AND ADDITIONAL NOTES BY SAMUEL WELLER SINGER. " CHISWICK ^rtnuti fm ©. aityittingljam, FOR R. TR1PHOOK, OLD BOND STREET, LONDON. Bf DCCC XXIV. THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. When these Satires were shown to Pope at a late period of his poetical career, he was so sensible of their merit as to wish he had seen 1 them sooner . I doubt not that every reader who takes them up for the first time will be surprised that so much sterling good sense, such nervous language, and such masterly ver- sification should not have commanded more popularity. Yet nothing can be less true than Warton's remark, that Hall is better known as a poet than as a prelate or polemic. The Ser- mons and Meditations of the divine retained 1 Warburton told Warton, that in a copy of Hall's Satires in Pope's library, the whole first satire of the sixth book was corrected in the margin, or interlined in Pope's own hand ; and that Pope had written at the head of that satire optima satira. Vi THE EDITOR S PREFACE. their popularity, while the youthful effusions of the poet possessed but limited fame, and were indeed almost unknown to any but anti- quarian poetical readers. This may in some measure be accounted for from the circum- stance of the obscurity which naturally attends upon satire ; as the follies which are castigated, and the fashionable vices which are held up to ridicule fade away, the allusions are not so easily understood by a later age, as by that which it was intended to correct. Hall has heightened this obscurity by imitating the ellip- tical manner of Persius and Juvenal ; but per- haps still more by throwing over his composi- tions the veil of antiquated words and phraseo- logy, which, like his friend Spenser, he seems to have studiously affected. Indeed, following an erroneous opinion, he imagined, that a satire must necessarily be e hard of conceit, and harsh of style,' he therefore thought proper to apo- logize for ' too much stooping to the low reach of the vulgar :' and in the Prologue to Book III. he finds it necessary to answer such cavil- lers as had blamed his plain speaking. Satire, as Warton observes, specifically so called, had not its rise among us until the latter end of Elizabeth's reign. For though the long — 1 THE EDITORS PREFACE. VI allegorical Vision of-Pier's Ploughman is inter- spersed with satirical delineations of vice and folly, satire was not its primary object. Other poems had been made the vehicle of satirical allusion, and Skelton's ribaldry long since had dealt out abuse and scurrility in profusion, but satire i in its dignified and moral sense,' and on the model of the ancients, had its rise, if not with the publication of Hall, at least in his time. He boldly claims the precedence I first adventure, follow me who list, And be the second English satirist. But he was certainly anticipated by Thomas Lodge, whose Fig for Momus, published in 1593, contained four Satires, as a specimen of ' a whole centon already in his hands/ and several Epistles, in the manner of Horace. Donne, and Marston too, appear to have writ- ten about the same time, though posterior in the order of publication. What is more im- portant, however, if not the first, Hall may justly lay claim to be considered the best sa- tirist of his age, and when we remember that the writer was only twenty-three years old at the time of publication, we cannot but regret — ; Vlll THE EDITOR S PREFACE. that graver studies should have so absorbed his life, as to give him neither leisure nor inclina- tion to renew his acquaintance with the Muse. That he was not unconscious of his power for higher flights appears in several passages of the following volume ; but especially in part of the Defiance to Envy, quoted by Warton where, apostrophizing his muse, he says Would she but shade her tender brows with bay, That now lie bare in careless wilful rage; And trance herself in that sweet ecstasy, That rouseth drooping thoughts of bashful age; Though now those bays, and that aspired thought, In careless rage she sets at worse than nought. Or would we loose her plumy pinion, Manacled long with bonds of modest fear: Soon might she have those kestrels proud outgone, Whose flighty wings are dew'd with wetter air. ***** *** * Or scour the rusted swords of Elvish knights, Bathed in Pagan blood ; or sheath them new In misty moral types; or tell their fights, Who mighty giants, or who monsters slew. And by some strange enchanted spear and shield, Yanquish'd their foe, and won the doubtful field. THE EDITORS PREFACE. IX May be she might in stately stanzas frame Stories of ladies and adventurous knights, To raise her silent and inglorious name Unto a reachless pitch of praise's height. And somewhat say, as more unworthy done, Worthy of brass, and hoary marble stone. In the controversy about episcopacy and church discipline Hall took an active part, and replied to the celebrated book called Smectymnus, without considering consequences, when such courage was as hazardous as it was honourable. This called down upon him the anger and ani- madversion of Milton, who suffered his zeal to ' master his reason ; and who goes out of his svay to attack these satires, a juvenile produc- tion of his dignified adversary, and under every consideration alien to the dispute.' What his strictures want in critical acumen he makes up by sarcastic reflection, and ventures to misquote and misunderstand the passage above cited, which, under other circumstances, would un- doubtedly have excited in his mind more noble and kindred feelings. The sarcasm may now be safely quoted, as, like all perversions of truth for party purposes, it reflects more dis- credit upon the writer than upon the person attacked. u Lighting upon this title of ' Toothless Sa- a 3 X THE EDITORS PREFACE. tyrs/ I will not conceal ye what I thought, readers, that sure this must be some sucking satyr, who might have done better to have used his coral, and made an end of breeding, ere he took upon him to wield a satyr's whip. But when I heard him talk of scouring the shields of elvish knights, do not blame me if I changed my thought, and concluded him some despe- rate cutler. But why his scornful Muse could ne'er abide, zoith tragic shoes her ankles for to hidej the pace of the verse told me her maw- kin knuckles were never shapen to that royal business. And turning by chance to the sixth [seventh] satire of his second book, I was con- firmed: where having begun loftily in Heaven's universal alphabet, he falls down to that wretch- ed poorness and frigidity as to talk of Bridge Street in Heaven, and the ostler of Heaven. And there wanting other matter to catch him a heat (for certain he was on the frozen zone miserably benumbed), with thoughts lower than any beadle's, betakes him to whip the sign- posts of Cambridge alehouses, the ordinary subject of freshmen's tales, and in a strain as pitiful. Which for him, who would be counted the first English satyrist, to abase himself to, who might have learned better among the Latin and Italian satyrists, and, in our own tongue, THE EDITORS PREFACE. Xi from the Vision and Creede of Pierce Plow- man, besides others before him, manifested a presumptuous undertaking with weak and un- examined shoulders. For a satire is, as it were, born out of a tragedy, so ought to resemble his parentage, to strike high, and adventure dangerously at the most eminent vices among the greatest persons, and not creep into every blind taphouse that fears a constable more than a satire. But that such a poem should be toothless I still affirm it to be a bull, taking away the essence of what it calls itself. For if it bite neither the persons nor the vices, how is it a satyr I And if it bite either, how is it toothless i So that toothless satires are as if he had said toothless teeth V The Satires of Hall issued from the press in 1597, and it should appear that the first three books were published separately under the title 3 of " Virgidemiarum . Sixe Bookes. First three Bookes of Toothlesse Satyrs. 1. Poeti- call. 2. Academicall. 3. Morall.

