That medicine will help. Impress Them with your sage psychiatry. ‘Tell them that I’m manic, that These phases alternate with gloom. When others stood for Life, I sat. Let these statements fill the room. ‘And if perhaps you find one doubt, Resist your observations, then, Let the final clincher out: Tell them that I favored men. ‘But when you’ve thus disposed of me, And kept yourself from facing death, Do not think we’re finished. See, I await your dying breath.’ Richard Geyer aris 1856 Alphabet of Death ’s , repro P Frame from Hans Holbein Editorial Welcome to Newsletter 14. It’s two years since the last issue – poor form for an annual! – but here’s evidence that something’s still astir on the Ship of Fools. Members will know that following John Beddoes’ resignation as chairman the Society is in a period of transition. The meeting on 13th March resolved that we will continue to pursue our original aim to publicise and promote the work of Thomas Lovell Beddoes. But there are still difficulties to overcome, the most urgent being to appoint a new chairman and secretary. This must be done at the AGM on 25th September (1 pm at The Devereux, 20 Devereux Court, Essex Street, The Strand, London WC2R 3JJ). We hope that by holding the meeting in London as many members as possible will be able to attend and join the discussion: the Society needs you.

  • Shakespeare's History Plays
    Robert B. Pierce Shakespeare's History Plays The Family and the State $.75 SHAKESPEARE'S HISTORY PLAYS THE FAMILY AND THE STATE By Robert B. Pierce The concept of the family as a microcosm of the state dates back to antiquity. It was revived in the Renaissance, when it became a common sen­ timent in the literature of Elizabethan England and provided William Shakespeare with a pub­ lic basis for his art. Mr. Pierce systematically examines the nine history plays of the 1590s in the approximate sequence of their composition. He discovers in them a constant elaboration and rich develop­ ment of the correspondence between the family and the state into an ever more subtle and effec­ tive dramatic technique. Through a careful analysis of the language, characterization, and plots of the chronicles, Mr. Pierce demonstrates how the family served as an analogue of those grave events that marked the turbulent reign of King John and the subsequent terrible century of civil strife and wars with the French that haunted the imaginations of En­ glishmen more than a hundred years later. At times, he finds, Shakespeare depicts the family as a miniature of the kingdom, and the life of the family becomes a direct or ironic comment on the larger life of the commonwealth. At others, the family is inextricably bound up in a political situation by means of characters who are por­ trayed both in their public roles and as members of their families. No dramatist treating of those persons and events that are the stuff of the chronicles could avoid depicting the family; for kings and princes are necessarily fathers and sons, husbands and brothers.
