After some progress had been made the compiler grew in terested in asce rtaining h ow many such instances could be discovered in readily accessible sources, and when it was completed it was thought that, though of r it consisted only b ief memoranda, it was probably worth pre i n i serving pr nt . No attempt has before been made to collect the names of the various emigrants to Virginia in regard to whose parentage , n fin l family connections, or former homes somethi g de ite cou d be learned . In the list here presented there is no claim for exhaust i ven es s to an , nor is there any attempt give many details as to c es tr . of y, social position, or occupation It is a list names with i brief notes concern ng them , and with references to printed books or of manuscripts, where proofs the statements made are either given in full or epitomized . It is not intended as an enumera t r ion of gent y, but includes all ranks from the laborer to the lord . of f or Though use , no doubt, genealogical investigations, the compilation was not made for that purpose ; but to give examples of the great variety of people who composed the emigrants to the Old colonies . t Some of the persons, whose names are given, died withou an d issue , others returned to England, of still others nothing is k . i nown but the name Yet they all lived in Virginia , and w th to their different characters, habits, and antecedents helped make the colony what it was and to mould the character of the V i r ginia people . The principal sources used have been the Vi rgi ni a Magazi n e o H i t r n B r W l i f s o y a d i og aphy ( cited as V . the i l am an d ’ a rterl r l a Mary Q u y ( cited as W .

The name of the emigrant is rst m given, followed next by his dates, and i mediately after this the of fi place his residence in Virginia, and nally the foreign refer l r ence . When detai s as to ancest y are given in the authorities of D referred to , as in the case John West, Edward igges , and n ot many others, it has been deemed necessary to add the social h &c . designation of gentleman , esquire , T is has been only fi done, as a rule, in cases where contemporary records af x such ’ titles to the emigrant s name and the compiler knew nothing of his ancestry . In conclusion , it should be said that no statements have been made f or which it is believed there is not full proof in reliable . A records ll probabilities, however strong or reasonable , and all merely traditional accoun ts have been omitted . This is also the case in regard to some positive statements as to parentage or f r descent o which no authority has been given .

  • The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations
    The History of the Jamestown Colony: Seventeenth-Century and Modern Interpretations A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with research distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of the Ohio State University By Sarah McBee The Ohio State University at Mansfield June 2009 Project Advisor: Professor Heather Tanner, Department of History Introduction Reevaluating Jamestown On an unexceptional day in December about four hundred years ago, three small ships embarked from an English dock and began the long and treacherous voyage across the Atlantic. The passengers on board envisioned their goals – wealth and discovery, glory and destiny. The promise of a new life hung tantalizingly ahead of them. When they arrived in their new world in May of the next year, they did not know that they were to begin the journey of a nation that would eventually become the United States of America. This summary sounds almost ridiculously idealistic – dream-driven achievers setting out to start over and build for themselves a better world. To the average American citizen, this story appears to be the classic description of the Pilgrims coming to the new world in 1620 seeking religious freedom. But what would the same average American citizen say to the fact that this deceptively idealistic story actually took place almost fourteen years earlier at Jamestown, Virginia? The unfortunate truth is that most people do not know the story of the Jamestown colony, established in 1607.1 Even when people have heard of Jamestown, often it is with a negative connotation. Common knowledge marginally recognizes Jamestown as the colony that predates the Separatists in New England by more than a dozen years, and as the first permanent English settlement in America.

