  • Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance
    Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance Harold Toliver LYRIC PROVINCES IN THE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE Harold Toliver Poets are by no means alone in being pre­ pared to see new places in settled ways and to describe them in received images. Outer regions will be assimilated into dynasties, never mind the hostility of the natives. The ancient wilderness of the Mediterranean and certain biblical expectations of what burning bushes, gods, and shepherds shall exist every­ where encroach upon the deserts of Utah and California. Those who travel there see them and other new landscapes in terms of old myths of place and descriptive topoi; and their descriptions take on the structure, to­ nality, and nomenclature of the past, their language as much recollection as greeting. In Professor Toliver's view, the concern of the literary historian is with, in part, that ever renewed past as it is introduced under the new conditions that poets confront, and is, therefore, with the parallel movement of liter­ ary and social history. Literature, he reminds us, is inseparable from the rest of discourse (as the study of signs in the past decade has made clearer), but is, nevertheless, distinct from social history in that poets look less to common discourse for their models than to specific literary predecessors. Careful observ­ ers of place, they seek to bring what is distinct and valuable in it within some sort of verbal compass and relationship with the speaker. They bring with them, however, formulas and tf > w if a loyalty to a cultural heritage that both com­ plicate and confound the lyric address to place.

Death, Inheritance and the Family: A Study of Literary Responses to Inheritance in Seventeenth- Century England by Sarah McKenzie A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English University of Warwick, Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies May 2003 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that a study of literary genres from the seventeenth century pertaining to death and inheritance in the family yields evidence about the way in which inheritance was understood and interpreted by early modern society; these genres include parental legacies, women writers’ interpretations of Genesis, Anne Clifford’s personal account of her struggle to gain her inheritance, plays (comedies and tragedies) and elegies on the death of children. A study of literature related to the topics of wills, legacies and lineage imparts insight into early modern concepts of family relations and parental roles, and challenges Lawrence Stone’s views on the late development of the affective family. The textual legacies of Elizabeth Joceline, Elizabeth Grymeston, Dorothy Leigh and Edward Burton, and the elegies of Ben Jonson and Katherine Philips will be used to demonstrate emotive parenting and the extension of parental roles beyond the death of the parent or beyond the death of an heir.

  • So We Are Talking Roughly About Twenty‐Five Years of Theatre. Roughly, Because the Tendencies That Characteriz
    So we are talking roughly about twenty‐five years of theatre. Roughly, because the tendencies that characterize Jacobean theatre started before James I came to the throne (1603, died 1625) around the year 1599 – the year when the Lord Chamberlain’s Men relocated their theatre from Shoreditch to Southwark (on the southern bank of the Thames) and called it “The Globe”, the year when the private theatre of Paul’s boys was reopened, and a little later the Lord Chamberlain’s Men got hold of the Blackfriars theatre. These developments brought about an unprecedented avalanche of play‐writing and dramaturgical innovation that made the Jacobean period one of the most dynamic and spectacular periods in theatre history as we know it. The period also established a new generation of playwrights: the most prominent of whom are Ben Jonson, John Marston, George Chapman, Thomas Middleton, John Webster, Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher – who worked alongside, competed with, collaborated and learned from William Shakespeare – the major figure that continued to sway the English stage from the Elizabethan well into the Jacobean period. 1 Of course, at the beginning of the period the most successful playwright in London was Shakespeare. So far, his fame rested mainly on the series of history plays: the two tetralogies (Henry VI, Parts I‐III and Richard III; and Richard II, Henry IV, Parts I‐II and Henry V) and King John; and his witty romantic comedies that Queen Elizabeth reportedly liked so much: e.g. Love’s Labour’s Lost, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It.

