Winchester College Society The Friends of Winchester College Short Half 2018 Dear Friends, Thomas Weelkes By David Hurley, Music Teacher As I sit here in the blazing sunshine of late June, it is hard to contemplate the autumn and our forthcoming events, One of Winchester College’s more illustrious former but I’ll do my best. residents is the composer Thomas Weelkes, who was College organist for two or three years in the early To continue the sunshine theme, the weather blessed our seventeenth century. During his time at Winchester two major events of Cloister Time: the musical evening Weelkes published two volumes of madrigals, and, and Stephen Shuttleworth’s water-colour class. The boys through the generous support of the Friends, the College and staff always give us a real treat at the concert, but this collection now boasts an extra four part-books to add to time it seemed to excel all previous evenings, at least in the one already in its possession.

Translated into more than 20 languages, his prize-winning novels include The Vision of Elena Silves (winner of the Somerset Maugham Award and Betty Trask Award), The High Flyer, for which he was selected as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelilsts, 1993, and The Dancer Upstairs, which was chosen as the Best Novel of 1997 by the American Libraries Association, and in 2001 made into a film by John Malkovich.

  • 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.

  • "The Problem of Predicting What Will Last"
    Allan Massie, "The Problem of Predicting What Will Last" Booksonline, with Amazon.co.uk (An Electronic Telegraph Publication) 4 January 2000 As our Book of the Century series concludes, Allan Massie compares the list with one published by The Daily Telegraph 100 years ago EACH WEEK for the past two years The Daily Telegraph’s literary editor has asked a contributor to name and describe his or her "Book of the Century", and today the series concludes with Arthur C. Clarke’s choice. The full selection invites comparison with a list drawn up by The Telegraph a century ago; we print both here. The comparison cannot, however, be exact. All the books chosen in 1899 were fiction - the paper offered its readers the "100 Best Novels in the World", selected by the editor "with the assistance of Sir Edwin Arnold, K. C. I. E, H. D. Traill, D. C. L, and W. L. Courtney, LL. D.". The modern list includes poetry, plays, history, diaries, philosophy, economics, memoirs, biography and travel writing. It is certainly eclectic, ranging from Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, selected by David Sylvester, to The Wind in the Willows, chosen by John Bayley, and Down with Skool, Wendy Cope’s Book of the Century. The 1899 list, on offer at the time in a cloth-bound edition at nine guineas the lot (easy terms available), is homogeneous, as the modern one is not, not only because it consists entirely of works of fiction but also because the selection was made by a small group. And since they were picking the 100 Best Novels, they were able to include books that nobody might name as a single "Book of the Century" but which many might put in their top 20 or so.

  • El Sendero De Un Shakespeare Por Pablo Ingberg
    El País, Montevideo, 01.09.2000 Entrevista a Nicholas Shakespeare El sendero de un Shakespeare Por Pablo Ingberg Mario Vargas Llosa elogió la primera novela de Nicholas Shakespeare, La visión de Elena Silves, por su “certero instinto para aventurarse en los laberintos de la política peruana”. Aquel libro obtuvo el premio Somerset Maugham y se tradujo a doce idiomas, incluyendo el español (Muchnik, 1991). Shakespeare, nacido en Inglaterra en 1957, retomó el mismo tema en su tercera novela, que publica ahora en español Editorial Norma. Se titula El bailarín del piso de arriba, y es una ficción inspirada en la captura del líder senderista Abimael Guzmán. La pregunta por el origen de su interés literario en Sendero Luminoso es, pues, el casi obligado comienzo de la entrevista. Así lo resume él: –Yo había vivido en Brasil del ’66 al ’70, época de los escuadrones de la muerte, y en Argentina del ’74 al ’78, tiempos de la “guerra sucia”. En 1984 llegué a Perú, y me quedé hasta el ’89. Era la época de Sendero Luminoso y mi tercera experiencia revolucionaria en Sudamérica. Llegado de Portugal y ya instalado en Lima, yo estaba escribiendo una novela sobre una monja que, de jovencita, había tenido una visión de la Virgen María, y la Iglesia la había encarcelado veinte años. Quería que ella se cuestionara si había valido la pena haber sido marcada así por el conocimiento de Dios. ¿No habría sido mejor enamorarse, hacer el amor, formar una familia? Ella se escaparía del convento en busca del muchacho del que estaba enamorada al tener la visión.
