URL: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/447118. The figures in this cotton panel were once part of a larger hanging of men and women displayed in Armenian, Indian, Persian and European fashion, originating in the Deccan. They were likely produced either for the Golcondan court or by consumers for circulation and display in India or Europe. They are a striking example of the confluence of cosmopolitan cultural expression prevalent in the Deccan at the time. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Names: Pettigrew, William A.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns 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 thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

  • The Figure of Stigma in Shakespeare's Drama
    The Figure of Stigma in Shakespeare’s Drama jeffrey r. wilson This article theorizes a tradition in William Shakespeare’s drama involving some of his greatest and most captivating characters, including, among others, Rich- ard III, Aaron the Moor, Shylock the Jew, Edmund the Bastard, Falstaff, Ther- sites, and Caliban. With some rotations in the cast, this set of characters was frst dubbed “the evil” by Bernard Spivack (1958), then “the strangers” by Leslie A. Fiedler (1972), and most recently “the villains” by Maurice Charney (2012) and “the outsiders” by Marianne Novy (2013). These characters point back to the Vice of earlier English drama, as Spivack observes, but Novy deserves special recogni- tion for her argument that their identities are not fxed but relative. Shakespeare’s outsiders become insiders, she points out, and some are outsiders among the other characters in the drama yet insiders with us in the audience, a characteristic inherited from the Vice. Yet Novy’s own use of the label “outsiders,” like Fiedler’s “strangers,” gives the impression of a certifable character type on par with the braggart soldier or the clever slave. If the identities of these characters are indeed relative, then we need a way to think about them not only as characters but also as components of cultural paradigms and artistic designs. In this article therefore I combine the literary historian Erich Auerbach’s ([1946] 1953) account of “fgural realism” with the sociologist Erving Goffman’s (1963) theory of “stigma” to establish a vocabulary to explain how Shakespeare applied, rearranged, avoided, and dis- mantled what I call the “fgure of stigma.” I would like to thank Victoria Silver, Julia Reinhard Lupton, audiences at Case Western Reserve University and Harvard University’s Renaissance Colloquium, and the anonymous readers at Genre for comments and conversations about the ideas presented in this essay.

  • The Story of Sir Launcelot and His Companions
    The Story of Sir Launcelot And His Companions By Howard Pyle The Story of Sir Launcelot and His Companions PART I The Chevalier of the Cart. Here followeth the story of Sir Launcelot of the Lake, how he went forth to rescue Queen Guinevere from that peril in which she lay at the castle of Sir Mellegrans. Likewise it is told how he met with a very untoward adventure, so that he was obliged to ride to his undertaking in a cart as aforesaid. Chapter First How Denneys Found Sir Launcelot, and How Sir Launcelot Rode Forth for to Rescue Queen Guinevere from the Castle of Sir Mellegrans, and of What Befell him upon the Assaying of that Adventure. Now after that sad and sorrowful company of the Queen had thus been led away captive by Sir Mellegrans as aforetold of, they rode forward upon their way for all that day. And they continued to ride after the night had fallen, and at that time they were passing through a deep dark forest. From this forest, about midnight, they came out into an open stony place whence before them they beheld where was built high up upon a steep hill a grim and forbidding castle, standing very dark against the star-lit sky. And behind the castle there was a town with a number of lights and a bell was tolling for midnight in the town. And this town and castle were the town and the castle of Sir Mellegrans. How Denneys escaped. Now the Queen had riding near to her throughout that doleful journey a young page named Denneys, and as they had ridden upon their way, she had taken occasion at one place to whisper to him: "Denneys, if thou canst find a chance of escape, do so, and take news of our plight to some one who may rescue us." So it befel that just as they came out thus into that stony place, and in the confusion that arose when they reached the steep road that led up to the castle, Denneys drew rein a little to one side.