R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in 1984 the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From 1990 to 1994 the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. MACBETH This is the most extensively annotated edition of Macbeth currently available, offering a thor- ough reconsideration of one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. A full and accessible updated introduction studies the immediate theatrical and political contexts of Macbeth’s composition, especially the Gunpowder Plot and the contemporary account of an early performance at the Globe. It treats such issues as whether the Witches compel Macbeth to murder; whether Lady Macbeth is herself in some sense a witch; whether Banquo is Macbeth’s accomplice in crime; and what criticism is levelled against Macduff. Several possible new sources are suggested, and the presence of Thomas Middleton’s writing in the play is proposed. An extensive, well-illustrated account of the play in perfomance examines several cinematic versions, such as those by Kurosawa and Roman Polanski, and a brand-new introductory section on recent performances and adap- tations brings the edition completely up to date. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86240-0 - Macbeth, Second Edition William Shakespeare Frontmatter More information THE NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE All’s Well That Ends Well, edited by Russell Fraser Antony and Cleopatra, edited by David Bevington As You Like It, edited by Michael Hattaway The Comedy of Errors, edited by T.

    European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels FIRST FLOOR The Morgan Memorial The construction of the Morgan Memorial, completed in two sections in 1910 and 1915, more than doubled the size of the original Wadsworth Atheneum that opened in 1844. The building is dedicated to Junius Spencer Morgan, whose bust by William Wetmore Story stands at the top of the western stairs. Morgan was a Hartford man who founded a banking empire, and his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, chose to build the museum’s new wing as a tribute to his father. The total cost of the Memorial—over $1,400,000—represents the largest of J. Pierpont Morgan’s generous gifts. He spent over twelve years purchasing the several properties on which the Memorial stands, and was involved in its construction until his death in 1913. Benjamin Wistar Morris, a noted New York architect, was selected to design what was to be a new home for the Wadsworth Atheneum’s art collection. It was built in the grand English Renaissance style, and finished with magnificent interior details. Four years after J. Pierpont Morgan’s death, his son, J. Pierpont Morgan Jr., followed the wishes outlined in his father’s will and gave the Wadsworth Atheneum a trove of ancient art and European decorative arts from his father’s renowned collection. Living in the Ancient World Ordinary objects found at sites from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East reveal a great deal about daily life in the ancient world. Utensils for eating and drinking, glassware, lamps, jewelry, pottery, and stone vessels disclose the details of everyday life.

  • Tirage a Part Strasbourq 1990 DAVID's SLING and MICHELANGELO's BOW
    Tirage a part StrasbourQ 1990 DAVID'S SLING AND MICHELANGELO'S BOW: A SIGN OF FREED OM* IRVING LAVIN It is no accident that the American cartoonist Mike Luckovich should have chosen Michelangelo's David as his vehicle to satirize the recent efforts by certain Federal officials to censor works of art created at government expense (Figs. 1, 2). Luckovich's lampoon is prima facie evidence of the unique status the David has attained in Western society, as a symbol of the defiant spirit of human freedom and independence in the face of extreme adversity. The cartoon also perfectly illustrates the fact that the emblematic preeminence of the David is due largely to Michelangelo's having incorporated in a single, revolutionary image two of the quintessential constituents of the idea of liberty, one creative, and therefore personal, the other political, and therefore communal. We can define this dual significance of the David with a good deal of confidence because of l.Mike Luckovich, cartoon (from Newsweek, August 7, 1989) 108 2. Michelangelo, David, Accademia, Florence a famous but still inadequately understood drawing, preserved in the Louvre, in which Michelangelo virtually says as much himself (Fig. 3). To my knowledge, the drawing is the first instance in which an artist actually articulates in words on a preliminary study the sense of the work he is preparing. My purpose in this paper to define and explore the two, complementary aspects of the David by offering some observations and suggestions concerning the Louvre sheet and its implications. Let me emphasize at once that there is nothing new in suggesting that the David had personal meaning for Michelangelo: Vasari records that Michelangelo returned from Rome to Florence expressly in order to compete for the commission.

