Intboduction

INTBODUCTION, 11 IN its main features this History may be described as a continua- tion of " The Custo.mes of London," by Richard Arnold, from which the earlier portion, i.e. as far as the 11th year of Henry VIII., is a mere plagiarism. After that date the Chronicle becomes original, and contains much valuable information. From internal evidence it would appear to be the work of a scholar, and to have been written contemporaneously, the events being jotted down from day to day as they occurred. The characteristic of City Chronicles is maintained throughout by the adoption of the civic year, marking the term of office of each Lord Mayor instead of the regnal year of the sovereign, thus causing an apparent confusion in the chro- nology. This form was probably adopted by our author as he found it already employed by Richard Arnold, whose reign of Henry VII. he made the commencement of his history, with but slight variations, for the reasons subsequently explained. It has therefore been thought advisable to retain this peculiar division of the year in the text, but in the margin the Anno Domini and regnal years have been added in their correct places, so that the reader will experience but little inconvenience from this devia- tion from the ordinary chronology. Whether the author of the Chronicle placed the regnal year in its present position in the text as synonymous with Lord Mayor's Day, or whether it was afterwards transferred thither from the margin by the copyist, is an open question. In the earlier editions of most City Chronicles the name of the new Lord Mayor and sheriffs for the succeeding year are inserted in a blank space in the text left for this purpose in the CAMD.

CYMBELINE" in the Fllii^Slhi TI CENTURY

"CYMBELINE" IN THE fllii^SLHi TI CENTURY Bennett Jackson Submitted in partial fulfilment for the de ree of uaster of Arts in the University of Birmingham. October 1971.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. SYNOPSIS This thesis consists of an Introduction, followed by Part I (chapters 1-2) in which nineteenth- century criticism of the play is discussed, particular attention being paid to Helen Faucit's essay on Imogen, and its relationship to her playing of the role. In Part II the stags-history of Oymbcline in London is traced from 1785 to Irving's Lyceum production of 1896. Directions from promptbooks used by G-.P. Cooke, W.C. Macready, Helen Eaucit, and Samuel ±helps are transcribed and discussed, and in the last chapter the influence of Bernard Shaw on Ellen Terry's Imogen is considered in the light of their correspondence and the actress's rehearsal copies of the play. There are three appendices: a list of performances; transcriptions of two newspaper reviews (from 1843 and 1864) and one private diary (Gordon Crosse's notes on the Lyceum Gymbeline); and discussion of one of the promptbooks prepared for Charles Kean's projected production.

Simon Beattie Largely recent acquisitions To be exhibited at the ABAA Boston Virtual Book Fair 12–14 November 2020 From item 14, Niagara Paper Mills TAKING THE BISCUIT 01. ALBUM des célébrités contemporaines publié par Lefèvre- Utile Nantes [c.1901]. Oblong small folio (262 × 344 mm), pp. [22]; chromolithographed on thick dark grey paper, the leaves with ornate die-cut frames holding 56 chromolithographed cards; original embossed decorated boards, cloth spine. £950 A beautiful piece of Art Nouveau book production, in excellent condition. In 1901, the famous biscuit company Lefèvre-Utile began to issue, on its packets of biscuits, various chromolithographed cards featuring famous figures from the arts; each card (170 × 92 mm), embossed with silver or gold, bore a black-and-white photograph portrait of the celebrity—actor, artist, writer, etc.—along with a relevant colour image and a quotation from the celebrity themselves in praise of LU biscuits. The company also produced albums to house the cards. The present example has been completed (naturally, different albums might hold different cards, depending on what the owner inserted) with 48 cards of celebrities: actors Sarah Bernhardt, Eugénie Segond-Weber, Jane Hading, Gabrielle Réjane, Constant Coquelin (two different cards), Eugène Silvain, Léonie Yahne, Ève Lavallière, Suzanne Desprès, Félix Galipaux, Jules Leitner, and August Mévisto; singers Meyrianne Héglon, Marcelle Lender, Lina Landouzy, Lucienne Bréval, Berthe Soyer, Théodore Botrel, and Jeanne Raunay; dancers Carlotta Zambelli
A Knee Or Shoe Buckle from Early Modern Oulu

An object in focus: a knee or shoe buckle from early modern Oulu Prepared by: Tiina Kuokkanen, University of Oulu, Finland. This 31 mm high and 24 mm wide buckle consists of an iron frame and a pewter double tongue, which is 12 mm long. About one quarter of the frame is missing. Possible the frame may originally have been double-framed, as the small overhangs around the tongue could be part of another loop. Alternatively the small overhangs could be decoration and corrosion around it. The buckle was discovered from urban archaeological excavations at the NMKY (YMCA)1 site in the center of the town of Oulu.2 In the early days of the town this area didn't belong to the richest part of the town, but it was located just next to the cathedral. The reputation of the area improved in the next century; the oldest known inhabitant of the area Klaus Klaunpoika Jederjan, who died in 1704, was the richest merchant in the town. At the eighteenth century the nearby church block included the town hall, market place and the most houses of the most significant persons of the town. Most artifacts in the assemblage have been dated to the seventeenth century, but some artifacts are also dated to the eighteenth and to the end of the nineteenth centuries. According to the building remnants, artifacts and old maps, the area has been settled from the beginning of the seventeenth century.3 If the buckle is vertically orientated, then the orientation and the size are typical to early modern knee buckles, although the material is not and the shape is also unusual.
Impact Case Study

Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Warwick Unit of Assessment: 29 English Language and Literature Title of case study: Shakespeare in Performance: informing theatrical productions and promoting British cultural engagement 1. Summary of the impact Performance brings Shakespeare alive and each performance reveals new contexts for, and meanings to his plays. Research on Shakespeare in Performance is a core departmental activity that encompasses complementary themes and leads to impacts across a wide range of strands and fields. Warwick’s Shakespeare scholars have explored the relationship between text and performance to bring a new understanding of Shakespeare to professional theatre companies and a renewed enjoyment to public audiences. In particular, their research has impacted on theatre productions, exhibitions, and public understanding through screenings, workshops, talks, young people’s theatre and schools. 2. Underpinning research Warwick’s English Department is a leading centre for research into Shakespeare in Performance, exploring the ways in which Shakespeare is adapted and interpreted for the stage and how such representations refract and reflect social and cultural values. The research underpinning the impacts has been conducted by Professor Jonathan Bate (2003-2011), Professor Tony Howard (1973-present), Dr Paul Prescott (2005-present), Dr Stephen Purcell (2011-present), and Professor Carol Chillington Rutter (1989-present). The key themes of this research group are: 1. Minorities on stage: exploring the presence of historically under-represented and unacknowledged groups on stage In his monograph Women as Hamlet: Performance as Interpretation in Theatre, Film and Fiction (2007) Howard explores the construction of the female Hamlet in novels, plays and films.
