Schoenbaum dubbed those foolhardy enough to try ‘personalists’ who ‘ignore Shakespeare’s dependence on written sources, rather than private experiences, for the material of his plays’.4 Despite Schoenbaum’s warning, the twenty-first century has seen a remarkable run of intrusive biographies which attribute Shakespeare’s opacity to crypto-Catholicism, wariness of tetchy censors, or a calculated self-distancing from the intrigues that roiled Tudor-Stuart England. These range from aggressive (Richard Wilson) to artful (Stephen Greenblatt) to measured (James Shapiro) to bizarre (Clare Asquith).5 The present book is not an attempt at biography. It proceeds from the modest assumption that Shakespeare’s plays are more SOHMER 9781526113276 PRINT.indd 9 14/11/2016 10:05 x Preface: impersonal Shakespeare personal than we have recognized, that numerous characters and events he depicts were drawn from life, and that some of these may be recoverable. I intend to explore aspects of William Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets which scholars have overlooked or misinterpreted, thereby better to understand the plays and the man. I will sift for clues to his relationships with people who mattered: family, friends, colleagues, patrons, lovers, enemies. Sieving for these traces – in effect reading Shakespeare’s mind – can be risky business; it is neither pure liter- ary criticism nor objective historiography, though it must respect the rubrics of both. Rather, my investigations rely on a fundamental tenet of criticism: no author, his milieu and his times, are entirely separable from his works. Every oeuvre constitutes an autobiogra- phy of the writer – and in the case of a great writer, of an age. In riddling his texts for the personal Shakespeare, of necessity I will engage with several cruces long believed inscrutable. Early readers have cautioned that some of my inferences may be received as doubtful and some of my interpretations exceptional. Not every reader will accept my solution to Malvolio’s M.O.A.I. conundrum in Twelfth Night, or agree that ‘Quinapalus’ is an anagram of ‘Aquinas’ and ‘Paul’. Opinion may bridle at the suggestion that Shakespeare wrote As You Like It to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the death of Christopher Marlowe and created the character of Jaques in the dead man’s image. Readers reluctant to entertain Emilia Bassano Lanier as the ‘Dark Lady’ of the sonnets may find it difficult to accept her religious heritage and flawed -mar riage as the inspiration for Jessica in The Merchant of Venice. Even those who accept Gabriel Harvey as the model for Malvolio may balk at acknowledging Thomas Nashe behind the mask of Feste (and that of Touchstone) – just as some may shrug off my explana- tion for the vengeance-seeking steward filing suit against Viola’s loyal Captain. I am keenly aware that each of my inferences will admit three interpretations: 1. The parallels are merely coincidental, and any relationship between Shakespeare’s text and actual persons living or dead is imaginary. 2. Shakespeare had the referent on his mind and it seeped into his text via subconscious activity. SOHMER 9781526113276 PRINT.indd 10 14/11/2016 10:05 Preface: impersonal Shakespeare xi 3. Shakespeare intentionally created the connection, though he knew that only a handful of auditors would recognize it. I will vigorously maintain the latter, that is, there are numerous pas- sages in the plays which Shakespeare intended to be opaque to the mass audience but transparent to a coterie with specialized knowl- edge or personal connections. This is not to suggest Shakespeare wrote in some arcane code decipherable only by fellow Rosicrucians, Freemasons, or anti- Petrarchanists. I am merely suggesting that events in a writer’s life can and do inspire his choice of material and shape his language, sometimes in ways that only his intimates can recognize. This is hardly a radical notion. But I intend to press its boundaries. Those who seek affirmation of my views in current (or past) scholarly editions will not find reassurance; this book does not rehearse received wisdom but attempts to peer beyond it. Readers willing to restrain the impulse to pedanticism – that hobgoblin of progressive scholarship – may find that the solutions to Shakespeare’s enigmas offered here are the best we have. I owe sincere thanks to Professor Lisa Hopkins for encouraging my research on Christopher Marlowe and As You Like It, and to Ms Jocelyn Medawar, who gave me new insight into the play. As well, I owe an inestimable debt to my teachers, the late Dennis Kay, John Pitcher, Bill Carroll, the late Tony Nuttall, Gordon Kipling, and par- ticularly Barbara Everett and the late Emrys Jones for instruction and inspiration.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2788) Abstract The Henry VIII MS (BL Additional MS 31,922)—a song book with lyrics by Henry VIII, Thomas Wyatt, William Cornish, and other literary figures of the early Henrician court—is a document that contributes greatly to a critical understanding of the connections between poetry, patronage, and power in early Renaissance society because of the prominence of its chief author, the King himself, and the manuscript's reflection of literary, social, and political elements of the early Tudor court. Acknowledging that the contents of the Henry VIII MS have been thoroughly treated as "words for music" by the musicologist John Stevens, whose Music and Poetry in the Early Tudor Court and Music at the Court of Henry VIII are the standard works in the area, my thesis builds on existing scholarship to treat the lyrics of H chiefly as "words," as literary texts.

I trust that the following pages will provide the information you need to consider thoughtfully and prayerfully if God would have you study here. Westminster is a thriving community seeking to understand the meaning of Scripture and apply it to all areas of life. We are guided in this work by three primary beliefs: ● First, we believe that Reformed theology, as defined by the Westminster Standards, most accurately represents the teachings of Scripture. We are therefore boldly committed to confessional, Reformed Christianity. ● Second, we believe that proper interpretation of Scripture requires careful scholarship. We are therefore deeply committed to academic excellence and a Christ-centered hermeneutic shaped by the Reformation principle of Sola Scriptura that flows from a conviction that the Bible is the infallible and inerrant Word of God. ● Third, we believe that genuine and effective gospel service requires a heart of love and devotion to Christ. We are therefore passionately committed to spiritual formation. These core beliefs undergird each degree program we offer as we seek to train leaders who are specialists in the Bible and equipped to proclaim the whole counsel of God for Christ and His global church. Our graduates serve all over the world as pastors, professors, missionaries, counselors, translators, church planters, and in many other capacities.

