    Reviews of Books DIARY OF SIR ARCHIBALD JOHNSTON OF WARISTON. Vol. II. 1650- 1654. Edited from the Original Manuscript, with Notes and Intro- duction David LL.D. 8vo. by Hay Fleming, Pp. lii, 336. Demy Edinburgh : Scottish History Society. 1919. THIS is the third instalment of the Diary of Lord Wariston to be edited by the Scottish History Society. A fragment, belonging to the period from May 1639 to August 1640, was printed in a miscellaneous volume for the years 1896-97, and a more substantial portion, dealing with the years 1632-1634 and 1637-1639, was edited by Sir G. M. Paul in 1911. The present volume, covering (with gaps) the period from 1640 to 1654 ' s printed from MSS. known to exist when Sir George Paul's volume was being prepared, but, in the interval, the Society has made an unfor- tunate alteration in the appearance of its publications, and the subscriber is irritated by possessing Vol. I. of the Diary in the familiar blue binding and Vol. II. in the red of the second series, and is left to speculate what a third volume will be like should the Council decide (as we hope it will) that the rest of the MS. is worth printing. We cannot understand why there should have been, or should be, any hesitation about printing the whole Diary, subject to such wise discretion * as the editor of this volume has exercised. Will any human soul ever ' again love poor Wariston, and take pious pains with him in this world ? asked Carlyle. Dr.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

  • 1 Shakespeare and Film
    Shakespeare and Film: A Bibliographic Index (from Film to Book) Jordi Sala-Lleal University of Girona [email protected] Research into film adaptation has increased very considerably over recent decades, a development that coincides with postmodern interest in cultural cross-overs, artistic hybrids or heterogeneous discourses about our world. Film adaptation of Shakespearian drama is at the forefront of this research: there are numerous general works and partial studies on the cinema that have grown out of the works of William Shakespeare. Many of these are very valuable and of great interest and, in effect, form a body of work that is hybrid and heterogeneous. It seems important, therefore, to be able to consult a detailed and extensive bibliography in this field, and this is the contribution that we offer here. This work aims to be of help to all researchers into Shakespearian film by providing a useful tool for ordering and clarifying the field. It is in the form of an index that relates the bibliographic items with the films of the Shakespearian corpus, going from the film to each of the citations and works that study it. Researchers in this field should find this of particular use since they will be able to see immediately where to find information on every one of the films relating to Shakespeare. Though this is the most important aspect, this work can be of use in other ways since it includes an ordered list of the most important contributions to research on the subject, and a second, extensive, list of films related to Shakespeare in order of their links to the various works of the canon.

  • The Tragedy of Donald Trump's Presidency and His Indelible Blood
    The Tragedy of Donald Trump’s Presidency And His Indelible Blood Stain. (With Thanks To William Shakespeare) (Author’s Note: This is the 9th in a series of occasional political columns that I’ll be writing for CommPRO.biz until Inauguration Day, January 20. Previously, I wrote 17 political columns leading up to Election Day. FYI – My first public relations job was with a political firm, where I worked on local, statewide and presidential campaigns. In this column I opine on why President Donald John Trump is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans.) Arthur Solomon In his” Macbeth,” believed to be written in 1606, William Shakespeare wrote one of his most famous lines, having Lady Macbeth say, “Out, damned spot! out, I say!,” while not being able to wash indelible blood from her hands, which she imagined because of the horrible things she and her husband had done to satisfy their ambitions. The full title of “Macbeth,” was “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” The storyline is similar to “The Tragedy of Donald John Trump,” whose ambitions left him with a stain of indelible blood on his hands, the difference being that Trump’s actions helped kill thousand of Americans; the similarity, like “Macbeth,” being that Trump wanted to rule like a king. Only the sloth-like supporters of President Trump can truthfully believe that he is not responsible for the deaths of many Americans. His statements about the coronavirus is tantamount to pleading guilty to murder. He originally insisted that the coronavirus was a “Democratic hoax.” When a few people were infected with the disease, he said it was under control.

  • Bending the Bard: Cinematic Twists on Shakespeare with Well Over 400
    OFFICE 934 SW SALMON ST MAIL 1219 SW PARK AVE PORTLAND, OR 97205 TEL 503.221.1156 VISIT NWFILM.ORG Bending the Bard: Cinematic Twists on Shakespeare With well over 400 film and TV adaptations made of his works—more than 80 of Hamlet alone— William Shakespeare is credited as being the world’s most filmed author. And though they’re now synonymous with “high” culture, his works were always intended as popular entertainment, which is perhaps why Shakespeare and cinema have always so successfully aligned. Even when his words are amended, transposed, or pared away entirely, Shakespeare’s stories, characters, and imagery are able to translate seamlessly between countries and cultures around the world. In this spirit, and to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death, Bending the Bard: Cinematic Twists on Shakespeare presents seventeen “unconventional” cinematic adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays. Freed from restrictions of a certain time, location, or even language, the filmmakers in this series have created works that both reflect and transcend their immediate cultural origins. The films span eight countries and seven decades of filmmaking, with genres ranging from sci-fi, Western, queer cinema, war propaganda, musical, and horror. to a samurai Macbeth, a Bollywood Othello, and a Finnish neo-noir Hamlet set in a rubber duck factory. Bringing together well-known classics alongside lesser-seen adaptations, Bending the Bard celebrates these unique, inventive films as well as the powerful way in which Shakespeare’s universal stories have become a shared global language.
