For Richard's claim to succeed he had to over-ride the potential authorities of an ecclesiastical court and parliament. August 14, Coronavirus delivery updates. Microform in English - Newly augmented, The tragedy of King Richard the Third. Elizabeth herself was arrested in June and was probably not released until sometime after the October rebellion when she married Richard's solicitor-general Thomas Lynom. By James Doyle Courtesy: Geoffrey Wheeler The accounts of 13 June, some more brief than others, basically agree, More of course providing the most colourful and detailed version. It is not possible to say if there is any truth in the story that Clarence had discovered details of the pre-contract between King Edward and Lady Eleanor Butler, although there is circumstantial evidence that does give rise to such speculation. With King Edward's death change was inevitable and each of those closest to the late King quickly assessed their own priorities. It should also be remembered that there was another obvious connection between Dorset and Hastings in the person of the latter's step-daughter, Cecily, who was married to the former, who may well have visited her husband in sanctuary and could have acted as mediator with her stepfather. No attempt was made to determine their sex. He wrote that Hastings was shocked by Richard's high handed actions at Northampton and repented his earlier support. The last two events testify to the efforts made by Richard to explain the intricacies of his title in canon law to his people, and probably also to his sincere acceptance of its validity. The Society will, however, welcome a re-examination if and when the authorities are prepared to give permission. Neither sex nor century of death could be determined, however. King Richard the Third: a tragedy , Printed by assignment for J. He was less scholarly in his approach than Buck, but he too spent time castigating historians — and Sir Thomas More.

A major new biography of the young Richard III.

Those who have studied Latin or even French or German or Spanish and those who are used to reading poetry will have little difficulty understanding the language of poetic drama. Milford, Oxford University Press. He also said that the second John had been taken prisoner at Bosworth, and executed two days later, and there certainly was a John Buck who was attainted after the battle. Richard amazingly under such circumstances wins Anne and marries her. Richard 3 October , Tandem Library. The Princes in the Tower —'Shall I be plain? Camden, although stating that Richard murdered his nephews and usurped the throne, added that ' in the opinion of the wise, he is to be reckon'd in the number of bad men, but of good Princes '. It was altogether more plausible that Lady Eleanor had insisted on a contract of marriage than that the king's ' witty concubine ' had done so. Richard III: York Notes Advanced Writer A tragedy. The second fact of Richard's claim -- often forgotten by commentators -- was that Edward's marriage to Elizabeth was clandestine, private, before only a few witnesses, with no banns called and no participation of the king's ministers. A Page at Middleham This also seemed to reinforce the earlier stories of a difficult birth. According to Mancini it was common knowledge that Hastings had been in contact with Richard. With the landing of the Earl of Richmond, and the battle at Bosworth-Field. Audio CD in English - Abridged edition. Bishop Stillington's revelation that he had witnessed the pre-contract of Edward IV to Lady Eleanor Butler is one of the most contentious issues in Ricardian studies, dismissed by many as a hollow story. Challenging traditional practice,the text is based on the Quarto which, it is argued, brings us closest to the play as it would have been staged in Shakespeare's theatre. During the weeks that followed Richard took control of the government and plans moved forward for the coronation, now to take place on 22 June. A major new biography of the young Richard III. King Richard the Third , Penguin. He does however retain a degree of objectivity, and there is no portrayal of Richard as a monster. The question remains unanswered as to whether there was a genuine plot against Richard and, if this was the case, whether Hastings was personally involved. Coral Ann Howells. Stallworthe also reported that the London residences of Rotherham and Ely were occupied, and possibly their country homes as well, by Richard's men. One of the most famous passages in her work is that in which she discusses Richard's behaviour in seeking out the widowed Anne Neville, whom, according to the Crowland chronicler, Clarence had ' caused to be concealed ':. She used many original sources, including BL Harleian ms. Mancini portrays the events as beginning with Hastings, Rotherham and Ely making a customary call upon Richard in the Tower at ten o'clock. This may account for his brevity or possibly reflect a disapproval or dislike of Hastings which resulted in his failure to provide a fuller commentary on what was a significant event.

