  • Looking for Sex in Shakespeare Stanley Wells Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521540399 - Looking for Sex in Shakespeare Stanley Wells Frontmatter More information Looking for Sex in Shakespeare Stanley Wells is one of the best-known and most versatile of Shakespeare scholars. His new book, written with characteris- tic verve and accessibility, considers how far sexual meaning in Shakespeare’s writing is a matter of interpretation by actors, directors and critics. Tracing interpretations of Shakespearian bawdy and innuendo from eighteenth-century editors to mod- ern scholars and critics, Wells pays special attention to recent sexually oriented studies of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, once regarded as the most innocent of its author’s plays. He con- siders the sonnets, some of which are addressed to a man, and asks whether they imply same-sex desire in the author, or are quasi-dramatic projections of the writer’s imagination. Finally, he looks at how male-to-male relationships in the plays have been interpreted as sexual in both criticism and performance. Stanley Wells’s lively, provocative and open-minded new book will appeal to a broad readership of students, theatregoers and Shakespeare lovers. stanley wells has devoted most of his life to teaching, edit- ing and writing about Shakespeare and his contemporaries. He was Director of the Shakespeare Institute from 1987 to 1997. He is General Editor of the Oxford editions of Shakespeare, edited King Lear for the multi-volume Oxford Shakespeare, and has been associated with the New Penguin edition, for which he edited several plays, since its inception. His publications in- clude Shakespeare: A Dramatic Life, Shakespeare: For All Time (2002)and(withPaulEdmondson)Shakespeare’sSonnets(forth- coming in 2004).

  • In the Western Mediterranean, 1703–1708
    international journal of military history and historiography 39 (2019) 7-33 IJMH brill.com/ijmh Britain, Austria, and the “Burden of War” in the Western Mediterranean, 1703–1708 Caleb Karges* Concordia University Irvine, California [email protected] Abstract The Austrian and British alliance in the Western Mediterranean from 1703 to 1708 is used as a case study in the problem of getting allies to cooperate at the strategic and operational levels of war. Differing grand strategies can lead to disagreements about strategic priorities and the value of possible operations. However, poor personal rela- tions can do more to wreck an alliance than differing opinions over strategy. While good personal relations can keep an alliance operating smoothly, it is often military necessity (and the threat of grand strategic failure) that forces important compro- mises. In the case of the Western Mediterranean, it was the urgent situation created by the Allied defeat at Almanza that forced the British and Austrians to create a work- able solution. Keywords War of the Spanish Succession – Coalition Warfare – Austria – Great Britain – Mediter- ranean – Spain – Strategy * Caleb Karges obtained his MLitt and PhD in Modern History from the University of St An- drews, United Kingdom in 2010 and 2015, respectively. His PhD thesis on the Anglo-Austrian alliance during the War of the Spanish Succession received the International Commission of Military History’s “André Corvisier Prize” in 2017.

  • Apocryphilia
    Apocryphilia Simon Matthews Our Island Story Before the teaching of history to children in this country descended to its current formula of dinosaurs + Romans + Henry VIII + Hitler (with a side helping of slavery) the past was taught in a rather different way. Many who were at primary school pre-1980 will be familiar with it: Our Island Story, the carefully nuanced account of how ‘the British Isles’ produced the greatest and most progressive people in the world. Written in 1905 it was, remarkably (or not?), still a common textbook 70 years later. It’s durability, popularity and influence, over a century later, has been recently cited by prime minister David Cameron and the centre-right think tank Civitas as an example of something they would like to see updated and reintroduced. Why is this? The Our Island Story narrative certainly has its attractions. Stressing national unity, in which Englishness is overwhelmingly predominant, it gives key early roles to Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror – the latter not, of course, English – with the repelling of foreign invasions and conquests (nothing since 1066) a critical factor, highlighted by the dispersal of the Spanish Armada in 1588 and, latterly, the defeat of Napoleon (1815) and Hitler (1940). British/English excursions into Europe are seen as the brilliantly executed ventures of plucky underdogs (Agincourt, Waterloo and Dunkirk are typical here) against overwhelming odds. The literary backdrop, from Shakespeare, Milton, Pepys, Dickens etc., embellishes this. Milton appears more or less in tandem with Cromwell, both as exemplars of grimly moral, upstanding and typically English parliamentarians – refusing to bow down before Rome and ensuring the lasting legitimacy of the House of Commons.....this being portrayed throughout the book as the finest and fairest legislature in the world.

  • The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855
    HISTORY’S IMPRINT: THE COLONIAL BOOK AND THE WRITING OF AMERICAN HISTORY, 1790-1855 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay E.M. DiCuirci, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Hewitt, Adviser Jared Gardner Susan Williams Copyright by Lindsay Erin Marks DiCuirci 2010 ABSTRACT “History’s Imprint: The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855” investigates the role that reprinted colonial texts played in the development of historical consciousness in nineteenth-century America. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, antiquarians and historians began to make a concerted effort to amass and preserve an American archive of manuscript and print material, in addition to other artifacts and “curiosities” from the colonial period. Publishers and editors also began to prepare new editions of colonial texts for publication, introducing nineteenth-century readers to these historical artifacts for the first time. My dissertation considers the role of antiquarian collecting and historical publishing—the reprinting of colonial texts—in the production of popular historical narratives. I study the competing narratives of America’s colonial origins that emerged between 1790 and 1855 as a result of this new commitment to historicism and antiquarianism. I argue that the acts of selecting, editing, and reprinting were ideologically charged as these colonial texts were introduced to new audiences. Instead of functioning as pure reproductions of colonial books, these texts were used to advocate specific religious, political, and cultural positions in the nineteenth century.

  • The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College Department of History the Constitution of 1812
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY THE CONSTITUTION OF 1812: AN EXERCISE IN SPANISH CONSTITUTIONAL THOUGHT ALLISON MUCK SPRING 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Amy Greenberg Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of History and Women's Studies Thesis Supervisor Michael Milligan Senior Lecturer in History, Director of Undergraduate Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT In March of 1812, the Spanish representative assembly known as the Cortes promulgated a decidedly liberal constitution in the midst of Napoleonic invasion. The Constitution of 1812 governed Spain for the next two years until its abrogation upon the return of Fernando VII. This momentary interval of liberalism appears as an unexpected development in the history of Spain. Undoubtedly, the Constitution’s liberal, progressive, and reformist sentiments differ greatly from the conservative national culture and traditional institutions of Spain at this moment in history. This thesis addresses the causes leading Spain to adopt a constitution intent on empowering the representative Cortes, limiting the Spanish monarchy, and unifying the Spanish nation. Inherent in this project is an analysis of the distinctly Spanish brand of liberalism which attempted to combine both liberal and nationalist sentiments within the Constitution’s provisions. The rhetoric of the Constitution’s drafters claims to be attempting to revive an ancient Spanish constitution and system of government where strong representative institutions and a written constitution upheld the individual rights of the Spanish people.
