Conclusion . ............................... 303 Bibliography . ............................... 311 Acknowledgments In the writing of this book I have come to owe much to many. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Barbara Schmidt-Haberkamp, who not only introduced me to the “bottomless pit” that is the eighteenth century, but who was also a constant source of support and encouragement for this project far above and beyond the call of duty. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Rolf Lessenich, who has been a meticulous and careful critic. Additionally, I am very grateful for the generous support of the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies as well as the Maria von Linden-Programme at the University of Bonn, who provided me with travel grants, and thus offered me the opportunity to present and discuss my work at several of the society’s annual meetings at St.Hugh’s College, Oxford. I am particularly grateful to the FAZIT-Stiftung for providing me with a generous bursary that contributed toward the publication costs of this book. More personal thanks are due to Joana Stausberg, Marc Petersdorff and Wiebke Kuttner, who sympathised, distracted, reassured and proofread. They are, also, a great joy to be with. My parents’ support throughout it all has been tremendous – they did not only encourage all my academic and not-so academic endeavours, steadfastly caring and supportive, but they also taught me early on to cherish mimicry: Thank you. Thank you.

Introduction 1.1 From “sceptred isle” to “rushing forests” This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle […] This fortress built by Nature for herself […] This precious stone set in the silver sea (King Richard II, 2.1.40 –46, c. 1595) Thy Trees, fair Windsor! now shall leave their Woods, And half thy Forests rush into my Floods, Bear Britain’s Thunder, and her Cross display, To the bright Regions of the rising Day; Tempt Icy Seas, where scarce the Waters roll, Where clearer Flames glow round the frozen Pole; Or under Southern Skies exalt their Sails, Led by new Stars, and borne by spicy Gales! (Windsor Forest, 385–392, 1713) Moving from John of Gaunt’s well-known invocation of England as “this scep- tred isle”1 in William Shakespeare’s King Richard II to Alexander Pope’s epic poem Windsor Forest and its image of forests “rushing into floods” one traces a remarkable shift with regard to England’s representation. From a view of Eng- land as a “precious stone”, “set” solitarily in the sea, the image has changed to an invocation of the expansive potential of England’s insularity. The former image invokes the vision of a static “natural fortress” being secured by the “silver sea”, whereas the latter trembles with anticipation of movement and foreign “bright 1 William Shakespeare, King Richard II, ed.

  • John Dryden and the Late 17Th Century Dramatic Experience Lecture 16 (C) by Asher Ashkar Gohar 1 Credit Hr
    JOHN DRYDEN AND THE LATE 17TH CENTURY DRAMATIC EXPERIENCE LECTURE 16 (C) BY ASHER ASHKAR GOHAR 1 CREDIT HR. JOHN DRYDEN (1631 – 1700) HIS LIFE: John Dryden was an English poet, literary critic, translator, and playwright who was made England's first Poet Laureate in 1668. He is seen as dominating the literary life of Restoration England to such a point that the period came to be known in literary circles as the “Age of Dryden”. The son of a country gentleman, Dryden grew up in the country. When he was 11 years old the Civil War broke out. Both his father’s and mother’s families sided with Parliament against the king, but Dryden’s own sympathies in his youth are unknown. About 1644 Dryden was admitted to Westminster School, where he received a predominantly classical education under the celebrated Richard Busby. His easy and lifelong familiarity with classical literature begun at Westminster later resulted in idiomatic English translations. In 1650 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. degree in 1654. What Dryden did between leaving the university in 1654 and the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 is not known with certainty. In 1659 his contribution to a memorial volume for Oliver Cromwell marked him as a poet worth watching. His “heroic stanzas” were mature, considered, sonorous, and sprinkled with those classical and scientific allusions that characterized his later verse. This kind of public poetry was always one of the things Dryden did best. On December 1, 1663, he married Elizabeth Howard, the youngest daughter of Thomas Howard, 1st earl of Berkshire.

