John Donne: The Reformed Soul. New York: W. W. Norton, 2007. 576 pp. $35.00. Review by SEAN MCDOWELL, SEATTLE UNIVERSITY. In John Donne scholarship, the nonfiction book one is most likely to find not just in libraries but also in chain bookstores across the English-speaking world is John Donne: The Reformed Soul, the new full-length biography of Donne’s life by English scholar John Stubbs. Published first in the U. K. in 2006 and subsequently by W. W. Norton in 2007, John Donne: The Reformed Soul was the recipient of the prestigious Royal Society of Literature Jerwood Award in 2004 as a work-in-progress. It has received commendations from a host literary critics, poets, and writers, including Harold Bloom, Edward Hirsch, Peter Ackroyd, Andrew Motion, and Katherine Duncan-Jones and has garnered for twenty-nine-year-old Stubbs the kind of international fame that not many biographers of Renaissance writers enjoy. How many other biographers can boast of being a finalist in the annual book awards compe- tition sponsored by the Costa Coffee chain? The reasons for the popularity of Stubbs’ biography are easy to see. In his attempt to steer somewhere between what he considers the “pious” account of R. C. Bald’s John Donne: A Life (1970) and the “iconoclastic” account of John Carey’s John Donne: Life, Mind, and Art (1981), Stubbs creates a lively representation of Donne that is at once critical and sympathetic, the product of someone who is dedicated to conveying the complexities of Donne’s personality even while committing himself to the basic thesis that Donne was a “reformed soul” who moved away from the stridency of his family’s illicit Catholicism and toward a broader, less partisan view of human community. The book is well-written stylistically. Indeed, it frequently pos- sesses an almost novelistic energy, as when Stubbs characterizes the immediate aftermath of Donne’s arrest after his clandestine marriage to Ann More in 1602 came to light: “Donne felt his life flaking apart. All that he had spent almost ten years trying to avoid had suddenly come to pass. His struggle to convert outwardly–and inwardly–to the prevailing religious orthodoxy, his ordeals at Cadiz and in the Azores, his day-to-day t-crossing and i-dotting for the Lord Keeper, might all be traced to the simple fear of being confined and hurt, even dying, merely for the sake of who he was”

  • The Rise of Syriza: an Interview with Aristides Baltas

    The Rise of Syriza: an Interview with Aristides Baltas

    THE RISE OF SYRIZA: AN INTERVIEW WITH ARISTIDES BALTAS This interview with Aristides Baltas, the eminent Greek philosopher who was one of the founders of Syriza and is currently a coordinator of its policy planning committee, was conducted by Leo Panitch with the help of Michalis Spourdalakis in Athens on 29 May 2012, three weeks after Syriza came a close second in the first Greek election of 6 May, and just three days before the party’s platform was to be revealed for the second election of 17 June. Leo Panitch (LP): Can we begin with the question of what is distinctive about Syriza in terms of socialist strategy today? Aristides Baltas (AB): I think that independently of everything else, what’s happening in Greece does have a bearing on socialist strategy, which is not possible to discuss during the electoral campaign, but which will present issues that we’re going to face after the elections, no matter how the elections turn out. We haven’t had the opportunity to discuss this, because we are doing so many diverse things that we look like a chicken running around with its head cut off. But this is precisely why I first want to step back to 2008, when through an interesting procedure, Synaspismos, the main party in the Syriza coalition, formulated the main elements of the programme in a book of over 300 pages. The polls were showing that Syriza was growing in popularity (indeed we reached over 15 per cent in voting intentions that year), and there was a big pressure on us at that time, as we kept hearing: ‘you don’t have a programme; we don’t know who you are; we don’t know what you’re saying’.

    Looking for Vulcanius: Plethora and Lacunae

    © 2010 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands (ISBN: 978-90-04-19209-6) LOOKING FOR VULCANIUS: PLETHORA AND LACUNAE Hélène Cazes In 1910, as an introduction to Codices Vulcaniani, P.C. Molhuysen could summarize in one and half page what was known about Vulca- nius: birth and death dates (1538–1614), family (the son of the Bruges humanist Petrus Vulcanius), studies (in Leuven and Ghent, then with Cassander in Germany), employment held (secretary to Francisco da Mendoza and his brother in Spain, preceptor in the Sudermanns’ house, editor and translator in Geneva, secretary to Marnix, professor in Leiden), and collections (manuscripts, essentially). From there, it is possible to gaze both at the plethora of information waiting to be studied; and, at the same time, at the insuperable lacunae, that seem to be inherent in the story of Bonaventura Vulcanius. By the humanist himself, much had been passed on to the library or to common store of knowledge: books written, editions provided, commentaries published or ready for publication, classes taught and remembered, manuscripts collected, papers, and even two portraits. Moreover, he had been given the opportunity to write not only a poetic epitaph for himself but also to compose, or at least supervise, his own first biography. Though he left behind a considerable num- ber of documents and testimonies, Bonaventura Vulcanius also left a cloud of mystery around his name, his activities and his beliefs. In this case, too, much information, volunteered by various interested parties has maintained and even thickened the mysteries raised by his silences, his departures, or his allegiances.

While an awareness of the efflorescence has helped recover a fuller picture of the historical landscape, the enterprise did not foment an appreciable change in Arabic grammatical or linguistic expertise for the majority of seventeenth-century university students learning the language. As a result, the desuetude of Arabic Studies by the 1660s has been regarded as further evidence for the conclusion that the project reaped insubstantial benefits for the history of science and for the Scientific Revolution. Rather, this inquiry contends that the influence of the Arabic transmission of Greek philosophical works extended beyond Renaissance Italy to Stuart England, which not only shared a continuity with the continental reception of Latinized Arabic texts but selectively investigated some sources of original Arabic scientific ideas and methods with new rigor.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

    Phan Bội Châu and the Imagining of Modern Vietnam by Matthew a Berry a Dissertation Submitted in Partia

    Confucian Terrorism: Phan Bội Châu and the Imagining of Modern Vietnam By Matthew A Berry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair Professor Peter Zinoman Professor Emeritus Lowell Dittmer Fall 2019 Abstract Confucian Terrorism: Phan Bội Châu and the Imagining of Modern Vietnam by Matthew A Berry Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair This study considers the life and writings of Phan Bội Châu (1867-1940), a prominent Vietnamese revolutionary and nationalist. Most research on Phan Bội Châu is over forty years old and is contaminated by historiographical prejudices of the Vietnam War period. I seek to re- engage Phan Bội Châu’s writings, activities, and connections by closely analyzing and comparing his texts, using statistical and geographical systems techniques (GIS), and reconsidering previous juridical and historiographical judgments. My dissertation explores nationalism, modernity, comparative religion, literature, history, and law through the life and work of a single individual. The theoretical scope of this dissertation is intentionally broad for two reasons. First, to improve upon work already done on Phan Bội Châu it is necessary to draw on a wider array of resources and insights. Second, I hope to challenge Vietnam’s status as a historiographical peculiarity by rendering Phan Bội Châu’s case comparable with other regional and global examples. The dissertation contains five chapters. The first is a critical analysis of Democratic Republic of Vietnam and Western research on Phan Bội Châu.
