Unfortunately even the record rainfall has not been enough to relieve the drought situation, but, if you will forgive the pun, there is no drought of good articles in this issue of the Bulletin. In Britain, our summer will be dominated by the Olympics and we make our contribution to the games with Compton Reeves’ excellent account of ‘sport’ in Yorkist England. It was intriguing to note that football started out as a game called camp-ball, which involved a pig’s bladder filled with peas. Ouch! The other major event is, of course, the celebration of HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. I’m sure members would wish me to record the Society’s appreciation of her sixty years of service and commitment to this country and the Commonwealth. Another person we must congratulate is our Research Officer, Lynda Pidgeon, for achieving her PhD, and also for organising, along with Anne Painter and Jacqui Emerson, such an excellent triennial conference in Loughborough. For those unable to be there, Ken Hillier’s insightful and entertaining review gives you a very good idea of what you missed. Not only were all the speakers superb, but the venue was first class. The Man Himself in this issue has a very poignant focus on Richard and, given that he is one of the few English kings whose mortal remains are lost, any attempt to rectify this, such as the ‘Looking for Richard’ project, has to be welcomed. Philippa Langley has shown considerable initiative and determination in developing and promoting this project, and we hope that the investigations will be successful. With all the work that she and others have put into the project, raising funds not being the least of it, it deserves to do much for the reputation of the Society – it’s original research being put to an original use. In the News and Reviews section, we report on more performances of Shakespeare’s Richard III, including one in Mandarin! It is pleasing, therefore, to have an article about a play that takes a positive view of the king, and we are very grateful to Robert Fripp for his fascinating article about his play Dark Sovereign. We welcome the appointment of Dorothea Preis as the Bulletin’s first Australasian Correspondent, which reinforces our status as an international society. It is good news too that Dorothea, along with Helen Challinor, has joined the Bulletin Editorial Committee. This month, members will also receive their copy of The Ricardian, now in its fifty-first year. In it there will be an article by John Alban, Chief Archivist at the Norfolk Record Office, giving the full story of the recent discovery of Thomas Longe’s will. Longe was a soldier who fought at Bosworth so, clearly, this is an article not to miss. We are advertising for the post of Branches and Groups Liaison Officer in this issue, and I urge anyone interested in taking on this role to contact me (see page 6). In the meantime, I would like to record our grateful thanks to Angela Moreton and Pauline Pogmore, who have shared the role over the past two years. May you all have a great summer (or winter, if you are in the southern hemisphere). The Society will be busy over the next few months with our presence at the Leeds Medieval Congress in July, and Bosworth for the anniversary weekend in August and I’m sure we’re all looking forward to returning to York for our Members’ Day and AGM later in the year. I know that I’m also looking forward to another visit to the wonderful city of Bruges to see The Pageant of the Golden Tree. 2 Society News and Notices Richard III Society Members’ Day and Annual General Meeting Saturday 29 September 2012 Notice is hereby given that the 2012 Annual General Meeting of the Richard III Society will be held on Saturday 29 September at the Merchant Adventurers Hall, Fossgate, York YO1 9XD The formal business of the meeting will include reports from the Society’s officers, the presentation of the annual accounts of the Society to 31 March 2012 and the election of the Executive Committee for the coming year.

Speaker This year our speaker will be the historian and author George Goodwin who has recently published a book entitled Fatal Colours – Towton 1461: England’s Most Brutal Battle. Copies of this book will be available on the Society’s bookstall. He will be speaking on ‘Towton 1461 and the destruction of medieval kingship’. 3 Post-Meeting Dinner As set out in the March Bulletin, the Secretaries are happy to arrange an informal dinner on the Saturday evening for those members who will not be attending the Yorkshire Branch event. We are asking you to indicate on the booking form – or in any other communication registering your intention to attend the AGM – whether or not you would be interested in attending this informal dinner. There is no commitment at this stage but, if sufficient people are interested, we will look into possible venues and contact the interested parties. Registration of Attendance If you are planning to attend the AGM, please register in advance, either by using the pro-forma in the centre pages of this Bulletin or by writing or emailing to the Joint Secretaries at the postal or email address shown on the inside back cover of the Bulletin. Please do remember to let them have the full names of all those attending and to let them know if you would like to attend a post- meeting dinner. Full details and logistics for the Members’ Day and AGM will be published in the September Bulletin but, in the meantime, if you have any queries please get in touch with the Joint Secretaries.

  • Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context
    Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context PETER J. FOSS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT local document to come to light in recent years (that is, since my work of the 1980s) relevant to the location of the battle of Bosworth is a demesne terrier belonging to the Abbey of St Mary de Pratis (Leicester Abbey) identified by Professor Barrie Cox in his contribution to the archaeological survey undertaken by the Battlefields Trust in 2005–09. The document1 is dated to between 1467 and 1484 and itemises fields, furlongs and meadows in the township of Stoke Golding (‘Stoke’) at the end of the fifteenth century, on the cusp of the battle of Bosworth. I would like here to offer a brief examination of this document and, together with other local records, show how it helps to focus on the place where the battle of Bosworth was fought, and how this reflects on the context of the archaeological discoveries made in 2009. I would also like to correct and rebal- ance a number of recent misconceptions. A Leicester Abbey Demesne Terrier The document identifies three open fields – Halmorefelde, Garbrodfelde and Whytmorefelde – which can be equated roughly with later named areas (from the early seventeenth century at least) in the same parish; that is, the later-named ‘Crownehillfielde’ with Garbrodfelde, ‘Milnehillfield’ with Whytmorefelde, and Halmorefelde with the area that lay south of the manor-house and its park (the ‘Park’ and ‘Great Pasture’ marked on Trimnell’s map of 1637).2 The inference has been made, reasonably, that the change of name from Garbrodfelde to Crownehillfelde

DOÇ. DR. GÜLBÜN ONUR HAZİRLAYAN ŞEFİKA BİLGE CANTEKİNLER KONYA, 2005 ÖZET 1930ların başında Hollywood ile birlikte yükselen Amerikan Film Endüstrisi vazgeçilmez kaynakları arasında ünlü İngiliz oyun yazarı William Shakespeare'in eserlerini ilk sıraya oturtmuştur. Sessiz sinemadan günümüz üç boyutlu animasyon film dönemine geçişte klasik Shakespeare oyunları da her yeni yönetmen ve yapımcıyla birlikte farklı bir boyut kazanmıştır. Tarihsel bir trajedi olan Shakespeare'in III. Richard adlı oyunu ilk oynandığı 1590lardan günümüze kadar geçen sürede en çok sahnelenen ama en az anlaşılan oyunlardan biri olmuştur. Buna bağlı olarak III. Richard'ın seçilen üç film uyarlaması oyunu farkh yonlerden ele almışlardır. İlk film İngiliz aktör- yönetmen Sir Laurence Oliver'in 1955 film uyarlaması III. Richard, ikincisi İngiliz yönetmen Richard Loncraine'in İngiliz aktör-yönetmen Ian McKellen ile birlikte çektiği 1995 yapımı III. Richard ve sonuncusu da Amerikalı aktör Al Pacino'nun yönetip başrol oynadığı Looking For Richard (Richard'ı Aramak) adlı filmidir. Bu çalışma, seçilen üç sahne ile oyunun kahramanı olan III. Richard'ın yükseliş ve çöküşünü temel alarak üç film uyarlaması arasındaki farklılıkları değerlendirmektedir. Ayrıca, a9ihs monoloğu, kur yapma, baştan çıkarma ile savaş sahneleri incelenerek bunların Shakespeare'in metnini ne derece yansıttıkları ve bu sahnelerin birbirinden nasıl farklı olarak ele alındığını belirtmektedir. ABSTRACT Within the rise of Hollywood productions at the beginning of the 1930s, American Film Industry put the works of famous British playwright William Shakespeare at its one of the most indispensable sources.

  • King Richard Iii/Looking for Richard
    ENGLISH: KING RICHARD III/LOOKING FOR RICHARD Wherefore art thou Richard? There is no doubt that William Shakespeare’s King Richard III is relevant to twentieth century society; however, with changing contexts and values, its accessibility has been somewhat hindered. So, how do we solve this? Maise Smith explores this classic play in a contemporary environment. In his latest film, notable actor and director Al Pacino embarks on a quest in search of Richard, made famous as the Machiavellian of literary genius William Shakespeare’s King Richard III. Don’t know it? Read on. Looking for Richard follows Pacino as he questions the misunderstanding and disinterest surrounding Shakespeare’s collective work, and attempts to find contemporary meaning within King Richard III. It combines the general public’s opinion; experts conversing on Shakespeare’s context, meaning and use of techniques; and a filmic enactment of the original play. To understand the connections between the two texts, we must first look into Pacino’s purpose for creating a contemporary insight into such a classic play. The voxpops entwined throughout the movie depict the views of the American public, the overwhelming majority of whom possess a negative and ignorant perspective on his accessibility, and therefore relevance. Pacino takes it upon himself to counter this; to make Shakespeare accessible, and therefore relevant, aptly adopting the more prevalent medium of film to reflect his ideas. So, the question now evolves from “what are the connections between King Richard III and Looking for Richard?” to “what are the connections between King Richard III and the average, contemporary American viewer?” Answering the second aspect of the question invites a discussion of Pacino’s filmic choices.