Dutton in English. Keith Dockray calls Walpole's line of argument ' superficially plausible ' and ' he concluded that many of the crimes attributed to the king were not only improbable but contrary to his own interests and clearly at odds with what can definitely be deduced about his character '. Hastings' relations with the Woodvilles spanned many years. Richard III: York Notes Advanced Reviews This would not have been surprising: after all this was true of the attitude between Clarence and the Woodvilles, and most people of the time disliked the Woodvilles. In an English sentence, meaning is quite dependent on the place given each word. As Buck says, when the Duchess of York exhorted and urged her son to acknowledge his first wife and not marry Elizabeth [Woodville], Lady Grey, she was not speaking of ' the daughter of one Wayte, of Southampton, a mean gentleman, if he were one ' but ' the daughter of a great peer of this realm, a man of most noble and illustrious family ', ' a fair and virtuous lady '. Richard the Third: a tragedy , Pub. Further testimony to the seriousness of the charges against him was supplied by Stallworthe in his 21 June letter to Sir William Stonor when he reported that men feared for Forster's life. While reminiscing Hastings told how well things were with him at the present as he knew that his enemy and author of his former trouble Rivers would that day die at Pontefract. It is Thomas More who first hinted that Richard might have been involved with Clarence's death: 'Some wise men also ween that his drift covertly conveyed, lacked not in helping forth his brother of Clarence to his death. Woodvilles surrounded Edward like a glittering hedge … [4]. One of the most famous passages in her work is that in which she discusses Richard's behaviour in seeking out the widowed Anne Neville, whom, according to the Crowland chronicler, Clarence had ' caused to be concealed ':. As you begin to read the opening scenes of a Shakespeare play, you may notice occasional unfamiliar words. George that he had built at Windsor. Ashby de la Zouche Castle. Although they agreed that the young King was ' utterly oppressyd and wrongyd ' by Richard, their policy would be to wait and see. Stallworthe also reported that the London residences of Rotherham and Ely were occupied, and possibly their country homes as well, by Richard's men. Both Mancini and the Crowland Chronicler give crucial information on the events from April to July, but their interpretation of the facts and rumours they had access to can be questioned. Richard the Third: by William Shakespeare : the sixth quarto, : a facsimile in photo-lithography by Charles Praetorius , C. Richard benefited from the death of Clarence, and there is no evidence to indicate that he went against Edward and put in a good word to try and save Clarence. We don't know if Sir George Buck was a member or not, but it seems very likely. The execution of Clarence in is often cited as the reason for Richard's withdrawal from court and his hatred for the Woodvilles. Richard III , Macmillan.

  • Shakespeare and the Supernatural
    Introduction: Shakespeare and the supernatural V i c t o r i a B l a d e n a n d Ya n B r a i l o w s k y Supernatural elements constitute a signifi cant dimension of Shakespeare ’ s plays: ghosts haunt political spaces and internal psyches; witches foresee the future and disturb the present; fairies meddle with love; natural portents and dreams foreshadow events; and a magus conjures a tempest from the elements. Th ese aspects contribute to the dramatic power and intrigue of the plays, whether they are treated in performance with irony, comedic eff ect or unsettling gravity. Although Shakespeare ’ s plays were written and performed for early modern audiences, for whom the supernatural, whether sacred, demonic or folkloric, was still part of the fabric of everyday life, these supernatural elements continue to enthral us, and maintain their power to raise a range of questions in more contemporary contexts. Supernatural elements implicitly question the border between the human and the non-human, and between the visible and the unseen. Th ey also raise questions of control and agency that intersect with the exercise of power, a central focus across Shakespeare ’ s œuvre . Shakespeare drew on the supernatural in all of his dramatic genres and throughout his career, from the early histories (such as Richard III and Henry VI, Part II ) to the late romances (such as Th e Winter’s Tale, Cymbeline and Th e Tempest ), in tragedies ( Julius Caesar, Hamlet and Macbeth ) and in comedy ( A Midsummer Night’s Dream ), suggesting the importance of the supernatural in his approach to drama.

  • Shakespeare Authorship Question 1 Shakespeare Authorship Question
    Shakespeare authorship question 1 Shakespeare authorship question The Shakespeare authorship question is the argument that someone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon wrote the works traditionally attributed to him, and that the historical Shakespeare was merely a front to shield the identity of the real author or authors, who for reasons such as social rank, state security or gender could not safely take public credit.[1] Although the idea has attracted much public interest,[2] all but a few Shakespeare scholars and literary historians consider it a fringe belief with no hard evidence, and for the most part disregard it except to rebut or disparage the claims.[3] Shakespeare's authorship was first questioned in the middle of the 19th century, when adulation of Shakespeare as the greatest writer of all time had become widespread.[4] Shakespeare's biography, with his humble origins and obscure life, seemed incompatible with his poetic eminence and reputation as a natural genius,[5] arousing suspicion that Shakespeare might not have written the works attributed to him.[6] Shakespeare surrounded by (clockwise from top right): Bacon, Derby, Marlowe and Oxford, each of whom has been [7] The controversy has since spawned a vast body of literature, proposed as the true author. and more than 70 authorship candidates have been proposed,[8] including Francis Bacon, the Earl of Derby, Christopher Marlowe, and the Earl of Oxford.[9] Proponents believe that their candidate is the more plausible author in terms of education, life experience

  • George Buck Senior and George Buck Junior: a Literary-Historical Mystery Story
    George Buck senior and George Buck junior: A literary-historical mystery story A. N. KINCAID HISTORICAL MYSTERIES become more intriguing when they produce mysteries of their own. One such detective story surrounds the fate of Sir George Buck’s History of King Richard the Third, written in 1619, which has yet to see the light in anything like the form in which its author wrote it. What we find on the shelves of our libraries and antiquarian booksellers is a very different work: George Buck, Esq.’s History of the Life and Reigne of Richard the Third, published in 1646, reissued in 1647 from the sheets of the original publi- cation, and, despite its almost complete worthlessness and comparative accessi- bility, recently reprinted. Sir George Buck was a well-reputed figure of his age. Master of the Revels under King James I, he is of vital importance to literary scholars because he licensed the later works of Shakespeare and many plays by other noted Renaissance authors. Scholarly attainment and acumen were essential to his official task, but he put them to use in the pursuit of his hobby, which was antiquarian research. Born in 1560 and trained possibly at Cambridge and certainly at the Inns of Court,1 he became one of the most exemplary scholars of his era. His account of the educational facilities in contemporary London, The Third University of England, was published in the 1615 edition of Stow’s Annales.2 To celebrate the accession of James I he wrote an historical poem Daphm's Polystephanos, extolling James’s royal ancestors, and published it in 1605.