  • TRANSITION from CORAMBIS to POLONIUS the Forgotten Pun on a Diplomatic Scandal in a Hamlet Q2 Stage Direction Abraham Samuel
    TRANSITION FROM CORAMBIS TO POLONIUS The Forgotten Pun on a Diplomatic Scandal in a Hamlet Q2 Stage Direction Abraham Samuel Shiff 1. Introduction Angered, Queen Elizabeth furiously chastised the audacious Polish ambassador Paulus Dzialinski (Paweł Działyński) with a Latin phrase that became a metaphor for insolence to a superior by a subordinate: Quam decepta fui? Legatum expectavi, Heraldum inveni – Why am I deceived? I expected a Legate, I found a Herald! Shakespeare introduced a pun into the Hamlet second quarto (Q2) of 1604/5 to mock the offending ambassador. The passage of time and a compositor's error in the first folio (F1) edition of 1623 obscured the reference to the 1597 diplomatic scandal. This essay explains the incident, the pun that it generated, and the consequence of the printer's error.* 2. Source Documents The 1597 diplomatic incident is well documented. Eyewitness testimony of the insult and Elizabeth's reaction is in a letter from Cecil to Essex.1 The Privy Council's minutes book2 and Cecil's archives preserved in Hatsfield House3 contain entries pertaining to the ambassador. ________________________ * Derived from Polonius Identified: Scandal to Pun to Gossip to Print, a thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts, accepted in December 2009 by the Department of Liberal Studies of the Graduate Center, City University of New York. It is my pleasure to acknowledge the guidance of: Professor Margaret King―my adviser for two thesis on unrecognized Hamlet metaphors; Professor Andrew Majeske―whose encouragement enabled the writing of this paper. Professor Wladyslaw Roczniak―for his kind introduction to Polish works and sources; Barbara Lekisch― for her graciously shared information about Thomas Davies; and Professor Ari Cohen―a friend of many years who is always available to read a draft, this paper is improved by his many critical suggestions.

  • Haddington House Journal 7
    Haddington House Journal, 2005 Book Reviews Dictionary of Theological Terms: A ready reference of over 800 theological and doctrinal terms. Alan Cairns. Expanded Third Edition 2002 [Original 1982], Belfast/Greenville: Ambassador Emerald International, 2002, 538 pp., hc. ISBN 1-889893-72-2 This Dictionary of Theological Terms represents a large amount of labour on the part of the author, who is obviously a scholar of no mean ability. Rev. Cairns has pastored for over forty years in Northern Ireland and South Carolina and has lectured in systematic theology in the Theological Hall of the Free Presbyterian Church. The articles are largely, but not entirely, theological and are of unequal lengths. Cairns is thoroughly Calvinistic and gives some very fine entries on the various aspects of Reformed theology. In some ways the volume is as much a handbook on theology as a dictionary of theological terms – 125 Haddington House Journal, 2005 there is an evident intention to instruct and persuade the reader. As such it is a well conceived concept, for many who would never have the opportunity to look into volumes on church history or systematic theology might very well peruse a dictionary, yet it does not have the full scope that one might expect in a dictionary. In addition, the style is lucid and suited to the ordinary reader. Frequently in the course of a discussion one is helpfully referred to other topics for additional information. The entries generally reveal a decisive point of view, even in cases where Reformed people differ. For example, the creationist view on the origin of the soul is thoroughly rejected and the Traducionist espoused as the only tolerable one.

    Understanding the Confessions The Westminster Standards + The Westminster The Westminster Confession of Shorter Catechism Faith The Westminster Standards The Westminster Larger Catechism + History and Significance ■ 1643 – 1652: The Westminster Assembly ■ From 1643 to 1648, an average of seventy ministers regularly met at Westminster Abbey in London to draft an ecclesiastical system for the churches of England, Scotland and Ireland. The Westminster Assembly was an advisory body to England’s Long Parliament. ■ Their work was an effort to balance theology, politics and the daily realities of godly living: all in the midst of a violent Civil War. ■ It had been originally called to give advice about reforming the worship, doctrine and church government of the Church of England and to revise the Thirty-Nine Articles which set out what the Church of England believed. ■ The main work of the Assembly was done in producing a number of very important documents ■ A form of church government ■ 1645: A Directory for the Worship of God replaced the Book of Common Prayer ■ 1646: A Confession of Faith ■ 1647: The Larger and Smaller Catechism for teaching Biblical truths + History and Significance ■ The Westminster Standards are considered the most influential theological documents in the history of the Presbyterian Church ■ The Confession and Catechisms have played a foundational role in defining the English-speaking stream of the Reformed theological tradition. ■ In 1729 the Confession and Catechisms became the formal confession of faith of American Presbyterians when they were adopted by the Synod of Philadelphia. ■ Despite the complex history of Presbyterian splits and reunions, they remained the doctrinal standard of the major Presbyterian denominations in America until the UPCUSA (or “northern Presbyterian Church”) embraced a new understanding of the role of confessions with the adoption of a Book of Confessions in 1967.
