The church has a series of plaques on the walls and dedications on some of the windows. Some of the plaques date from the old church. As explained on a metal plaque, the old St Michael’s church was demolished in 1835 and a new, large church built on the site, this being opened in 1836. Another plaque states that in 1899 the galleries were removed. A survey of the memorial was undertaken by David Houldridge in 1980. A copy of this is at Bath Record Office is entitled St Michael with St Paul - Memorial Tablets inside the Church by David L Houldridge, 1980 (116 records).

In this document civil registrations, census entries and other information have been used to obtain the dates for the individuals mentioned on the memorials. In addition where individuals have been mentioned by a shortened form of the name, these have been expanded so that they can be more readily identified.

Rabillard, Supervisor (Department of English) Dr. Janelle Jenstad, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Michael Best, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Annalee Lepp, Outside Member (Department of Women’s Studies) Abstract The temptation to meddle with Shakespeare has proven irresistible to playwrights since the Restoration and has inspired some of the most reviled and most respected works of theatre. Nahum Tate’s tragic-comic King Lear (1681) was described as an execrable piece of dementation, but played on London stages for one hundred and fifty years. David Garrick was equally tempted to adapt King Lear in the eighteenth century, as were the burlesque playwrights of the nineteenth. In the twentieth century, the meddling continued with works like King Lear’s Wife (1913) by Gordon Bottomley and Dead Letters (1910) by Maurice Baring.

Ranging from Old English to Shakespeare to early twentieth-century work from around the world, these books offer a valuable resource for scholars in reception history, textual editing, and literary studies. The Bowdler Shakespeare ‘The Family Shakspeare: in which nothing is added to the original text, but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read in family.’ These words on the title pages of this edition gave rise to the verb ‘to bowdlerise’ - to remove or modify text which was considered vulgar or objectionable. Thomas Bowdler (1754-1825) was a man of independent means who studied medicine but, instead of practising as a doctor, devoted his time to prison reform, chess and the sanitising of Shakespeare. The first edition of the Family Shakespeare was published in 1818, and Bowdler’s work became enormously popular as the scandal-ridden Regency gave way to Victorian respectability. This volume, from the 1853 edition, contains The Tempest, Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, Much Ado about Nothing and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-00108-3 - The Bowdler Shakespeare, Volume 1 William Shakespeare Frontmatter More information Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of out-of- print titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be reprinted economically using traditional technology.

A Critical and Historical Analysis of Charles and Mary Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare and Thomas Bowdler’s The Family Shakespeare David Skinner Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Sheffield School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics December 2011 1 Abstract This thesis will discuss Charles and Mary Lamb’s 1807 Tales from Shakespeare and Thomas Bowdler’s 1818 The Family Shakespeare in a critical and historical context. Running through this thesis is the argument that these texts are cornerstones of children’s Shakespeare, though their reputations and contributions to the genre are buried beneath generations of misconceptions and sensationalism. This thesis provides a new perspective on Tales from Shakespeare and The Family Shakespeare that exposes the prejudices and misinformation surrounding them, offering an assessment of their respective adaptation methods and editorial influence over Shakespeare from the nineteenth century to the present. The first chapter introduces the thesis and identifies the scope of its research. It discusses the misconceptions surrounding the Lambs’ and Bowdler’s texts and examines the practice of reading Shakespeare in the home.

  • Key Passages in Shakespeare's Plays
    The plays of the First Folio have been intensely studied, discussed, debated and performed. Some performances remain true to the text and others are adapta - tions. In fact, some tragedies were once thought to be more enjoyable to an audience if “happy endings” were added. Thomas Bowdler is remembered for publishing The Family Shakespeare in the early 19th century.

  • From Hornbooks to Comic Books: "Shakespeare for Children"
    From Hornbooks to Comic Books: "Shakespeare for Children" Meg Pearson, University of West Georgia Abstract The Folger Shakespeare Library's current exhibition, "Golden Lads and Lasses": Shakespeare for Children, explores the many ways in which Shakespeare's stories have been adapted, modernized, and packaged for children. The array of materials in the show — Victorian story books, paperdolls, comic books, and movies — provides an inspiring illustration of Shakespeare's continuing appeal for younger audiences. "Golden Lads and Lasses": Shakespeare for Children. Exhibition dates: 21 January - 13 May, 2006. Folger Shakespeare Library, 201 East Capitol St. SE, Washington, DC 20003. The Folger's latest foray into its vast collection of Shakespeariana has resulted in a fascinating look at the many ways Shakespeare's plays and plots have been adapted for children. Arranged chronologically, the exhibition begins with the impossibly small Elizabethan hornbooks used by schoolchildren and ranges up through the past decade's rash of films renovating Shakespeare for teen audiences, including Ten Things I Hate About You (1999), a hip rethinking of Taming of the Shrew, and Romeo + Juliet (1996), the remarkably successful Baz Luhrmann film featuring Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio as the doomed lovers. Between these two extremes, the Folger presents a dizzying range of materials designed for children, mostly from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Charles and Mary Lamb's famous Tales from Shakespear (1807) may be found here in dozens of editions, most featuring dazzling, hand-colored illustrations. The nineteenth century was a ripe time for children's books, and the exhibition includes a wonderful breadth of examples, ranging from Edith Nesbit's Children's 2 Borrowers and Lenders Stories from Shakespeare (1901) to Fay Adams Britton's blends of fairy tales with Shakespeare (1896), to Skelt's Juvenile Drama adaptations of Othello (c.

