  • The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the Plays of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas
    The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the plays of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas. A submission for the degree of doctor of philosophy by Stephen David Collins. The Department of History of The University of York. June, 2016. ABSTRACT. Families transact their relationships in a number of ways. Alongside and in tension with the emotional and practical dealings of family life are factors of an essentially moral nature such as loyalty, gratitude, obedience, and altruism. Morality depends on ideas about how one should behave, so that, for example, deciding whether or not to save a brother's life by going to bed with his judge involves an ethical accountancy drawing on ideas of right and wrong. It is such ideas that are the focus of this study. It seeks to recover some of ethical assumptions which were in circulation in early modern England and which inform the plays of the period. A number of plays which dramatise family relationships are analysed from the imagined perspectives of original audiences whose intellectual and moral worlds are explored through specific dramatic situations. Plays are discussed as far as possible in terms of their language and plots, rather than of character, and the study is eclectic in its use of sources, though drawing largely on the extensive didactic and polemical writing on the family surviving from the period. Three aspects of family relationships are discussed: first, the shifting one between parents and children, second, that between siblings, and, third, one version of marriage, that of the remarriage of the bereaved.

  • SARAH KENDALL Comedian/Actor
    SARAH KENDALL Comedian/Actor Australian stand-up Sarah Kendall has established herself as one of the hottest talents on the international comedy circuit. Since bursting onto the scene at the 2001 Edinburgh Festival, the London-based Aussie has performed at many of the world’s leading comedy festivals, including Montreal, Kilkenny, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Hong Kong. During the 2002 Edinburgh Festival, Sarah was the only stand up comedian to win the prestigious Herald Angel Award. The following year she performed sell-out seasons at both the Sydney Opera House and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. After a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Sarah was one of only five acts selected by NBC to perform in their ‘Edinburgh Nights’ season in New York City, followed by a run at The Berlin Comedy Festival and the Stavanger Comedy Festival in Norway. In 2004, Sarah cemented her reputation as one of the top comics in the industry by becoming the first woman in nine years to receive a prestigious Perrier Award Nomination. Following her completely sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she performed in the Perrier season at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End. Sarah’s 2006 Edinburgh Festival show Attention Seeker was nominated for a Time Out London Comedy Award, and in early 2007 Sarah toured the show throughout the UK and Europe- including Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Milan, Rome, Luxembourg, Brussels and Paris, Helsinki and Copenhagen. She returned to the Edinburgh Festival in 2007 with My Very First Kidnapping. The show won the Three Weeks Editor’s Award for Theatrical Innovation, presenting a darkly comic and true story of college initiation that went horribly wrong.

    FOODPRINT TIMELINE (in English) 1830 – 1840 Invention/historic event 1800-1850 Thanks to numerous developments in the field of infrastructure in the first half of the 19th century, more and more people can be provided with a varied supply of (fresh) foodstuffs. Fresh milk can be quickly carted into the cities, for example. 1830 The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army captures the entire island of Java. The island is now definitely part of the Dutch colonial empire. In part thanks to yields from the colonies (the ‘fruit of the East Indies’), the Netherlands is able to construct a railway network with railway bridges in the home country. 1830 First handwritten recipe of the croquette in the Netherlands. The recipe is currently owned by collector Johannes van Dam. {origineel manuscript plus een 19de eeuws kookboek / dient afgeschermd te zijn van vette vingers} 1830 Flavoured soda water becomes popular in the United States: the birth of the soft drink. 1832 In the early 1830s, the international cholera epidemic reaches the Netherlands. People contract the disease by drinking infected drinking water. A medical publication from this time notes about a certain Jacoba Janssen: ‘Na onmatig gebruik van komkommers en mosselen, zij pijn in het lijf (gevoelt), gepaard met misselijkheid, braking en veelvuldige stoelgang, welke eindelijk zodanig toeneemt, dat er niets anders dan vlokkig water onophoudelijk ontlast wordt.’ (‘After excessive consumption of cucumbers and mussels, she (felt) pain in her torso, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and recurrent bowel movements, which eventually increase to such a frequency, that nothing but flocky water is constantly excreted.’) 1836 The German chemist invents artificial fertiliser.