  • Pocahontas's Two Rescues and Her Fluid Loyalty
    言語・地域文化研究 第 ₂6 号 2020 103 Pocahontas’s Two Rescues and Her Fluid Loyalty Hiroyuki Tsukada ポカホンタスの二つの助命と忠誠心の揺らぎ 塚田 浩幸 要 旨 ポカホンタスは、二度、ジョン・スミスの命を救った。一度目は有名な助命で、1607 年 12 月、インディアンの首長パウハタンによる処刑の寸前に、ポカホンタスが捕虜スミ スに自分の体をなげうって助命をした。これは、スミスの死と生まれ変わりを象徴的に 意味し、入植者をインディアンの世界に迎え入れる儀式で、ポカホンタスはスミスを救 うというあらかじめ決められた役割を担った。この一度目の助命の真偽については長ら く論争が行なわれてきたが、スミスが 1608 年 6 月の報告書簡でポカホンタスを「比類な き人物」と高く評価できたという事実は、助命が実際に起きたことを示している。その 6 月の時点で、スミスは助命の他に、取引や物資の提供と人質解放交渉の場面でポカホ ンタスと会う機会を持っていたが、それらの場面においては、スミスが「比類なき人物」 と評価することができるほどの行動をポカホンタスがとっていなかったからである。そ して、スミスがその報告書簡でポカホンタスを紹介したのは、入植事業の宣伝のために インディアンとの平和友好をアピールするねらいがあった。つまり、スミスに批判的な 研究者が主張するように、スミスがポカホンタスの人気にあやかって自分の名声をあげ るために助命を捏造したのではなく、助命に感銘を受けたスミスがポカホンタスの人気 を作り上げたといえるのである。 パウハタンは、一度目の助命でポカホンタスをインディアンと入植者の平和友好のシ ンボルとして仕立て上げ、その後の平和的な外交の場面にもポカホンタスを同行させて いた。しかしながら、二度目の助命は、パウハタンの外交方針に逆らって、ポカホンタ ス自身の意思によって行なわれた。1609 年 1 月、インディアンと入植者の関係が悪化す るなか、パウハタンがスミスを本当に襲おうとしているところをポカホンタスがスミス に密告して救った。この二つの助命のあいだの期間、ポカホンタスは入植者と頻繁に会 うなかで理解を深め、パウハタン連合のインディアンとしての忠誠心に揺らぎを生じさ せていたのである。つまり、ポカホンタスは、単なるパウハタンの遣いとしての平和友 好のシンボルであることをやめ、自らを平和友好の使者として確立させるに至ったので ある。 本稿の著作権は著者が保持し、クリエイティブ・コモンズ表示 4.0 国際ライセンス（CC-BY）下に提供します。 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.ja 104 論文 ポカホンタスの二つの助命と忠誠心の揺らぎ （塚田 浩幸） Table of contents 1.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.

  • Artsemerson: the World on Stage Announces Royal Shakespeare Company Live Returning with Two Films
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ami Bennitt 617‐797‐8267, [email protected] ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage Announces Royal Shakespeare Company Live Returning With Two Films LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST and LOVE’S LABOUR’S WON Emerson/Paramount Center’s Bright Family Screening Room March and April, 2015 [BOSTON, MA – February 17, 2015] ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage announces RSC Live returning with two film screenings: William Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost (March 6‐8, 2015) and Love’s Labour’s Won also known as Much Ado About Nothing (April 24‐26, 2015) by the U.K.’s Royal Shakespeare Company. Screenings take place at the Emerson/Paramount Center’s Bright Family Screening Room (559 Washington Street in Boston’s historic theatre district). Tickets are $18 and may be purchased at ArtsEmerson.org or by calling 617.824.8400. Love’s Labour’s Lost Synopsis: Summer 1914. In order to dedicate themselves to a life of study, the King and his friends take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. No sooner had they made their pledge than the Princess of France and her ladies‐in‐waiting arrived, presenting them with a severe test of resolve. Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy delights in championing and then unravelling an unrealistic vow, mischievously suggesting that the study of the opposite sex is in fact the highest of all academic endeavors. The merriment is curtailed only at the end of the play as the lovers agree to submit to a period apart, unaware that the world around them is about to be utterly transformed by a war to end all wars.

  • A True Reportory of the Wreck and Redemption of Sir Thomas Gates
    Note: Britain was in the earliest stages of exploring and colonizing North America around the time that Shakespeare wrote The Tempest. Many plot elements and themes in the play reflect the beginning of colonialism in Britain. As well, the following document may very well have inspired the story of shipwrecked nobles that makes up the plot to the play. A True Reportory of the Wreck and Redemption of Sir Thomas Gates, Knight, upon and from the Islands of the Bermudas: His Coming to Virginia and the Estate of that Colony Then and After, under the Government of the Lord La Warr, July 15, 1610, written by William Strachey, Esquire A most dreadful tempest (the manifold deaths whereof are here to the life described), their wreck on Bermuda, and the description of those islands EXCELLENT LADY, Know that upon Friday late in the evening we brake ground out of the sound of Plymouth, our whole fleet then consisting of seven good ships and two pinnaces, all which, from the said second of June unto the twenty-third of July, kept in friendly consort together, not a whole watch at any time losing the sight each of other. Our course, when we came about the height of between 26 and 27 degrees, we declined to the northward, and according to our governor’s instructions, altered the trade and ordinary way used heretofore by Dominica and Nevis in the West Indies and found the wind to this course indeed as friendly, as in the judgment of all seamen it is upon a more direct line, and by Sir George Somers, our admiral, had been likewise in former time sailed, being a gentleman of approved assuredness and ready knowledge in seafaring actions, having often carried command and chief charge in many ships royal of Her Majesty’s, and in sundry voyages made many defeats and attempts in the time of the Spaniard's quarreling with us upon the islands and Indies, etc.
