Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

  • A Brief Discourse Regarding Collllllon Characteristics of Fishing Clubs and Their Men1bers by Richard G. Bell
    A Mother Club, a Mystery, and Best of the Worsts Man's life is but vain; For 'tis subject to pain, And sorrow, and short as a bubble; 'Tis a hodge-podge of business and money and ca re, and care and money and tro uble. But we'll take no care when the weather proves fair; Nor will we vex now though it rain; We'll banish all sorrow and sing to tomorrow, and angle and angle again. hus singeth Walton and friends as recorded in The Compleat Angler. Groups of anglers bonding over com- Tmon experience and common water is as old as . .. well, at least as old as Walton, with Thatcht-House being dubbed the Mother Club by author Richard G. Bell. In "Common Threads among the Gold: A Brief Discourse Regarding Common Characteristics of Fishing Clubs and Their Members," Bell begins with the Bible and Berners for stories of fishermen, angling, and attitude. But, he claims, it is Walton who gives us "clubness." Bell's article, originally a presentation to the Lime- stone Club of East Canaan, Connecticut, is filled with stories and songs of anglers banding together for the sake of tradition to fish, eat, drink, be merry, exaggerate, and complain. This rather lively piece begins on page 2. About ten years ago, Frederick Buller found a collection of flies at a rummage sale in a box marked "Unusual Salmon Flies (circa 188o) ." Since then, he's been researching these flies and asking the opinions of others. The flies are, in fact, still a bit of a mystery.