  • Pepys Greenwich Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

  • The Tragedy of Hamlet
    THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET THE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET EDITED BY EDWARD DOWDEN n METHUEN AND CO. 36 ESSEX STREET: STRAND LONDON 1899 9 5 7 7 95 —— CONTENTS PAGE Introduction ix The Tragedy of Hamlet i Appendix I. The "Travelling" of the Players. 229 Appendix II.— Some Passages from the Quarto of 1603 231 Appendix III. Addenda 235 INTRODUCTION This edition of Hamlet aims in the first place at giving a trustworthy text. Secondly, it attempts to exhibit the variations from that text which are found in the primary sources—the Quarto of 1604 and the Folio of 1623 — in so far as those variations are of importance towards the ascertainment of the text. Every variation is not recorded, but I have chosen to err on the side of excess rather than on that of defect. Readings from the Quarto of 1603 are occa- sionally given, and also from the later Quartos and Folios, but to record such readings is not a part of the design of this edition. 1 The letter Q means Quarto 604 ; F means Folio 1623. The dates of the later Quartos are as follows: —Q 3, 1605 161 1 undated 6, For ; Q 4, ; Q 5, ; Q 1637. my few references to these later Quartos I have trusted the Cambridge Shakespeare and Furness's edition of Hamlet. Thirdly, it gives explanatory notes. Here it is inevitable that my task should in the main be that of selection and condensation. But, gleaning after the gleaners, I have perhaps brought together a slender sheaf.

  • Conference About Succession
    A CONFERENCE ABOUT THE NEXT SUCCESSION 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is a modern-spelling edition of A Conference about the Next Succession to the Crown of England. The frame story of A Conference is a fictitious conference in Amsterdam in the spring of 1593, fully described in the Preface to Part I. In that fictitious frame story, the principal speakers are two lawyers, the one an expert in the civil law of England, the other an expert in the common law. This frame story in itself makes it clear that the author himself had a legal background. The civil lawyer puts forward his arguments in Part I (or rather, the author of A Conference puts forward his arguments through the mouth of the fictitious civil lawyer). In Part II, it is the turn of the fictitious expert in the common law. The title page promises that ‘a new & perfect arbour or genealogy of the descents of all the Kings and Princes of England from the Conquest unto this day’ can be found at the end of the tract whereby the claims of all the current pretenders to the English crown will be made plain. This ‘arbour’ or genealogy may have been based on the work of Francis Peto (see below, and TNA SP 70/137, ff. 319-21). Unfortunately this promise is not fulfilled. The ‘arbour or genealogy’ does not appear, suggesting that the author of A Conference did not play a role in the book’s publication. A Conference is a well organized and well thought out presentation.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Henry Purcell
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Henry Purcell - Suite from King Arthur Born sometime in 1659, place unknown. Died November 21, 1695, London, England. Suite from King Arthur Purcell composed his semi-opera King Arthur, with texts by John Dryden, in 1691. The first performance was given at the Dorset Garden Theatre in London in May of that year. The orchestra for this suite of instrumental excerpts consists of two oboes and english horn, two trumpets, timpani, and strings, with continuo provided by bassoon and harpsichord. Performance time is approximately twenty minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has performed music from Purcell's King Arthur (Trumpet Tune, "Ye blust'ring brethren of the skies," with Charles W. Clark as soloist, and Grand Dance: Chaconne) only once previously, on subscription concerts at the Auditorium Theatre on December 13 and 14, 1901, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Henry Purcell is the one composer who lived and worked before J. S. Bach who has found a place in the symphonic repertory. The Chicago Symphony played Purcell's music as early as 1901, when it programmed three selections from King Arthur on the first of its new "historical" programs designed to "illustrate the development of the orchestra and its literature, from the earliest times down to the present day." Purcell still stands at the very beginning of the modern orchestra's repertory, although he is best known to today's audiences for the cameo appearance his music makes in Benjamin Britten's twentieth- century classic, the Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. Purcell is regularly described as the finest English composer before Edward Elgar, if not as the greatest English composer of all.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
