Shakespeare, Middleton, Jonson, and the Idea of News The Media Players: Shakespeare, Middleton, Jonson, and the Idea of News Stephen Wittek Department of English McGill University, Montreal June 2013 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Stephen Wittek 2013 ii Abstract I argue that the early modern theatre made a significant contribution to the development of a new, more complex, idea of news that began to take root in the early seventeenth century. Unlike other means of representing current events, theatrical discourse did not present itself as true—it depended for effect on a knowing disengagement from reality, an implicit awareness that Burbage was not really Richard III and the Globe theatre was not really Bosworth Field. Compounding this formal barrier to reality, dramatists of the period typically approached topical concerns from an oblique angle, or from behind the guise of a sophisticated conceit, thus making the connection to news a matter of imaginative interpretation, or play. Paradoxically, however, such techniques did not fence the theatre off from news culture but in fact made it a unique space where formative thinking about the news could flourish, a space where the concept of news could become manifest from an elucidating distance and could accrue value in an emotionally and intellectually resonant register. Chapter One offers a parallel history of theatre and news and then moves to a discussion of how both forms contributed to a shift in early modern publicity. In the three chapters that follow, this historical and theoretical framework is applied to readings of The Winter’s Tale (Shakespeare), A Game at Chess (Middleton), and The Staple of News (Jonson). Overall, the analysis shows how the theatre of Shakespeare, Middleton, and Jonson enriched news culture by providing a forum where a rigorous, but iii playful, re-thinking of news could develop—thereby opening up new opportunities for participation in public life. iv Résumé Dans cette thèse, j’avance que théâtre moderne a permis un progrès significatif dans le développement d’une conception nouvelle et plus complexe de l’information, telle qu’elle commença à prendre forme au début du 17ème siècle. Contrairement à d’autres sources de diffusion de l’information, le discours théâtral ne se prétendait pas comme vrai – il reposait plutôt sur un désengagement voulu de la réalité, sur un savoir implicite que Burbage n’était pas vraiment Richard III et que le théâtre du Globe n’était pas Bosworth Field. En amplifiant cet écart formel avec réalité, les dramaturges de la période abordaient des sujets d’actualité de manière oblique, ou sous le déguisement d’une métaphore sophistiquée, faisant ainsi du lien avec l’actualité matière au jeu interprétatif ou imaginatif. Cependant, de façon paradoxale, le retrait de la réalité opéré par le théâtre n’a pas mis ce dernier à l’écart de la culture de l’information, mais en a fait un espace unique où une réflexion formatrice sur l’information a pu se développer, un espace où les idées et les questions fondamentales au concept d’information ont pu prendre forme grâce à une distance éclairante, et acquérir une valeur d’un registre aussi bien émotionnel qu’intellectuel. Le premier chapitre relate en parallèle l’histoire du théâtre et celle de l’information, puis explore la manière dont tous deux ont contribué à opérer un tournant dans la médiatisation à l’ère moderne. Dans les trois chapitres suivants, ce cadre historique et théorique est appliqué à la lecture de The Winter’s Tale (Shakespeare), A Game at Chess (Middleton), et The Staple of News (Jonson). Notre analyse montre finalement v comment le théâtre de Shakespeare, Middleton et Johnson a enrichi la culture de l’information en offrant un forum où réflexion aussi rigoureuse que ludique sur l’information a pu se développer, créant ainsi de nouvelles occasions de participer à la vie publique. vi Acknowledgements This study was carried out with a scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Additional financial support came in the form of research assistantships and teaching assignments in the Department of English at McGill. I want to express my sincere gratitude to these institutions and to the many people who have helped to make the past four years a profoundly rewarding experience. Paul Yachnin has been a superb academic supervisor and a tremendous source of inspiration, encouragement, and friendship—providing me with an ideal model of academic generosity and excellence. I am also very grateful for the help and support I have received from Professor Kenneth Borris, Professor Wes Folkerth, Professor Allan Hepburn, Professor Michael Van Dussen, Dr Joshua McEvilla, and the members of my PhD cohort: Claudine Gélinas-Faucher, Danielle Barkley, Kaitlyn Pinder, Renaud Roussel, Anna Sigg, and Anna Lewton-Brain. On a personal note, I also want to thank my mother, Coleen Wittek, and my grandparents, Dorothy and Samuel Close, who taught me how to work hard and love even harder. Above all, however, I am grateful for the wit and loving companionship of my very gracious and savvy wife, Heejung Yoon, who recognized potential in me that I myself did not know I had—this accomplishment is as much hers as it is mine (사랑해요). Finally, I want to thank my son, William Wittek, and my daughter, Lily Wittek. To be honest, neither of you were any help at all, but you provided limitless joy and comfort, making the overall experience way more fun than any graduate student has a right to expect. vii Contents Abstract ii Résumé iv Acknowledgements vi List of Illustrations ix I.

