Deposit guide Contact: email The Representations of Hercules and Hydra in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus Takashi Nishi Department of English and Humanities Birkbeck College, University of London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, October 2013 Abstract This thesis relates Coriolanus to traditions of Renaissance and Reformation thinking on Hercules and Hydra, which had acquired new connotations in the age after neglect during the Middle Ages; and this study investigates the play’s engagement with that material and more precisely its active relationships to texts and ideas at present under-represented in its critical reception and especially by Shakespearean critics. Coriolanus highlights the conflict between the patricians including heroic Coriolanus and the plebeians, and Coriolanus describes the plebeians as “the many-headed multitude” like “Hydra” (2.3.16-17; 3.1.96). Coriolanus is compared to Hercules (4.6.104), and battle between Hercules and the many-headed Hydra is suggested in the play. If Hydra symbolises subjects, likewise Hercules stands for rulers. In short, the closer examination of Hercules and Hydra leads us to a deeper understanding of Shakespeare’s presentation of rulers and subjects.

  • OLYMPUS PARODIED and the JEWELLED GODS Delivered Wednesday, April 5, 1978
    The Messenger Lectures Cornell University, Ithaca, NY REVIVAL AND METAMORPHOSES OF THE GODS IN NINETEENTH CENTURY ART AND LITERATURE by JEAN SEZNEC The Marshal Foch Professor of French Literature, Emeritus University of Oxford LECTURE V OLYMPUS PARODIED AND THE JEWELLED GODS Delivered Wednesday, April 5, 1978 In the years between 1850 and 1860, there was a controversy, or rather a series of controversies, about mythological subjects in art. The critics of the Salons kept asking the general question: “are heroic or religious themes still acceptable?” “Is a return to these themes really possible, and desirable? Castagnary wondered at the Salon of 1857, is humanity finished with these two sources of inspiration? If there is to be a religious or mythological art of the future, it should present new motifs, full of intimate and penetrating poetry. That Salon of 1857 was in fact considered as the cradle of the so-called humanitarian art “le berceau de l’art humanitaire.” From now on, humanity should be the only symbol, the only religion. No complex symbolism of pagan or Christian art, no more understandable to the Chinese than their dragons and fantastic monsters are for the western man. Pagan and catholic allegories are impenetrable to foreigners, and equally indifferent to the modern spirit of the people which they serve. Courbet, writing in 1866, was even more explicit. He spoke of course as the founder of realism – now realistic art was essentially – in Courbet’s own words – a protest, a reaction against paganism. Greek and Roman art, the Renaissance, Catholicism, the gods and the demi- gods.

  • Reframing the Metamorphoses: the Enabling of Political Allegory in Late Medieval Ovidian Narrative D
    Reframing the Metamorphoses: The Enabling of Political Allegory in Late Medieval Ovidian Narrative Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amanda J. Gerber Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Lisa J. Kiser, Advisor Frank Coulson Ethan Knapp Copyright by Amanda J. Gerber 2011 Abstract This study develops a critical method for reading the vernacular frame narratives of Chaucer, Gower, and Lydgate based on the grammar-school commentaries that taught them classical rhetoric, philology, and history. In the course of developing this method, I answer the following questions: why do the school texts and vernacular works exist in the same format? Why is it that Christian writers appropriate the structuring principles of Ovid’s pagan Metamorphoses for their works? Furthermore, what inspired England’s obsession with Ovidian narrative structure during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries? Chaucer, Gower, and Lydgate, to name just a few, participated in this Ovidian vogue— attempting to capture the Roman’s sinister and playful voice and, more specifically, to master the frame-narrative device that gave it critical direction. Seeing Ovid’s collection of pagan myths as a cohesive and continuous poem, medieval commentators uncovered an argument about abuses of power. Vernacular writers adopted this approach to Ovid, interpreting his work as a model for literary navigation in a historically turbulent period. I hereby alter the assumption that medieval writers mined classical literature merely as sources for their compilations of exempla with which to practice moralizing strategies.

    1 SYMBOLS AND SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE IN THE VISUAL ARTS Anthony Colantuono, Professor Fall 2015 Dept. of Art History and Archaeology University of Maryland, College Park Office: Rm. 4229 Art/Sociology Bldg Office Phone: x5-1496 E-mail: <[email protected]> Office Hours: T 12-2PM Lectures: T&Th 9:30-10:45AM Course Description: This course currently has no GenEd applicability. It is a 3-credit, 300-level Art History course. This Course Uses the Standard University Grading: See Undergraduate Catalogue: http://www.umd.edu/catalog/index.cfm/show/content.section/c/27/ss/1584/s/1534 The study of visual signs and symbols has long been a topic of art-historical interest, and over the past century the discipline of Art History has developed a broad array of methods for the study and interpretation of these often enigmatic images. This 3-credit course surveys the use of symbols and symbolic language in world art and material culture from ancient times through the present, also presenting the fundamental primary and secondary literatures pertaining to this topic, and examining the methodological and more broadly philosophical conditions that govern their interpretation. Because the scholarly literature concerning the interpretation of symbols has undergone a massive revolution over the past 25 or 30 years, more recent scholars have found it difficult to connect their modes of inquiry with those of previous generations. Instead of consigning these older, pre-1980s traditions of scholarship to oblivion, this course employs the language and logic of 'sustainability'—more familiar from the fields of engineering and environmental science—as a means of recovering or 'recycling' the often quite valid insights of this increasingly forgotten body of literature.

  • Studies on the Pictorial History of Astronomy and Astrology for a Major
    Reading the Stars of the Renaissance. Fritz Saxl and Astrology Rembrandt Duits In the introduction to the volume of lectures by Fritz Saxl, which Penguin published in 1970, Ernst Gombrich remarks that ‘it would be misleading to see in Saxl’s career principally that of a devoted follower’.1 We can sense behind these words the exceptional dilemma that confronts all students of Saxl’s work – how to assess the contribution to art history of one of the finest scholars of the twentieth century without shifting the focus to that of his so much more famous mentor, Aby Warburg. This dilemma is perhaps most pronounced in the case of Saxl’s studies on the pictorial history of astronomy and astrology, a subject which he might never have delved into seriously had it not been for Warburg’s promptings.2 Yet, while Warburg’s shadow undeniably looms large, Saxl’s successive publications on the topic also reveal how he developed an approach to some of the problems and questions originally set by Warburg that became progressively his own. In the present paper, I hope to show a little of this development through a brief comparative analysis of Saxl’s principal theories on astrological images, with an emphasis on what is perhaps his most mature achievement in the field, his theory of the transmission of constellation iconography. In Warburg’s footsteps: the iconography of the planets Regardless of whether he chose to study the history of astrology out of his own interest or was stimulated to do so by Warburg, studies on the representation of the heavenly bodies and their supposed influence on the sub-lunar world form a major This article was presented as a paper at the Warburg Institute Archive Seminar on 16 June 2008.
