BILDERDYK. F.A. Snellaert, Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in België, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella 3 Voorwoord. De grond eener volksonafhanglykheid ligt in de tael. Het is een schaduwbeeld dat men naloopt, als men zich een vry volk waent zonder het kenschetsende van een vry volk te waerderen. Zulk eene natie gelykt den dobbelaer, die zich op zyne goede fortuin betrouwt. Sedert een paer jaren heeft zich by ons eene terugwerking, ten voordeele der volkstael, allerduidelykst doen gevoelen. De vlaemsche dichters zyn uit hunne verbazing terug gekomen, en verrukken ons met toonen, die beter dan een hoop bayonnetten het staetsgebouw zullen beschermen. Het volk, den afgrond inziende, waerover het helde, keert tot vaderlandsche gevoelens terug. Zelfs zy, die, als in eene vlaeg van verbystering, drogredenen tegen de tale des volks hadden bygebracht, zien thans den verderfelyken invloed F.A. Snellaert, Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in België, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella 4 eener vreemde in, en bieden al hunne krachten aen om aen vreemde spraek en zeden eene ons vernederende beheersching over geest en hart te betwisten. Zulk een terugkeer doet ons aen de mogelykheid gelooven eens ons zelfs te zullen wezen, en ons van allen vreemden invloed te zullen losworstelen; want geene grootere vernedering voor eene natie dan onder voogdyschap te staen. En eens toch komt de ongelukkige gelegenheid dat zulk wandrochtelyk volk door een machtigen nabuer aen het bespottend oog van andere volken verborgen wordt. Dusdanige onafhanglykheid, trouwens, is eene hersenschim, en alleen door de wisselvallige tydsomstandigheden bestaenbaer. Een bewys, dat men tegen het algemeen beoefenen der volkstael meende te kunnen inbrengen, en waermede het vooroordeel, in weerwil van alle overtuiging, thans nog zou willen schermen, is derzelver ruwheid en onhandelbaerheid voor de hoogere standen. Maer, behalve dat de tale zich naer hen plooit die haer spreken, de letterkundige bewysstukken zyn daer om een ieder van het tegenovergestelde te overtuigen, en de voortbrengselen der vorige eeuwen, toen men nog in alle standen zich uitsluitend van de volkstale bediende, toonen genoegzaem de zedelyke gesteldheid van alle standen van destyds aen. Dezelfde smet werd in de vorige eeuw, met meerder recht misschien, aen het hoogduitsch verweten1. Men weet hoe luisterlyk de Duitschers zich over dien smaed gewroken hebben. Waerom dan zouden wy, Belgen, ons gevoel van eigene waerde verdooven, en slaefsch eene zedelyke overheersching dulden? Waerom onze tael, als onvatbaer ter beoefening van al wat den mensch veredelt, uitkryten, wanneer wy onze voorvaderen verre boven hunne 1 F. Schlegel, Histoire de la littérature ancienne et moderne, tom. II, pag. 214-216. Édition de Louvain, 1829. F.A. Snellaert, Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in België, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella 5 trotsche naburen, in kunsten en wetenschappen zien streven? Neen, de tyd gaet voorby, dat de partyzucht de overtuiging deed zwygen. Men ondervraegt thans de geschiedenis des volks, en men vindt daer hoe men vroeger onafhanglykheid en volksbestaen verstond. Daer leert men hoe nayverig het voorgeslacht was om de rechten der volkstale te verdedigen, en den smaed, haer aengedaen, te wreken. Daer leert men hoe met de verbastering der tael ook de zeden hare oorsprongelyke zuiverheid verloren hebben. Wellicht zal het aen latere geslachten ongelooflyk voorkomen hoe schier een geheel volk zyne eigene tael heeft durven verloochenen, en de verbystering zoo ver gedreven van naer derzelver ondergang mede te trachten. Wee dan der nagedachtenis van hen die door hunne valschaerdige redeneringen het volk hebben misleid, niet aerzelende om het bestaen eener geheele natie in de waegschael te stellen. Het griefde my altyd door sommigen, die nog al kennis van 's lands geschiedenis willen hebben, met zekeren ophef te hooren zeggen dat wy niet eens op eene vroegere letterkunde ons kunnen beroemen. En als er dan over de werken van eenen Willems en anderen gesproken wordt, dan weten die veelweters meestal niet dat er boeken bestaen, uitsluitend over de geschiedenis onzer letterkunde handelende. En zulke waenwyzen vindt men nog by hoopen in Belgie; zy voeren overal het hooge woord, en worden geloofd. Reeds herhaelde malen had de koninglyke Academie eene geschiedenis onzer oudere letterkunde gevraegd1. Omstandigheden brachten te weeg dat ik eerst in het najaer van 1836 er kennis van kreeg. 