Abstract Page 1 Text -- "Mapping Significance" Page 2 Bibliography Page 39 11 Abstract for "Mapping Significance" This study examines the use oftopography as a stylistic device in the Jacobean City Comedies. Beginningwith an examination ofthe critical history of this device and its relevance to current New Historical approaches to literary criticism, the paper then focuses specific attention on Westward Hoe, Eastward Hoe, and Northward Hoe, three collaborative City Comedies whose geographic· sensitivity with respect to the London river trade is revealed in their titles. The authors' employed the language ofposition and direction to provide relevance and depth to their plots and their characterizations. The authors portray London as a hub ofvirtue surrounded by the relative "viciousness" ofthe Suburbs and the Liberties. This characterization ofLondon as the center ofvirtue rests on a set of values valorizing the capitalistic principles offree trade and private property.

  • The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the Plays of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas
    The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the plays of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas. A submission for the degree of doctor of philosophy by Stephen David Collins. The Department of History of The University of York. June, 2016. ABSTRACT. Families transact their relationships in a number of ways. Alongside and in tension with the emotional and practical dealings of family life are factors of an essentially moral nature such as loyalty, gratitude, obedience, and altruism. Morality depends on ideas about how one should behave, so that, for example, deciding whether or not to save a brother's life by going to bed with his judge involves an ethical accountancy drawing on ideas of right and wrong. It is such ideas that are the focus of this study. It seeks to recover some of ethical assumptions which were in circulation in early modern England and which inform the plays of the period. A number of plays which dramatise family relationships are analysed from the imagined perspectives of original audiences whose intellectual and moral worlds are explored through specific dramatic situations. Plays are discussed as far as possible in terms of their language and plots, rather than of character, and the study is eclectic in its use of sources, though drawing largely on the extensive didactic and polemical writing on the family surviving from the period. Three aspects of family relationships are discussed: first, the shifting one between parents and children, second, that between siblings, and, third, one version of marriage, that of the remarriage of the bereaved.

  • Playwright and Minister
    PLAYWRIGHT AND MAN OF GOD: RELIGION AND CONVENTION IN THE COMIC PLAYS OF JOHN MARSTON by Blagomir Georgiev Blagoev A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Blagomir Georgiev Blagoev (2010) PLAYWRIGHT AND MAN OF GOD: RELIGION AND CONVENTION IN THE COMIC PLAYS OF JOHN MARSTON Blagomir Georgiev Blagoev Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto 2010 ABSTRACT John Marston’s literary legacy has inevitably existed in the larger-than-life shadows of his great contemporaries William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. In the last two centuries, his works were hardly taken on their own terms but were perceived instead in overt or implicit comparison to Shakespeare’s or Jonson’s. As a result, Marston’s plays acquired the lasting but unfair image of haphazard concoctions whose cheap sensationalism and personal satire often got them in trouble with the authorities. This was the case until recently, especially with Marston’s comic drama. Following revisionist trends, this study sets out to restore some perspective: it offers a fresh reading of Marston’s comic plays and collaborations—Antonio and Mellida, What You Will, Jack Drum’s Entertainment, The Dutch Courtesan, The Malcontent, Parasitaster, Eastward Ho, and Histrio-Mastix—by pursuing a more nuanced contextualization with regard to religious context and archival evidence. The first central contention here is that instead of undermining political and religious authority, Marston’s comic drama can demonstrate consistent conformist and conservative affinities, which imply a seriously considered agenda. This study’s second main point is that the perceived failures of Marston’s comic plays—such as tragic ii elements, basic characterization, and sudden final reversals—can be plausibly read as deliberate effects, designed with this agenda in mind.

McKimpson Doctor of Philosophy Department of English March 2016 Title: Going Commercial: Agency in 17th Century English Drama This dissertation’s aim is to reveal how essential economic mechanics were to playwrights when it came to depicting agency. Rising commercialization in the seventeenth century prompted playwrights to appropriate market behaviors in London as a new discourse for agency. Commerce serves as a metaphor for every part of daily life, and a new kind of “commercial” agency evolves that predicates autonomy upon the exchange networks in which a person participates. Initially, this new agency appears as a variation on the trickster. By the end of the century, playwrights have created a new model for autonomy and a new kind of hero to employ it: the entrepreneur.

