Sidelights. Award-winning Canadian writer Lynne Kositsky is the author of the young adult novels A Question of Will and The Thought of High Windows, as well as several volumes in the "Our Canadian Girl" series for younger readers. Kositsky, a native of Montreal who lives in Toronto, has earned the E. J. Pratt Medal and the Canadian Author and Bookman Award for her poetry, and she garnered the White Raven Award from the International Youth Library in Munich, Germany, for Rachel: A Mighty Big Imagining. Kositsky's debut novel, Candles, appeared in 1998. Candles focuses on a young girl named Anya whose grandmother gives her an old menorah as a Hanukkah gift. When Anya lights the first candle, she is transported back in time to pre-World War II Germany, where she enters the life of Estie, a Jewish girl. Each time Anya lights a candle, she learns more about Estie's history, including her daring escape to England. "Estie's life and through her, Anya's learning to accept and cherish her Jewish identity, are the heart of the story," noted a critic in Resource Links. In A Question of Will, another time-travel story, Kositsky looks at the controversy surrounding the authorship of William Shakespeare's plays. While on a field trip to the Globe Theatre in London, Perin Willoughby suddenly finds herself back in Elizabethan England, where she meets the boorish Will Shakspeare and a host of other colorful characters. After she lands work with an acting company, Perin begins to suspect that the true genius behind the stage dramas she helps to produce is Edward Vere, the earl of Oxford. According to School Library Journal contributor Lynn Bryant, "Kositsky does give a sense of the sights, sounds, smells, and people of sixteenth-century London and addresses the debate over who really wrote Shakespeare's plays." The Thought of High Windows, described as "superb, wrenching Holocaust fiction" by a critic in Kirkus Reviews, was published in 2004. Esther, a Jewish girl who fled Nazi Germany, finds sanctuary in a French castle with a group of refugee children. Life is difficult for Esther: she misses her mother and father, endures the taunts of her fellow refugees, and lives in squalor. "Esther's longing for her family and feelings of depression make her a very real character and her increasing losses and loneliness draw readers into her experiences," observed Beth L. Meister in School Library Journal. When France surrenders to Germany, Esther no longer feels safe and goes on the run, eventually joining the French underground. Martha V. Parravano, reviewing The Thought of High Windows in Horn Book, stated that the author's "focus on human imperfection and quotidian detail poignantly reminds readers that the Holocaust – in all its inhumanity – happened to real human beings." The life of a former slave girl is depicted in Kositsky's tales from the "Our Canadian Girl" series. In Rachel: A Mighty Big Imagining, Rachel and her mother board a ship that will take them from America to Nova Scotia, where Rachel's stepfather awaits. Conditions in their new homeland are harsh and unforgiving, however, and free blacks are not welcomed by all. Despite these hardships, Rachel is determined to learn how to read and write. "This is a simple, believable story told in a straightforward manner," observed K. V. Johansen in Resource Links. Rachel: The Maybe House concerns the family's efforts to move from their horrid pit house to a new home, and Rachel: Certificate of Freedom follows Rachel and her mother after they are sold back into slavery. The final book in the series, Rachel: An Elephant Tree Christmas, adds "a lovely sense of closure," remarked Resource Links contributor David Ward. Biographical and Critical Sources. PERIODICALS.

Enter an average teenage kid on a school trip to London to learn about “the greatest playwright that ever lived.” Left behind by the group and lost on the way to the Globe Theatre, Perin Willoughby (soon to be known as Willow) is drawn towards the foggy Thames near London Bridge and whisked back in time. She recovers in the arms of newfound friend John Pyke, an actor with the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. He soon becomes a love interest. The story that follows – from Willow’s 1595 fall into the arms of her beloved “Pykester” to the end – is gripping. In much the same way as Willow, we are thrown into London theatre life, with all its spit and swashbuckling adventure. As Willow establishes herself in her new grottier surroundings, Kositsky really picks up the pace. (As with Rebecca’s Flame, the author’s second novel, I couldn’t put the book down.) The resolution to this comedy of errors, of gender concealed, disguised and discovered, of love, can only happen if and when de Vere proclaims himself the playwright of Shakespeare’s works, or if Willow returns to the twentieth century. Willow becomes a key player in shady dealings between her roomie Will Shakespeare (who sleeps in his birthday suit) and de Vere. She also becomes a leading actor in the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, gaining popularity with Queen Elizabeth. As a young entrepreneur, she introduces fried spuds (chips in a twist) and sandwiches to the spectators in the pit, and launches history’s first awards show – the Bessies – complete with sealed scrolls and miniature statuettes of the Queen for her majesty’s entertainment. Kositsky even throws in a classic love triangle: Willow likes Pyke likes de Vere’s daughter likes Willow. What novel twists to lighten the gloom and gore, the dust and dirt of London’s theatre scene in the sixteenth century! The language is rich and playful, a mix of Willow’s feisty teenage expressions and Kositsky’s tinkered-with version of Tudor English. The result is a novel that speaks in many tongues, brought alive by the author’s lively alliterations and singular similes – the evil Gabe Spencer’s eyes as “runny as raw egg whites,” “baggage as heavy as a month of Sundays,” and Queen Elizabeth’s teeth like “blackened gravestones in the boneyard of her mouth.” Imaginative and entertaining, A Question of Will could create a whole generation of teenage Shakespeare fans – or should I say Edward de Vere fans?

  • Narcissus (1595) and the Affair at Blackfriars

Winter 2007 “Tilting Under Frieries”: Narcissus (1595) and the Affair At Blackfriars ver since the printing of W.E. Buckley’s 1882 Roxburghe Club limited edition1 of Thomas Edwardes’ Cephalus & EProcris and Narcissus,2 printed from the unique Peterborough copy of the 1595 quarto, the Narcissus L’envoy has posed an enigma for literary historians. Although convoluted syntax complicates analysis, the L’envoy unambiguously functions as an honorific catalogue of major Elizabethan poets: Spenser, Daniel, and Marlowe are all implicated under their respective sobri-quets, as Collyn Clout (v.1), Rosamond (vii.1), and Leander (vii.3).3 The Shakspere Allusion Book4 identifies the passage “Adon 5 6 7 Dr. Robin Fox, Professor of Social Theory at Rutgers University and deafly masking thro,/stately troupes rich conceited” (ix.1-2) as former director of the Guggenheim Foundation headlined the 2006 a reference to the 1593 satiric epyllion Venus and Adonis and, by Joint Conference of the Shakespeare Fellowship and the synecdoche, to Shakespeare himself, an identification followed by Shakespeare Oxford Society Katherine Duncan-Jones among others.8 Stanzas immediately following the Adonis passage have, however, puzzled scholars by reference to an unidentified poet-dramatist whose “golden art” and nd “bewitching pen” should have made him “of our rime/The only 2 Annual Joint Conference object and the star” (x.5-6).

Well, it involves asking myself all sorts of questions to which I don’t yet know the answers, and then I search for the answers. Can we help you? Ask us a question, a very difficult one that you don’t yet have an answer to so that we can also find an answer. Let me think… I know a difficult question. If you could stand in a circle, where would you choose to stand? Philip: In the middle. Why there? Philip: Because then you could see everything really well. George: And if that one person stood in the middle of the circle, then we would all be able to see him very well. Another question, mama. How, in one’s life does one know what is the best thing to do for the future? George: Through your life.