1 Présenter une dissertation raisonnée sur la poésie flamande, dès sa première origine jusqu'à la fin du règne d'Albert et d'Isabelle; en y ajoutant un choix judicieux, mais sobre, des passages les plus saillans, propres à caractériser l'esprit et le genre des ouvrages de poésie flamande, publiés ou restés manuscrits? F.A. Snellaert, Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in België, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella 6 Gaerne had ik gezien dat eene kundigere hand zich aen het werk hadde gesteld; maer niemand myner vrienden wilde optreden, en het liet zich aenzien dat geen antwoord zou opdagen, tot groote vreugde der vrienden van Frankryk, of dat misschien de eer aen een' vreemdeling zou toekomen. Ofschoon ik voor 1837 geene verhandeling meer kon afwerken, wilde ik toch beginnen met bouwstoffen te verzamelen, in de hoop dat de vraeg nog eens voor een jaer mogt worden uitgesteld. Myne hoop werd niet bedrogen, en ik trachtte, in het midden myner academiestudien, van tyd tot tyd een uer te vinden, om de ryke bronnen te raedplegen welke my door de voornaemste letterkundigen van ons land, met eene recht vaderlandsche welwillendheid, werden toevertrouwd. Met het plan der verhandeling ben ik zeer verlegen geweest. De wyze van behandelen van Roquefort en Hoffmann von Fallersleben kwam my dadelyk de geschikste voor. Maer die schryvers hadden slechts over een klein tydperk geschreven, zoo lang de poezy den zelfden tred hield. De vraeg der koninglyke Academie, daer en tegen, loopt over een tydbestek, waerin de nederlansche poezy wisselvalligheden van opkomst en verval heeft ondergaen. Ik verdeelde dus myne verhandeling in drie tydvakken. Het eerste loopt van de vroegste opkomst der nederlandsche letterkunde tot aen de onderwerping van het land aen Bourgonje, en bevat onze oude letterkunde. Het tweede, van het huis van Bourgonje tot aen de overgave van Antwerpen aen Parma: het was de tyd van den luister der kamers van rhetorica. Het derde loopt van gemelde overgave van Antwerpen tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella. Sedert dat er eene nederlandsche letterkunde bestond, waren Vlaenderen en Braband daervan de zetel geweest. Met het verdryven van vryheid en welvaert, werd ook de letterkunde uit het land gebannen, en onze grootste F.A. Snellaert, Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in België, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella 7 dichters gingen onder eenen vryeren hemel hunne verrukkelyke toonen uitstorten. Dat tydvak is hetgene eener gelukkige omwenteling op den nederlandschen zangberg, en zelfs in onze verdrukte gewesten vond men nog verlichte mannen genoeg om aen deze omwenteling eene krachtdadige hand te bieden. Wel is waer, dat deze wyze van behandelen aenleiding tot herhalingen geeft; maer de vraeg zelf schynt het te eischen. Ik heb nogthans getracht zoo veel mogelyk alles in verband te houden. Mogt myne taek als niet geheel onwaerdig beschouwd worden! F.A. Snellaert, Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in België, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella 9 Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in Belgie, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabelle. Eerste tydvak, sedert de vroegste tyden der Nederlandsche letterkunde tot aen de onderwerping van het land aen Bourgonje. Het nederlandsch is vroeg reeds een der beschaefde takken der algemeene duitsche tael geweest. Het kon niet anders; trouwens Vlaenderen was een van de vroegst beschaefde landen van het midden Europa. Zeden en tael zyn twee onafscheidbare hoofdstoffen van een volk: ze zyn als het zenuw- en bloedstelsel by de natuerkundigen. Waer een volk in beschaving vooruit gaet, moet de tael volgen, en zoo lang hetzelve geene vreemde kluisters heeft gedragen, zal de tael het kenmerk van oorspronglykheid behouden. F.A. Snellaert, Verhandeling over de Nederlandsche dichtkunst in België, sedert hare eerste opkomst tot aen de dood van Albert en Isabella 10 De inwoners onzer gewesten, die tegen Cesar streden, waren van germaenschen oorsprong. Na den val van het romeinsche ryk werd Belgie door nieuwe germaensche stammen overstroomd en verwoest. Zeker is by zulk een' toestand van zaken niets dan een algemeene achteruitgang van menschelyke kennissen te veronderstellen. Dagelyks van nieuwe vyanden besprongen en uitgestroopt, moest het nog half ruwe gemoed der inwoners zich verwilderen; de vermenging met alle de zich onderling verdringende zwervers, waervan er eenige zich hier en daer genesteld bleven houden, moest alle bestaende gebruiken doen verdwynen, en een bajert van plaetselyke gewoonten doen ontstaen. De tael was echter by allen omtrent dezelfde, zoo dat overwinnaers en overwonnenen zich gemakkelyk verstonden. Wanneer alle die strooplegers door geheel Europa zich hadden neergezet, en het algemeen oorlogsvuer schier was uitgedoofd, begonnen zeden en tael zich te ontwikkelen. De Franken waren de voornaemste dier germaensche zwervers. Eerst uit onderscheidene stammen samengesteld, maekten zy eindelyk één volk uit, dat zich over het oostelyk gedeelte van ons land uitbreidde.

