the idea of ‘wit’ given a more central expression than in the prose tradition that was to produce what is now termed euphuism. This began with John Lyly and his first major work, Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit, first published in 1578.1 Widely popular and reissued a further twelve times by end of the century, Lyly’s work placed at the centre of its thematic explorations a multivalent wit and did so while employing an excessively copious style, a choice which had resulted in Lyly’s work gaining its fair share of detractors.2 Euphues, and its equally popular sequel Euphues and his England,3 nevertheless inspired the writings of a loose group of Lyly’s fellow university-educated authors, known today as the University Wits.4 Their works often imitated Lyly’s style, dealt with similar thematic concerns and even alluded to Lyly’s protagonist in titles such as 1 Lyly, Euphues. The Anatomy of Wit. London: Gabriel Cawood, 1579. STC 17052. 2 Especially notable are Philip Sidney’s attack of euphuism and its similitudes in The Defence of Poesy as ‘a most tedious prattling’ (1433); and Gabriel Harvey, who coined the term “euphuism” in his Four Letters of 1592 (STC 12900) and dismissed it as ‘pretty stale’.

    THE GOVERNMENT AS PROPRIETOR, PRESERVER AND USER OF COPYRIGHT MATERIAL UNDER THE COPYRIGHT ACT 1968 (CTH) by John Steel Gilchrist Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of Australia and of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory BA, LLB, LLM (Mon) GCHE (UC) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Queensland University of Technology 2012 IN MEMORIAM Ian Steel Gilchrist and Violet Cherry Burnell Gregory STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Signature QUT Verified Signature Date: 111 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the role of government as proprietor, preserver and user of copyright material under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) and the policy considerations which Australian law should take into account in that role. There are two recurring themes arising in this examination which are significant to the recommendations and conclusions. The first is whether the needs and status of government should be different from private sector institutions, which also obtain copyright protection under the law. This theme stems from the 2005 Report on Crown Copyright by the Copyright Law Review Committee and the earlier Ergas Committee Report which are discussed in Chapters 2 and 8 of this thesis. The second is to identify the relationship between government copyright law and policy, national cultural policy and fundamental governance values.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • William Webbe. a Discourse of English Poetry (1586). Ed. Sonia Hernández-Santano
    William Webbe. A Discourse of English Poetry (1586). Ed. Sonia Hernández-Santano. Critical Texts, 47. Cambridge: Modern Humanities Research Association, 2016. Pp. xii, 164. €13.99. ISBN: 9781781881255. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24197/ersjes.38.2017.145-150 William Webbe’s A Discourse of English Poetry (1586) bears the distinction of being the first poetical treatise of some length to be printed in England, which makes it a historical curiosity but hardly a seminal work. George Gascogine’s “Certain Notes of Instruction concerning the Making of Verse or Rhyme in English,” which Webbe evidently knew, had been printed in 1575 to accompany his The Poesies, but was far less ambitious in scope and gave only sixteen succinct indications for would- be poets. A Discourse’s more illustrious companions, George Puttenham’s The Art of English Poesy and Sir Philip Sidney’s A Defence of Poesy were both written in the early 1580s but not published until 1589 and 1595, respectively. As editor Sonia Hernández-Santano points out (2016: 68n30), there is no evidence in A Discourse that Webbe was familiar with Puttenham’s or with Sidney’s works, despite the latter author’s connection through his patronage of Abraham Fraunce with the circles into which, according to Hernández-Santano, Webbe sought to gain inclusion. A Discourse naturally has points in common, and also of divergence, with Puttenham’s and Sidney’s treatises, most of which are indicated in the generous footnotes; but Webbe’s direct influences were, above all, Roger Ascham’s The Scholemaster (1570) and Sir Thomas Elyot’s The Boke Named the Governour (1531), works whose markedly pedagogical nature no doubt appealed to Webbe, the otherwise undistinguished tutor to the two sons of the equally undistinguished squire, Edward Sulyard, of Runwell, Essex.

  • THE STYLE and REFERENCES of LYLY's EUPHUES in the Histoiiy Of
    THE STYLE AND REFERENCES OF LYLY'S EUPHUES In the histoiiy of" English prose the sixteenth century is a time of beginnings* Not only does this period witness the struggle of the English language to become aneSsHy medium of non—poetic literary expression, but it sees also the differentiation of the later types of prose writing. Here are to be found the. germsiof history, biography, criticism and prose fiction. To ?the .‘last' • naned species belongs the Euphues of John Lyly, one. of to*; portant books of an important age. It does not seem too much to claim the Euphues as the first English nove.lt Not that our lit­ erature was without fiction until its appearance; the century was rich in translations and adaptations of foreign tales. But this book is perhaps the first to show the combination of plot and character in the form the later romance and novel were to as­ sume. A prior claim may be made for the Utopia of Sir Thomas More* written sixty-three years before the Euphues; but the fact that the Utopia was a Latin, and not an English work, makes its claim void. * See Jusserand: The English Novel in the Time of Shakespeare. » p. 103. 1 .* A , 4'h i o f7i Aside from the importance due to its position-in the history of English fiction, Lyly's Euphues deserves consideration because of its popularity in its own time, and the influence of its style on English;prose. The number of editions, the comments of contemporaries, and the imitations of its style show that the Euphu­ es was considered one of the greatest books of its time.