Introduction: Early modern drama and the idea of news This study builds a case for the central, formative function of theatre in the news culture of early modern England. In an analysis that combines literary criticism with historical research and recent developments in public sphere theory, I argue that the unique discursive space created by commercial theatre helped to foster the conceptual framework that made news possible. On this view, the animating force behind the emergence of news culture lies, not so much in any specific technology, but in the sophisticated idea of ‘the news’ itself: the distinctly modern notion of ephemeral, narratively-structured, ostensibly truthful discourse standing in relation to a continuous, public present. In other words, the analysis here puts emphasis on the innovative concept of news—an approach that moves away from histories that explain the emergence of news as a product of advances in print technology. News was not a latent phenomenon just waiting for print to come along and make it happen, nor was it an idea constituted exclusively or even primarily by print media. Rather, the evolution of news-related thinking derived force and direction from various, interconnected forms of publicity—theatre in particular. The unique role theatre played in the development of news hinges on the distinctive position it took up in regard to topicality and the truth. Unlike other means of representing current events, theatrical discourse did not present itself as true—it depended for effect on a knowing disengagement from reality, an implicit awareness that Burbage was not really Richard III and the Globe theatre was not really Bosworth Field. Compounding this formal barrier to reality, dramatists of 2 the period typically approached topical concerns from an oblique angle, or from behind the guise of a sophisticated conceit, thus making the connection to news a matter of imaginative interpretation, or play.

BEN JONSON AND THE M IR R O R : FO LLY KNOWS NO GENDER Sherry Broadwell Niewoonder, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2001 Ben Jonson, Renaissance poet and playwright, has been the subject of renewed evaluation in recent scholarship, particularly new historicism and cultural materialism. The consensus among some current scholars is that Jonson overtly practices and advocates misogyny in his dramas. Such theorists suggest that Jonson both embodies and promulgates the anti­ woman rhetoric of his time, basing their position on contemporary cultural material, religious tracts, and the writings of King James I.

College Library TO CLARK SUTHERLAND NORTHUP AS A TOKEN OF ESTEEM 1092850 PREFACE The dramatic records of the Office of the Revels during the reigns of Edward VI, Mar>', and Elizabeth have been admirably edited with full indexes and notes by Professor Albert Feuillerat; but the records of the Office during the reigns of James I, Charles I, and Charles TI remain either unedited or scattered in mis- cellaneous volumes, none of which is indexed. Every scholar working in the field of the Tudor-Stuart drama must have felt the desirability of having these later records printed in a more accessible form. In the present volume I have attempted to bring together the dramatic records of Sir Henry Herbert, during whose long administration the Office of the Revels attained the height of its power and importance. These records, most of them preserved through Herbert's own care, consist of his office-book, covering the period of 1 622-1 642, a few documents relating to the same period, and miscellaneous documents relating to the management of the Office after the Restoration.

  • Performing Relevance Revised
    Performing Relevance/ Relevant Performances: Shakespeare, Jonson, Hitchcock To begin: two juxtapositions. The top half of the back page of The Times for 19 April 1945 features five photographs from the recently liberated concentration camps. In one an emaciated man dressed in a striped prison uniform looks up from among a charnel house of bodies and half-dead inmates; one shows a truck loaded with corpses; another, rows of unburied dead prisoners with, in the distance, some stretcher-bearers working at the grim task of their interment. The captions are characterised by a sort of restrained shock. Sentences describing the provenance of the pictures are capped with short, unemotional lines about the scenes pictured: ‘Some had been beaten to death’; ‘The bodies were all terribly emaciated’. These truncated descriptions enact the seeming impossibility of commentary or interpretation. The pictures are arrestingly incongruous in the busy, varied page design. A Beefeater in a bearskin advertises ‘honest-to- goodness tobacco’ in the bottom left hand corner, the crossword puzzle and bridge problem are in their usual places, the right hand column has theatre listings and other small ads. And underneath these images of human depravity is a review of the Haymarket’s new production of Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi. No mention is made, clearly, of the context in which the production or the review appears. There are no allusions to the contemporary, although the reviewer admits that the play cannot ‘discard its thwarting modernity’. What is striking, though, is the echo in the review of the images above it. Noting as a measure of the production’s success ‘that we do not smile at the heap of corpses on which the curtain falls’, the review suggests that the play’s depiction of ‘tortures’ – presumably the death of the Duchess, or 1 the depiction of the waxwork models of her husband and children – ‘are perhaps more decorative than horrible.