  • The Portrayal of the Generals and the Armies in Tacitus' Annals
    THE PORTRAYAL OF THE GENERALS AND THE ARMIES IN TACITUS’ ANNALS. Elizabeth Mary Boldy Bachelor of Arts (Hons.1) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics. ABSTRACT Tacitus began the Annals with the death of Augustus in order to emphasize the moment when the autocratic system of government he had established became a permanent fixture in the Roman state when it was passed on to his successors, the Julio-Claudian Emperors.1 Tacitus chose the annalistic form to present his history in order to record the major events of political, military and constitutional importance within these formative years of the empire.2 This thesis offers a historiographical study of Tacitus‟ Annals in order to demonstrate how he utilises the Roman army and its generals as a means of emphasising the political environment in these embryonic years of the empire. This study is valuable in that it shows how, by use of various literary devices, Tacitus gives his opinions of the emperors by contrasting their actions and behaviours with their generals and armies. His descriptions of res externae, the actions of the armies, is designed to counterbalance what he claimed was sorrowful res internae within the Roman state itself. Scholars‟ views on Tacitus qualities as an historian range from the belief that he was truthful and reliable to the view that the Annals was mostly a work of literature and of little value for historical fact. Woodman, Kajanto and Haynes argue that Tacitus‟ work was more a work of rhetorical invention, like that of the poets.3 Mellor likens him to such historical novelists as Tolstoy and George Eliot.4 Syme, Mendell and Martin express their belief that Tacitus was a reliable and honest historian.5 In this thesis, I examine Tacitus‟ style and language in order to show how his method of writing plays a crucial role in developing the themes of the Annals.

To find the complete listing in the catalog, do a basic keyword search for “Plimpton collection of dramas”. Individual plays can be searched by title and author. The call number for the collection is PN6111.P5 © 2013 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 1 Plimpton Collection of Dramas INTRODUCTION THE PLIMPTON COLLECTION OF PLAYS by Curtis Canfield Originally published in the Amherst Graduates’ Quarterly, May 1932 Mr. George A. Plimpton, ’76, recently presented to the college a large collection of material relating to the English and American theatre of the nineteenth century. More than 1200 plays are represented in the collection in addition to numerous playbills, programs, libretti, histories, and after-pieces, as well as an autographed photograph of Edwin Booth as Richelieu. The collection seems to have been a part of the extensive theatrical library of Mr. Edward Boltwood of Pittsfield, whose father was born in Amherst in 1839 and moved to Pittsfield in 1870. Mr. Boltwood, although an active member of the Berkshire bar, made the theatre his avocation and found time to write a number of small pieces for the stage, one of which is included in the present collection. He was also instrumental in establishing the William Parke Stock Company in Pittsfield, and continued his connection with this company by writing reviews of its plays.

  • The Annals of Imperial Rome
    The Annals of Imperial Rome 321 The Annals of Imperial Rome Tacitus (A.D. c.56-c.120), the greatest of the Roman historians, chronicles the early Roman Empire, from the death of the first emperor Augustus (in A.D. 14) up to the years of the First Jewish-Roman War (A.D. 63-73). The Annals is his final work. It portrays the pathological souls of tyrants, the psychology of power politics, and the preciousness and precariousness of liberty. 323 Tacitus Book I The city of Rome was originally in the hands of kings; liberty and the consulship were instituted by Lucius Brutus. Dictatorships were as- sumed temporarily. The Board of Ten did not exercise control beyond a two-year period, nor was the military tribunes’ consular authority long prevalent. Neither Cinna’s regime nor Sulla’s was lengthy. The power of Pompey and Crassus quickly gave way to Caesar, likewise the armies of Lepidus and Antony to Augustus, who as ‘first citizen’ re- ceived everything, weary as it was from civil strife, into his command. For the Roman people of old – their successes and misfortunes – writ- ers of renown produced a record, and the tale of Augustus’ times did not lack reputable talents until the spread of flattery proved a deter- rent. The affairs of Tiberius and Gaius, Claudius and Nero, in their prosperity, were falsified through fear and after their fall were written with hatreds still fresh. Thus my plan is to report a few final things about Augustus, then Tiberius’ principate and the rest, without anger or favour, from whose causes I consider myself distant.

