ARTHUR VAN SCHENDEL'S EX LIBRIS DESIGNED BY DAVID BUENO DE MESQUITA SESTRI LEVANTE, SEPTEMBER 1934 Courtesy of Nederlands Letterkundig Museum en Documentatiecentrum ' s-Gravenhage SYNOPSIS THE CREATIVE RECEPTION OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE IN THE NETHERLANDS: THE CASE OF ARTHUR VAN SCHENDEL As a young man, the Dutch novelist, short story writer and poet, Arthur van Schendel (1874-1946) developed a passion for Shakespeare. The plays came as a revelation to him, kindling his creativity to such an extent that he imaginatively adopted and adapted many of the playwright's characters and ideas. The principal results were a life of the poet, Shakespeare (1910), a play Pandorra (1919), the novel Meneer Oberon en Mevrouw (1940), and a poem "Stratford-upon-Avon" (1944). In this thesis I will explore the intertextuality between the works of Shakespeare and those of Van Schendel. To this end I will study the latter's complete works, all the associa­ ted material, including correspondence and manuscripts, kept in the Literary Museum and Documentation Centre in The Hague; and also biographies, books and articles concerned with Van Schendel that have appeared since the publication of his first novel Drogon (1896). This dissertation will comprise: - a discussion of Van Schendel's life and works - a reading of Shakespeare - comments on five of Shakespeare's plays, included in the second enlarged edition of Shakespeare, and on Pandorra - and last but not least an evaluation of Meneer Oberon en Mevrouw. approximately 64,000 words TO THE LOVING MEMORY OF MY HUSBAND CARL STEINMETZ AND MY GRANDSON CARO STEINMETZ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to Professor Ton Hoenselaars who drew my atten­ tion to Arthur van Schendel's Meneer Oberon en Mevrouw. This proved to be an eye-opener, for I discovered that Van Schendel had not only written a biography of Shakespeare, but some of his works show intertextuality with Shakespeare's plays. I am much obliged to the librarians, archivists and staff, who assisted me in tracing letters, manuscripts, books, and ar­ ticles, in particular those of: - Het Letterkundig Museum en Documentatiecentrum (LM) , Den Haag - Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB), Den Haag - Bibliotheek der Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, Leiden - Archief Theater Instituut Nederland, Amsterdam - Van Looy Archief, Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem - Johnson Library, Stratford-upon-Avon - Records Office, The Shakespeare Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon. My thesis has greatly benefited from the guidance, suggestions and advice of Professor Stanley W. Wells, for which I offer him my warmest thanks. I am also grateful to Dr Charles Ver- geer who drew my attention to letters to and from Arthur van Schendel unknown to me and provided me with copies of relevant material. My children and friends supported me with good faith and I owe especially Drs E.G. van Weezendonk, who read my thesis with great care, sincere gratitude. It stands to reason that errors that might be traced are my own responsibility. Delft, September 1998.

Concluding Remarks 227 Conclusion 229 Bibliography 234 248 INTRODUCTION Since 1600 Dutch translations and discussions of, and refe­ rences to, English literary and other works, such as books, plays, and to a lesser extent poems, have appeared regularly. English authors, playwrights, poets and their works have been the subject of monographs, articles and dissertations. A great number of these translations or sometimes adaptations (in the case of performances of plays), treatises, and articles cover a wide field - see for instance Sir Thomas Browne M.D- and the Anatomy of Man (1982) by Cornelis W. Schoneveld et al. 1 , and Intertraffic of the Mind (1983) by Cornelis W. Schoneveld2 - and quite a few of them are devoted to Shakespeare. In the 1890s L.A.J. Burgersdijk translated all Shakespeare's plays in twelve volumes3 ; Renetta Pennink wrote a dissertation called, Nederland en Shakespeare: Achttiende Eeuw en Vroege Romantiek (The Netherlands and Shakespeare: the Eighteenth Century and Early Romanticism, 1936) 4 ; Robert H. Leek com­ posed a book entitled, Shakespeare in Nederland: Kroniek van Vier Eeuwen Shakespeare in Nederlandse Vertalingen op het Ne- derlandse Toneel (1988) 5 , which is a survey, covering four 1 (Leiden: Brill, 1982), 2 Dissertation Leiden University (Leiden: Brill/Dniversitaire Pers, 1983), 3 1884-1888, (3rd rev, ed.