  • By a Thesis Submitted in Conformity with the Requirements for The
    BRITAIN’S TROJAN ORIGINS: ANATOMY OF A CRITICAL NARRATIVE by PETER LÁTKA A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by peter látka 2015 BRITAIN’S TROJAN ORIGINS: ANATOMY OF A CRITICAL NARRATIVE Peter Látka Department of English University of Toronto ABSTRACT Following the publication of Thomas Kendrick’s British Antiquity (1950), understanding of the Brutus myth’s lifecycle has been conventionalized as a critical narrative structured according to four narrative pillars. While different details appear in various authors’ accounts, four features of the conventional narrative are nearly always mentioned. First, the legend of Britain’s Trojan origins has its popular origins with Monmouth’s Historia (c.1180) and, while there are a few contemporary detractors, the legend circulates unchallenged until the appearance of mid-fifteenth-century humanists. Second, in 1485, with the accession of the Welsh Henry Tudor, the popularity of the legend experiences a resurgence that is termed the “Tudor Cult” or “Tudor Myth.” Third, the Italian historian Polydore Vergil questions the veracity of the legend in his Anglica Historia (1534). Given Polydore’s status as a foreigner, however, his arguments do not gain traction with the English. Finally, it is only with the Camden-led antiquarian approach consolidated in his Britannia (1586, 1607) that the death-knell sounds for the Brutus myth. Kendrick’s narrative about the antiquarian camp’s victory over the Brutus myth remains an entrenched feature of twenty-first-century scholarship. And yet, this universally ii accepted critical model is built upon a priori argumentation, artificial frameworks, conjecture that moves from single examples to general conclusions, chronological leaps with the use of evidence that spans decades (even centuries), and, in a few instances, the misrepresentation of evidence.

  • Lady Eleanor Butler and John Crowne's The
    Lady Eleanor Butler and John Crowne’s The Misery of Civil War (1680) BARBARA A. MURRAY For an audience in the early spring of 1680 the title of John Crowne’s play must have seemed unnervingly topical.1 It was most probably produced during the anxious months between the third and fourth parliaments of Charles II’s reign, in both of which legislative attempts were made to exclude his catholic brother, James, from the succession; in fact the years between 1679 and 1681 are generally referred to as those of the Exclusion Crisis. This was also the period in which murderous social hysteria, generated more than a year before by Titus Oates’ claims to have discovered a ‘Popish Plot’ to murder the king, reached its height, and the time in which the terms ‘Whig’ and ‘Tory’ first entered the national vocabulary, as stark political lines were drawn between people’s allegiances. The play is in fact an adaptation of parts of Shakespeare’s 2 and 3 Henry VI, its plot opening with Jack Cade’s rebellion, and then harking back to Henry IV’s usurpation as it enacts the ousting of Henry VI by the Yorkist faction while presaging the murderous activities of Shakespeare’s Richard III. Insurrection and usurpation must have been dangerous topics in 1680 and, given that another play about usurpation (Nahum Tate’s version of Richard II) was itself to be banned a year later, it is perhaps hardly surprising that Crowne’s play may have had only one performance.2 Some playwrights who dealt in dangerous subjects at this time hid behind their source material for protection, but Crowne was not one of them.

  • Bones in the Tower: a Discussion of Time, Place and Circumstance. Part 1
    Bones in the Tower: A Discussion of Time, Place and Circumstance. Part 1 HELEN MAURER ON 24 JUNE 1483, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, claimed the throne of England in his nephew's place. The two young Princes were last seen with certainty within the Tower of London. Whatever their actual fate, reports of their unnatural demise - often implicating Richard - became current soon after Richard's accession. Given the uncertainty of the times, these rumours are not surprising. Just as tellingly, after Henry Tudor's victory at Bosworth alternate rumours arose that at least one of the Princes had survived. But the Tudors remained in power, and Richard's guilt stuck. Nearly 200 years after the Princes' disappearance, the bones of two children were found during demolition work within the Inmost Ward of the Tower of London. Accepted as the Princes' bones, they were placed in an urn in Westminster Abbey.I Continuing interest in these bones has focused largely on identity: are they or are they not the bones of the Princes? - and on its corollary: should Richard be held responsible for their deaths? Intriguing as these questions are, I suggest that a fixation with them has blinded us to other bone-related matters that might be investigated with profit. For these were not the first bones, nor the last, to be found within the Tower of London. Their uniqueness is a product of the urn and our own perceptions. Thus, one possible line of investigation should ask why these bones were accepted and put in a place of prominent display, while others were not.