  • Property of the Arden Shakespeare
    Shakespeare Arden The of Property CHAPTER 4.5 Global studies ALEXA ALICE JOUBIN The works of Shakespeare are closely associated with global studies, because imaginations of world cultures inform his plays and those plays have subsequently had afterlives on a global scale. Shakespeare’s plays often feature locations outside England, Scotland and Wales, and characters from the Mediterranean, France, Vienna, Venice, Cataian (Cathay) and elsewhere. Foreign characters play a key role even in the history plays that focus on the question of English identity, such as Katherine of Aragon in Henry VIII. Shakespeare’s plays demonstrate influences from a rich treasure trove of multilingual sources in Latin, Italian, Spanish and French. Before Shakespeare’s plays became widely performed outside England and Europe, international visitors brought a global flairShakespeare to performances in London. European visitors such as Thomas Platter witnessed the plays on stage at the Globe in 1599 and left behind diary records. While visiting London from the ‘new world’ in 1710, the King of the River Nations EtowArden Oh Koam himself became a competing spectacle with a performance of Macbeth on stage at the Queen’s Theatre. During his lifetime, Shakespeare’s plays wereThe performed in continental Europe and were subsequently taken to corners of the globe that seemed remote from the English perspective, including colonialof Indonesia in 1619. Since the late sixteenth century, Shakespeare’s plays have been translated, critiqued and performed in many parts of the world. Shakespeare’s oeuvre has also been referenced, used and abused by politicians for a wide range of purposes from cultural imperialism to cultural diplomacy.

  • The Shakespearean Minefild and the Silence of the Lambs
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 23 (NS) Spring 2004 © 2004 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm The Shakespearean Minefield and the Silence of the Lambs 1 Mark Taylor ____________________________________________________________________________________________ t is a cozy domestic scene, the brother and sister sitting together, writing for Iyoung children simplified versions of great dramatic works. They are Charles and Mary Lamb, he about thirty, at the beginning of their enterprise, and she ten years older. Mary was perfectly aware of the pure Gemütlichkeit of the moment. As she wrote to her friend Sarah Stoddart: “[Y]ou would like to see us as we often sit writing on one table (but not on one cushion sitting), like Hermia & Helena in the Midsummer’s Nights Dream. or rather like an old literary Darby and Joan”—proverbially, “an old married couple living contentedly a placid domestic life.” 2 What could be wrong with this comfortable picture? Well, the dramatic works in question are twenty of Shakespeare’s plays, and to make them suitable for children, their well-meaning redactors must remove, tone down, or conceal a profusion of offensive representations of crime, savagery, and sexuality. To render these materials acceptable for the young, the Lambs had to inspect them carefully in order to find and then exclude what is objectionable. In short, like any censor—like, for instance, Thomas Bowdler, the first edition of whose Family Shakespeare appeared in 1807, the same year as Tales from Shakespeare—the Lambs had to go looking for what was bad.3 And then, of course, there was something about Mary… who on September 22, 1796, had stabbed their mother to death.

  • Analysis on Shakespeare's Enduring Impact in the Development Of
    Analysis on Shakespeare’s Enduring Impact in the Development of English Literature Based on Readers’ Retort to His Style of Writing Natnael Solomon, Addis Ababa University Abstract Shakespeare occupies a position unique in the world of literature. Other poets, such as Homer and Dante, and novelists, such as Leo Tolstoy and Charles Dickens, have transcended national barriers; but no writer’s living reputation can compare to that of Shakespeare’s. Although his plays were made public in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for a small repertory theatre but are still performed and read more often and in many countries than ever before. The prophecy of his great contemporary, the poet and dramatist ben Jonson, that Shakespeare “was not of an age, but for all time,” It may be audacious even to attempt a definition of his greatness, but it is not so difficult to describe the gifts that enabled him to create imaginative visions of pathos and mirth that, whether read or witnessed in the theatre, fill the mind and linger there. He is a writer of great intellectual rapidity, perceptiveness, and poetic power. Other writers have had these qualities, but with Shakespeare, the keenness of mind was applied not to abstruse or remote subjects but to human beings and their complete range of emotions and conflicts. Other writers have applied their keenness of mind in this way, but Shakespeare is astonishingly clever with words and images, so that his mental energy, when applied to intelligible human situations, finds full and memorable expression, convincing and imaginatively stimulating. As if this were not enough, the art form into which his creative energies went was not remote and bookish but involved the vivid stage impersonation of human beings, commanding sympathy and inviting vicarious participation.