Hoenselaars included some considerations of Shakespeare in The Netherlands in his edited collection, Reclamations of Shakespeare (1994). 7 These ex­ amples comprise only a small number of all the works written by Dutch scholars and translators both in Dutch and English; they show a continual interest in the literary output of Great Britain in general and to a great extent in William Shake­ speare's life and works in particular. Arthur van Schendel (1874-1946) takes up a modest place among those mentioned above. My thesis offers a study of his literary interaction with Shakespeare. In this introduction, I briefly survey those of his writings, both novels, short stories and a play, that are most relevant to my theme, men­ tion the works that are to be dealt with thoroughly in the following chapters, and say something about the English re­ ception of his work. Van Schendel was sixteen when he first saw a play by Shakespeare. That was Hamlet, performed by a German theatre company, and when he was seventeen, he enrolled at the Academy of Drama in Amsterdam. He then began to read all Shakespeare's plays, in the translation by L.A.J. Burgers- dijk, which he borrowed from the library of the Academy of 6 (Aisterdan - Atlanta, GA: Rodopi), 7 (Ansterdan - Atlanta, GA: Rodopi), 11 Drama. 8 When he became proficient in the English language, first through self-study and later through his studies at a college of education (in order to become a teacher of Eng­ lish), he read Shakespeare's plays in the original language. This gave him so much pleasure that his interest in Shake­ speare and his works increased, which resulted in a biography of the playwright and a thorough knowledge of the characters and plots of his plays. Van Schendel was a poet, but foremost a novelist and short story writer, who composed only one play. Shakespeare (1910), one of his two biographies, the play Pandorra (1919), the novel Meneer Oberon en Mevrouw (1940), the poem "Strat- ford-on-Avon" (1944) 9 , the various allusions to characters in Shakespeare's works scattered through his writings, and also his ex libris10 bear witness to his lifelong admiration for the great playwright. His Shakespeare may be regarded as a ro­ manticized biography. The second edition, published in 1922, was enlarged with discussions of five of Shakespeare's plays. According to one of Van Schendel's biographers, G.H. van 's- Gravesande, the author hoped that his Life of Shakespeare would prove an eye-opener for his friends and entice them to 8 In Arthur van Schendel ('s-Gravenhage: BZZT6H, 1983) Charles Vergeer remarked that as a student of the Acadeay of Drama Arthur van Schendel was in charge of its library and read Shakespeare's plays in the Burgersdijk translation (168), 9 In Eerdenkingen (Reminiscences), Verzawld rert fWJ vol.

Rabillard, Supervisor (Department of English) Dr. Janelle Jenstad, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Michael Best, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Annalee Lepp, Outside Member (Department of Women’s Studies) Abstract The temptation to meddle with Shakespeare has proven irresistible to playwrights since the Restoration and has inspired some of the most reviled and most respected works of theatre. Nahum Tate’s tragic-comic King Lear (1681) was described as an execrable piece of dementation, but played on London stages for one hundred and fifty years. David Garrick was equally tempted to adapt King Lear in the eighteenth century, as were the burlesque playwrights of the nineteenth. In the twentieth century, the meddling continued with works like King Lear’s Wife (1913) by Gordon Bottomley and Dead Letters (1910) by Maurice Baring.

  • KING LEAR of Empathy As a Simple Key to Unlock Others and Instead Shows How Empathy Is a Form of Seduction
    EMPATHY AND THE STRANGENESSEMPATHY OF FICTION ‘Does fiction train us in empathy? Scott’s clever and wonderfully engaging book provides a powerful response to correct the idea KING LEAR of empathy as a simple key to unlock others and instead shows how empathy is a form of seduction. The task of the reader is both to fall for this seduction and to resist it.’ ‘AFTER’ AUSCHWITZ Fritz Breithaupt, author of The Dark Sides of Empathy and Provost Professor at Indiana University Shakespeare, Appropriation and Theatres of Catastrophe in Post-War British Drama Explores how and why narrative fiction engages empathy This book takes its point of departure in recent psychological findings which suggest that reading fiction cultivates empathy, including Theory of Mind. Scott draws on literary theory and close readings to argue that engagement with fictional stories also teaches us to resist uncritical forms of empathy and reminds us of the limitations of our ability to understand other people. The book treats figures of the stranger in Balzac’s La Fille aux yeux d’or, Stendhal’s Le Rouge et le Noir and Sand’s Indiana as emblematic of the strangeness of narrative fiction, which both draws us in and keeps us at a distance. Maria C. Scott is Senior Lecturer in French at the University of Exeter. She is the author of Baudelaire’s Le Spleen de Paris: Maria C. Scott Shifting Perspectives (2005) and Stendhal’s Less-Loved Heroines: Fiction, Freedom, and the Female (2013).

SHAKESPEARE IN THE CLASSROOM: HOW AN ANNUAL STUDENT PRODUCTION OF KING LEAR ADDS DIMENSION TO TEACHING TRUSTS AND ESTATES KAREN E. BOXX* How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!' Lear's torments are central to us, almost to all of us, since the sorrows of generationalstrife are necessarily universal.2 INTRODUCTION I always begin the first day of my Trusts and Estates course by discussing the reasons for taking the class. While I note that some students may take the class to help in passing the bar exam or because family members have already asked them to draft wills, my list of reasons instead include: (1) exposure to the fiduciary relationship; (2) the real life ethical dilemmas faced by the lawyers; (3) learning to read and interpret state statutes; and (4) consideration of how law responds to societal changes and governs human relationships.