  • Shakespeare, Jonson, and the Invention of the Author
    11 Donaldson 1573 11/10/07 15:05 Page 319 SHAKESPEARE LECTURE Shakespeare, Jonson, and the Invention of the Author IAN DONALDSON Fellow of the Academy THE LIVES AND CAREERS OF SHAKESPEARE and Ben Jonson, the two supreme writers of early modern England, were intricately and curiously interwoven. Eight years Shakespeare’s junior, Jonson emerged in the late 1590s as a writer of remarkable gifts, and Shakespeare’s greatest theatri- cal rival since the death of Christopher Marlowe. Shakespeare played a leading role in the comedy that first brought Jonson to public promi- nence, Every Man In His Humour, having earlier decisively intervened— so his eighteenth-century editor, Nicholas Rowe, relates—to ensure that the play was performed by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, who had ini- tially rejected the manuscript.1 Shakespeare’s name appears alongside that of Richard Burbage in the list of ‘principal tragedians’ from the same company who performed in Jonson’s Sejanus in 1603, and it has been con- jectured that he and Jonson may even have written this play together.2 During the years of their maturity, the two men continued to observe Read at the Academy 25 April 2006. 1 The Works of Mr William Shakespeare, ed.

  • Book Review: Ben Jonson. Every Man out of His Humour. Ed Helen
    118 Book Reviews characterize these accounts. Where Dawson reads Henry V, Julius Caesar, and Hamlet to make his case, Yachnin offers up The Staple of News, A Game at Chess, and All’s Well That Ends Well. Ironically, it is in this chapter that the two critics’ views seem most compatible. Both agree that the playhouses took special interest in representations of representation. For Yachnin, that process looks forward to the newspaper and scandal sheet; for Dawson, it looks backward to the cultural cohesion of rituals in catholic England. What’s refreshing about this wonderful book is its intellectual seriousness. Both authors are aware that positions, as well as ideas, have consequences. So while it is possible to finish this study and grant to both authors their respective points, it is unlikely that a serious reader will feel comfortable saying (merely) that the heterogeneous audiences of early modern London probably featured some Dawson-like playgoers and some Yachnin-like ones. Although such may be true, it is not enough. The stakes, as Dawson and Yachnin realize, are higher than easy rhetorical compromise admits. Well written and cogently argued, The Culture of Playgoing is one of the most exciting books on its topic in recent years. It deserves a wide audience, and Cambridge University Press would do the field (and itself) a favor by reissuing it immediately in paperback form. Anyone interested in the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and in the history of performance, will find its arguments stimulating. Douglas Bruster Ben Jonson. Every Man Out of His Humour.

  • Media Coverage Report | March 15 – August 15, 2020
    Media Coverage Report | March 15 – August 15, 2020 OVERVIEW The COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic created many challenges for our local community of faith in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. For the first time in the history of the Archdiocese, parishes and schools closed to the public. The situation developed quickly, but also created a unique evangelization opportunity due to heightened media interest on the steps taken by the Archdiocese to address the crisis. The heightened press interested has created opportunities to reach the faithful directly to provide comfort and solace at a time of social distancing. Through Angelus News, digital media and the secular and Catholic press, the Archdiocese developed a comprehensive communications approach that reiterated the message that while the doors of churches were closed, the church continued to walk with its people. Positive stories and digital content featuring the work of parishes, schools, religious education, cemeteries and other ministries effectively reached the faithful and the general public through the press and through the @lacatholics and @angelusnews social channels. It also provided the opportunity to amplify the Archdiocese’s social outreach of content on @lacatholics and @angelusnews through the press to those who were not already following or engaged directly with the Archdiocese or lacked digital access. Articles and social content were shared via press releases to media outlets who integrated them into their stories or shared on their social channels. With public Masses suspended to limit the impact of the contagion in our communities, it was even more important to utilize livestreaming to allow the faithful to participate in the celebration of Holy Mass safely from home.

  • John Donne and the Conway Papers a Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century
    John Donne and the Conway Papers A Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century Daniel Starza Smith University College London Supervised by Prof. H. R. Woudhuysen and Dr. Alison Shell ii John Donne and the Conway Papers A Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century This thesis investigates a seventeenth-century manuscript archive, the Conway Papers, in order to explain the relationship between the archive’s owners and John Donne, the foremost manuscript poet of the century. An evaluation of Donne’s legacy as a writer and thinker requires an understanding of both his medium of publication and the collectors and agents who acquired and circulated his work. The Conway Papers were owned by Edward, first Viscount Conway, Secretary of State to James I and Charles I, and Conway’s son. Both men were also significant collectors of printed books. The archive as it survives, mainly in the British Library and National Archives, includes around 300 literary manuscripts ranging from court entertainments to bawdy ballads. This thesis fully evaluates the collection as a whole for the first time, including its complex history. I ask three principal questions: what the Conway Papers are and how they were amassed; how the archive came to contain poetry and drama by Donne, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton and others; and what the significance of this fact is, both in terms of seventeenth-century theories about politics, patronage and society, and modern critical and historical interpretations. These questions cast new light on the early transmission of Donne’s verse, especially his Satires and verse epistles.
