  • John Lyly's Sappho and Phao
    John Lyly’s Sappho and Phao: From Light/Dark Imagery to Shadows of a Likeness Shelly Hsin-yi Hsieh* ABSTRACT This article examines John Lyly’s second court comedy, Sappho and Phao (1584) in light of its appropriation of the interplay between brightness and darkness. While chiaroscuro may be an anachronistic descriptor, the term points at signifi- cant similarities. This artistic technique was still new to English painters before the late 1590s. It derives from Greco-Roman approaches to light/dark contrasts and black-white juxtapositions. The Italian artist Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo intro- duced this skill in his Trattato dell’Arte (1584), which was first rendered into English by Richard Haydocke in 1598. Haydocke, however, did not use the term chiaro- scuro directly, but interpreted it as the interplay between light and shadow. In re- sponse to Haydocke’s translation, Nicholas Hilliard’s Arte of Limning (1600) also elaborated on the extent to which a painter must capture the substance with the effect of shadow, especially when the sitter for a likeness is Queen Elizabeth I. Alt- hough these references could not have appeared on Lyly’s reading list when he was composing the play, Sappho and Phao presents a cycle of pictorial episodes limned through the euphuistic effect of light/dark imagery, a dramatic device derived in part from Lyly’s classical training and also exemplifying Lyly’s euphuism (a subtle style of antithesis and balance). KEYWORDS Sappho and Phao, euphuistic, light/dark imagery, shadow, likeness Ex-position, Issue No. 43, June 2020 | National Taiwan University DOI: 10.6153/EXP.202006_(43).0008 Shelly Hsin-yi HSIEH, Assistant Professor, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan 159 * The right coral needeth no colouring.

NV14 t\o, SHARING THE LIGHT: FEMININE POWER IN TUDOR AND STUART COMEDY DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Jane Hinkle Tanner, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1994 Tanner, Jane Hinkle, Sharing the Light; Feminine Power in Tudor and Stuart Comedy. Doctor of Philosophy (English), May, 1994, 418 pp., works cited, 419 titles; works consulted, 102 titles. Studies of the English Renaissance reveal a patriarchal structure that informed its politics and its literature; and the drama especially demonstrates a patriarchal response to what society perceived to be the problem of women's efforts to grow beyond the traditional medieval view of "good" women as chaste, silent, and obedient. Thirteen comedies, whose creation spans roughly the same time frame as the pamphlet wars of the so-called "woman controversy," from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries, feature women who have no public power, but who find opportunities for varying degrees of power in the private or domestic setting. Early comedies, Ralph Roister Doister. Gammer Gurton's Needle. The Supposes, and Campaspe, have representative female characters whose opportunities for power are limited by class and age.

  • Renaissance Drama- Unit I
    Renaissance Drama- Unit I 1 Background 2 The Elizabethan and Jacobean Ages 3 Offshoots of Renaissance Drama 4 Major poets of this Age 5 Elizabethan Prose 6 Elizabethan Drama 7 Other Playwrights during this period 8 Conclusion 9 Important Questions 1 Background 1.1 Introduction to Renaissance Drama: Renaissance" literally means "rebirth." It refers especially to the rebirth of learning that began in Italy in the fourteenth century, spread to the north, including England, by the sixteenth century, and ended in the north in the mid-seventeenth century (earlier in Italy). During this period, there was an enormous renewal of interest in and study of classical antiquity. Yet the Renaissance was more than a "rebirth." It was also an age of new discoveries, both geographical (exploration of the New World) and intellectual. Both kinds of discovery resulted in changes of tremendous import for Western civilization. In science, for example, Copernicus (1473-1543) attempted to prove that the sun rather than the earth was at the center of the planetary system, thus radically altering the cosmic world view that had dominated antiquity and the Middle Ages. In religion, Martin Luther (1483-1546) challenged and ultimately caused the division of one of the major institutions that had united Europe throughout the Middle Ages--the Church. In fact, Renaissance thinkers often thought of themselves as ushering in the modern age, as distinct from the ancient and medieval eras Study of the Renaissance might well center on five interrelated issues. First, although Renaissance thinkers often tried to associate themselves with classical antiquity and to dissociate themselves from the Middle Ages, important continuities with their recent past, such as belief in the Great Chain of Being, were still much in evidence.

I HATEVER judgmeut modern critics may j^ass on the writings of Lilly, it is certain they produced a marked effect on the literature of his own era. His Eu- pliues gave the tone to the conversation of the court of Queen Elizabeth ; and the gallants and wits who fre- quented it formed their language upon the model of that once-famed book. " The chief characteristic of his style, besides its smoothness, is the employment of a species of fabulous or unnatural natural philosophy, in which the existence of certain animals, vegetables, and minerals v,'ith peculiar properties is presumed, in order to afford similes and illustrations."^ It was scarcely to be expected that such laborious trifling, founded on the mistakes and inventions of the fabulous writers who flou- rished in tlie Middle Ages, would be revived among the learned men of the Elizabethan court, and almost en- forced upon such as would wish to pass for polished scholars there.

Diogenes' Tub Our star philosopher Diogenes spends his days sitting in a barrel (called a tub) which usually lays on its side, and it is from this tub that Diogenes makes his appearances in the play (with the exception of Act II.i). However, the quartos offer no instructions as to when or how the tub should be placed on the stage: the question is relevant, because Diogenes does not appear at the beginning of his scenes; rather, other characters approach his tub at some point in the middle of his scenes. We do not offer to solve this riddle. Where Diogenes appears on stage, we will simply indicate in a stage-direction that the characters "approach Diogenes' tub." A director may choose to leave the barrel on-stage throughout the performance, in which case Diogenes may, as Bond suggests, climb into and out of the tub, unseen by the audience, through a trap-door; or he may carry the barrel in with him as necessary; or the barrel, containing Diogenes, may be slid on-stage immediately before his appearances.