  • Finding Refuge in King Lear: from Brexit to Shakespeare's European
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 19 (34), 2019; http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2083-8530.19.07 ∗ Stephen O’Neill Finding Refuge in King Lear: From Brexit to Shakespeare’s European Value Abstract: This article considers how Shakespeare’s King Lear has become a Brexit play across a range of discourses and media, from theatre productions and journalism to social media. With its themes of division and disbursement, of cliff edges and tragic self- immolation, Lear is the Shakespearean play that has been turned to as metaphor and analogy for the UK’s decision following the 23 June 2016 referendum to leave the European Union. Reading this presentist application of Shakespeare, the article attends to Shakespeare as itself a discourse through which cultural ideas, both real and imaginary, about Brexit and the EU are negotiated. It asks how can we might remap Lear in this present context―what other meanings and histories are to be derived from the play, especially in Lear’s exile and search for refuge, or in Cordelia’s departure for and return from France? Moving from a consideration of a Brexit Lear to an archipelagic and even European Lear, this article argues that Shakespeare is simultaneously a site of supranational connections and of a desire for values of empathy and refuge that reverberate with debates about migration in Europe. Keywords: Shakespeare; Brexit; EU; Maps; Archipelago; Presentism; Refuge. Give me the map there. (Shakespeare, King Lear, Act 1, Scene 1, line 35)1 This is like a Shakespearean tragedy where everyone is trying to do what is right.

    The Absence of America on the Early Modern Stage by Gavin R. Hollis A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Valerie J. Traub, Chair Professor Michael C. Schoenfeldt Associate Professor Susan M. Juster Associate Professor Susan Scott Parrish © Gavin Hollis 2008 To my parents ii Acknowledgements In an episode of The Simpsons, Marge urges Bart not to make fun of graduate students because “they’ve just made a terrible life choice.” This may be true, but one of the many advantages of this “life choice” is that I have met, been inspired by, and become firm friends with an array of people on both sides of the pond. The first debt I owe is to my advisors at the University of Michigan, who have seen this project through its many stages of confusion and incoherence. Mike Schoenfeldt, Scotti Parrish, and Sue Juster have been supportive, critical, rigorous, inventive, and excellent company. My biggest debt of gratitude is owed however to Valerie Traub, the chair of my dissertation committee, whose influence on this project and has been, and I hope will continue to be, immense. I’m also indebted to faculty at Trinity Hall, Cambridge and at The Shakespeare Institute who have shaped me as a scholar before I made it these shores. I am especially grateful to Peter Holland, who, it is no exaggeration to say, taught me how to read Shakespeare. Thank you also to John Jowett, Drew Milne, and John Lennard.

  • The Mother in the Riddle of Father-Authority in Shakespeare's Final Plays
    THE MOTHER IN THE RIDDLE OF FATHER-AUTHORITY IN SHAKESPEARE'S FINAL PLAYS By KATHLEEN BROOKFIELD, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University April, 1989 ; - MASTER OF ARTS (1989) McMASTER UNIVERSITY Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Mother in the Riddle of Father-Authority in Shakespeare's Final Plays AUTHOR: Kathleen Brookfield B.A. (University of Guelph) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Joan Coldwell NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 133 i i •••. , 1"" ABSTRACT Shakespeare's final plays turn from the tragic outcome of King Lear to centre on romantic resolutions to family conflict for ruling figures. Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's ~, The Tempest, and King Henry V111 restore faith in the concept of authority as a loving father of a national family. The metaphor places female identity in a patriarchical riddle: woman as mother is taken up and cast out in an alternating sequence that confirms and rejects her place in patriarchical societies. This thesis explores the alternating presence and absence of mother figures, potential and realized, in the lives of authority figures to examine the ways in which the female image is figured and disfigured to restore faith in patriarchal and monarchical authority. In each of the plays listed, continuity for the ruling family is dependent on a female heir and, with the exception of Elizabeth in King Henry Vlll, her potential motherhood. But the mothers of the heirs are alternatively acknowledged and ignored in the chronological sequence of the plays. Detailed analysis is limited to the first three plays, but the sequence continues in the final two plays where faith in a benevolent authority figure is firmly re-established.