King Edward IV is newly declared King, but his youngest brother, Richard (Gloucester) is resentful of Edward’s power and the general happiness of the state. Driven by ruthless ambition and embittered by his own deformity, he initiates a secret plot to take the throne by eradicating anyone who stands in his path. Richard has King Edward suspect their brother Clarence of treason and he is brought to the Tower by Brackenbury. Richard convinces Clarence that Edward’s wife, Queen Elizabeth, and her brother Rivers, are responsible for this slander and Hastings’ earlier imprisonment. Richard swears sympathy and allegiance to Clarence, but later has him murdered. Richard then interrupts the funeral procession of Henry VI to woo Lady Anne (previously betrothed to Henry VI’s deceased son, again killed by Richard). He falsely professes his love for her as the cause of his wrong doings, and despite her deep hatred for Richard, she is won and agrees to marry him.

Prescribed texts: King Richard III, William Shakespeare, c. 1593 Looking for Richard, Al Pacino, 1996 Al Pacino states in his docudrama, Looking for Richard, that he wants his film to show that Shakespeare’s King Richard III is about “how we think Opens with a quotation from and feel today.” This idea of enduring values is reinforced in the interview the text that leads to a close with the homeless man, who believes that Shakespeare “instructed us” and consideration of reshaping and a we still have lessons to learn from him about feeling and understanding. thesis about the influence of The sub-title of the film is ‘A four hundred-year-old work in progress’, context on values (directly suggesting that for Pacino there are central values and ideas in the play that connecting with words in remain relevant for contemporary audiences.

  • Shakespeare on Film- Looking for Richard
    SHAKESPEAREONFILM LOOKING FOR RICHARD Teachers’ Notes This study guide is aimed at students of GCSE English and Media, A’ level English Media and Film and GNVQ Media: Communication and Production. Areas investigated include Filming Shakespeare, Language, Documentary Styles and Representation. This series of study guides aims to provide teachers with valuableresource materials for the teaching of Shakespeare throughout the National Curriculum. Synopsis The American actor Al Pacino is the co-producer, director and star of the film ‘Looking For Richard’. His project intertwines the telling of the story of Shakespeare’s ‘Richard III’ with an intimate look at the actors’ and filmmakers’ processes as they come to grips with their characterisations and with translating their enthusiasm for the play onto film. The film ‘Looking For Richard’ follows their debates and revelations about the play, takes to the streets of New York to measure public opinion, visits the birthplace of Shakespeare and, finally, looks at a production of Richard III’. The film includes interviews with actors such as Kenneth Branagh and Vanessa Redgrave and seeks to prove that everyone can enjoy Shakespeare, and that his tales are timeless and universal. The completion of the film marks the culmination of a journey begun decades ago. when Pacino was touring colleges in the late 70’s talking to students who were reluctant to listen to Shakespeare and couldn’t see the relevance of his works. “But we would talk informally about the play and then I would read an excerpt” explains Pacino. Pacino notes, “By juxtaposing the day-to-day life of the actors and their characters with ordinary people, we attempted to create a comic mosaic - a very different Shakespeare.

Dunelm, M.A. Sheffield Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Arts University of Glasgow 2012 Dedicated to Dr Howard Thomas Miles (1931-2006) Abstract Battlefield sites are some of the most iconic locations in any nation’s store of heritage attractions and continue to capture the imagination of visitors. They have strong historic, cultural, nationalistic and moral resonances and speak to people on a national as well as a local scale. They have the power to provoke contention but at the same time foster understanding and respect through the consideration of deep moral questions. Battlefields are suffused with powerful stories of courage, sacrifice, betrayal and even cowardice. They have a strong sense of place and can provoke a range of cognitive and emotional reactions.