    Museum Collection, The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo was established in 1959 to house the Matsukata Collection returned to the Japanese government by the French government. While at the time of the opening the majority of the collection was French modern art, such as Renoir paintings and Rodin sculptures, over the course of the half-century since its founding, the museum collection has been expanded in line with the goal of presenting the flow of western art from the Renaissance to the World War II era. Thus the collection today encompasses a much broader spectrum of artist nationality and period than at its founding. 19th Century Hall: Sculpture by Rodin Auguste Rodin The Age of Bronze 1877 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin The Thinker 1881-82 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone c.1881-82 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Eternal Springtime 1881-84 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Orpheus and the Maenads Before 1889 Matsukata Collection Auguste Rodin Balzac (Last Study) 1897 (model), 1961 (cast) Donated by the Asahi Shimbun Auguste Rodin Meditation After 1900 Matsukata Collection 14th-16th Century Paintings Sienese School of the 14th St. Michael and the Dragon 14th century Century Andreas Ritzos Icon: Ascension of Christ with the 15th century Ex-Matsukata Collection Hetoimasia Mariotto di Nardo Predella Panel Representing the Legend of 1408 St. Stephen Carlo Crivelli St. Augustine c.1487-88 (?)

  • Egidio Dall'oglio
    Egidio Dall’Oglio Italian / Italiano, 1704–1784 Madonna and Child with St. Anne Appearing to Sts. Anthony, Charles Borromeo, and Philip Neri Oil on canvas, 1748 Egidio dall’Oglio spent six years in the Venice workshop of Giambattista Piazzetta (to whom this large canvas was once attributed) but ultimately settled on the mainland and made a career producing works for churches near Treviso and Belluno. Depicting a heavenly vision of the Madonna and Child with Saint Anne appearing to Saints Anthony, Charles Borromeo, and Philip Neri, this painting is the upper section of an ensemble created for the parish church in Giavera del Montello. In 1918, when Austria invaded northern Italy, a battle was fought in Giavera and the church was damaged, leading to the removal and ultimate sale of this surviving fragment. Madona y niño con Santa Ana en Aparición a los santos Antonio, Carlos Borromeo y Felipe Neri Óleo sobre lienzo, 1748 Egidio dall’Oglio pasó seis años en Venecia en el taller de Giambattista Piazzetta (a quien alguna vez se le atribuyó este gran lienzo), pero finalmente se estableció en tierra firme donde hizo carrera produciendo obras para las iglesias cerca de Treviso y Belluno. Esta pintura, que representa una visión celestial de la Madona y el niño con Santa Ana apareciéndose a los santos Antonio, Carlos Borromeo y Felipe Neri, es la parte superior de un conjunto creado para la iglesia parroquial de Giavera del Montello. En 1918, cuando Austria invadiera el norte de Italia, se libró una batalla en Giavera durante la cual se dañó la iglesia, provocando que este fragmento sobreviviente tuviera que ser retirado y finalmente se vendiera.

  • Perspectives on the Académie
    PERSPECTIVES ON THE ACADÉMIE LA LETTRE DE L’ACADÉMIE NUMBER 91 1 | | 2 Editorial | As we were editing this special issue of the Lettre de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts presenting our Compagnie’s activities and heritage, the Wednesday 15 January 2020 election of Catherine Meurisse to the Painting section further broadened the spectrum of disciplines it embraces. This young artist, elected at the age of 39, became the youngest member not only of our Académie but of the entire Institut de France. With her, we welcome comics – often referred to as the Ninth Art – as well the art of press cartooning. Sixty years thus separate Catherine Meurisse from our beloved oldest member, Pierre-Yves Trémois. This election is yet another demonstration the extraordinary diversity of aesthetics and means of expression found within each section of the Académie de Beaux-Arts. Catherine Meurisse, an artist whose path has been rich and open to life, but also tragic, knows that she will join women and men committed to supporting creation and defending our artistic heritage. As you will see in the following pages, our Compagnie makes full use of the means available to encourage the emergence of new talent while affording an ever wider public access to the magnificent works and sites in its care. And to salute the election of our young colleague, a future issue of the Lettre de l’Académie will be devoted to the teeming world of comics. Need one still say that it is an art in its own right, with its techniques and codes, its major trends and collectors and a considerable public: an art that has been shown in major exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou and elsewhere? It would be as ridiculous as wanting to engage in a defence and illustration of cinema.