  • Great Pompeii Project
    Archaeological Area of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, Italy, n. 829 1. Executive summary of the report Soon after the collapse of the Schola Armaturarum, UNESCO carried out several missions, involving ICOMOS and UNESCO experts, at the sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, specifically on 2-4 December 2010 and 10 – 13 January 2011, on 7-10 January 2013 and 8-12 November 2014. These inspections led to the formulation of a set of recommendations, which have ultimately been summarised in decision 39 COM 7B, adopted at the 39th meeting of the World Heritage Committee, to which this report is a reply. Over the years, many steps forward have been made in the conservation and management of the property. Regarding the Grande Progetto Pompeii (Great Pompeii Project), the State Party has ensured its continuation with a further European financing of 45 M€ and by maintaining the General Project Management organisation and the Great Pompeii Unit until 31 December 2019. A further two items of funding have been received: 40 M€ from the Italian government and 75 M€ from the Special Superintendency of Pompeii, which has been granted financial, administrative and management autonomy. The more recent inspection by UNESCO/ICOMOS identified 5 buildings at risk in the site of Pompeii: Casa dei Casti Amanti, Casa delle Nozze d’argento, Schola Armaturarum, Casa di Trebius Valens and Casa dei Ceii. Conservation interventions were then planned for all these buildings, which, to date, are either still underway or have been completed, or which will soon start. Almost all the legal problems that prevented the start of the works have been solved and now it will be possible to carry out the safety works on and restore the structures of the Schola Armaturarum; open the Antiquarium to the public; and continue the improvement works on the Casina dell’Aquila.

  • Gianoutsos-Dissertation-2014
    GENDER, TYRANNY AND REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, 1603-1660 by Jamie A. Gianoutsos A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland August, 2014 © 2014 Jamie A. Gianoutsos All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This dissertation examines how classical history and gendered conceptions of masculine governance and misgovernance shaped the political culture of seventeenth-century England, the distinctive character of English republican thought, and the cultural and intellectual origins of the English Revolution. By attending to a series of classical stories about lustful and incestuous tyrants, republican revolution, matricide, and Christian persecution, which were appropriated through imaginative literature and discourse, this dissertation argues that Englishmen developed a significant ethical and political vocabulary of tyranny that imagined and condemned misgovernance in highly gendered terms, characterizing the tyrant as effeminate, uxorious, idolatrous, violent, and enslaved. The following chapters maintain that this classical and gendered understanding of tyranny greatly affected English perceptions and public criticisms of King James and King Charles. Through an examination especially of John Milton’s writings, it further maintains that this discourse shaped the burgeoning republican vocabulary of seventeenth-century England, for conceptions of gender played a central and primary role in republican discourses of virtue, liberty, citizenship, and good governance, and marriage was envisioned as a significant republican institution. The study concludes by demonstrating the importance of classical and gendered conceptions of governance during the Interregnum, arguing that the grammar of tyranny developed in the Stuart period became a central criterion whereby republican writers understood, defended and criticized Oliver Cromwell and his government.

  • The Quiet Side of Strength Mercy Foundation Joins with Donors to Enhance Patient Care
    Fall 2008 Annual Report Mercy Medical center Foundation The quiet side of strength Mercy Foundation joins with donors to enhance patient care Mercy Medical Center Foundation Dear Partners in Caring: Since the spring issue of Partners we have experienced life-changing events in Cedar Rapids and here at Mercy Medical Center. Who could have anticipated that flood waters would extend ten blocks beyond the river and force necessary evacuations of all the patients in the hospital and in Hallmar? But it happened. Since those very eventful days in June 2008, we have “risen above it” thanks to the efforts of so many community volunteers, vendors, contractors, employees and friends from all over. Today, we are proud to show off the fruits of our labor. The hospital is beautiful, and we encourage you to stop for a visit. You’ll like what you see. A grand re-dedication and public open house of the Lundy Pavilion was celebrated on September 28, 2008, with a Mass said by Archbishop Jerome Hanus O.S.B We were saddened this past year by the loss of two inspirational leaders at Mercy. J. Edward Lundy and Abbott Lipsky were both charter members of our Founders’ Society and emeritus members of the Foundation Board. Mercy will be forever grateful for their generous gifts of time, talent and treasure. Their legacies live on through two special ways—the naming of Lundy Pavilion and the annual Lipsky Lecture Series held for all employees here at Mercy. While we have challenges ahead, we also have exciting new opportunities. Your gifts are needed to support our areas of greatest need and to continue to assist those devastated by the floods.