  • Ben Jonson: Renaissance Playwright, Renaissance Man
    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > Ben Jonson: Renaissance Playwright, Renaissance Man Ben Jonson: Renaissance Playwright, Renaissance Man Ben Jonson 1572-1637) was an early modern playwright whose popularity rivaled that of Shakespeare or Marlowe. He spent multiple stints in prison, wrote masques in which the Queen of England and Prince of Wales performed, and was crowned England's first poet laureate. Yet for all this in 1572 he was born into relative poverty. His father died shortly before his birth, and his mother remarried a bricklayer. Luckily for the clever young boy, an unidentified friend paid for Jonson to attend Westminster School. After leaving school Jonson attempted to join his stepfather as a bricklayer, but the profession didn't take; legend has it young Ben recited Homer while building the walls of Lincoln Inn. In the 1590s Jonson served in the armed forces in the Low Countries, and in November 1594 Jonson married a woman he described as "a shrew, yet honest." It's not certain when Jonson entered the theatre, but by 1597 he was an actor for the Admiral's Men. It was also in this year that his earliest surviving play, The Case is Altered [1], was performed by Pembroke's Company. [2] By George Vertue, after Gerard van Honthorst [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Too Witty for his Own Good Jonson's sharp tongue got him into no end of trouble: In summer of 1597 the satirical comedy The Isle of Dogs, which Jonson co-wrote with Thomas Nashe, was performed, and the play upset the powers that be.

Though no longer at OSU, Dr. Paul Klemp introduced me to Jonson and was many things during my pre-dissertation years: first advisor, research editor, willing ear, literate Lovewit, eternal help. I benefitted greatly from his Jonson class and from the comments of my classmate, [Dr.] Steve Robbins. Dr. Edward Jones, who became my advisor upon Dr. Klemp's departure, has been an indispensable aid. Besides helping me choose my topic, he counseled me throughout the composition of the dissertation. Though he might have fed many of my drafts to Vulcan, he continued to read, edit, and guide. Persevering with a gentle manner and a Senecan patience, Dr. Jones worked hard and remained ever hopeful. -~~ The head of my committee, Dr. Jeffrey Walker, has been a valuable source of continuity and administrative skill. This dynamic man has been a personal as well as a professional inspiration: benevolent yet tough, he exemplifies wisdom and youth.

  • KEY POETRY TERMS with Examples from the Clarke/Heaney and Pre-1914 Literature Poems
    KEY POETRY TERMS With examples from the Clarke/Heaney and pre-1914 Literature poems. Alliteration What is it? The repetition of words beginning with the same letter. What is its effect? To draw attention to a particular sound and/or movement, to intensify meaning, or to bind words in a sentence together. Example a coarse croaking that I had not heard [‘Death of a Naturalist’]; worse than for the woman who waits … [‘Baby-sitting’] Allusion (see also Connotation) What is it? A word or phrase that suggests something else – often a story or idea that many people know. What is its effect? If many people can relate to it, it allows you to connect with the subject matter of the poem. Example Then the second lamb slips through her opened door, the stone rolled away. [‘A Difficult Birth, Easter 1998’ – the allusion here is to Christ’s resurrection; the stone being rolled away from his tomb at Easter- tide to show that he had risen and gone.] Ambiguity What is it? A word or phrase that could mean more than one thing. What is its effect? To get the reader thinking about the different possibilities in the word/phrase – perhaps both are relevant to the poem. Example As you ask may you skate In the dark, for one more hour. [‘Catrin’. Does the poet mean actually in the dark of night, or does she imply that she as the mother is in the dark about her daughter/where she is going?] ‘Baby-sitting’, ‘A Difficult Birth, Easter 1998’, ‘Catrin’, ‘The Field-Mouse’, ‘On the Train’, ‘Cold Knap Lake’ copyright © Gillian Clarke ‘Mid-Term Break’, ‘Follower’, ‘Death of a Naturalist’, ‘Storm on the Island’ copyright © Seamus Heaney © 2006 www.teachit.co.uk 5120-2.doc Page 1 of 9 KEY POETRY TERMS Anthropomorphism What is it? Giving human characteristics to an animal.
