Wheler dili gently occupied himself in the completion of one of the most remarkable local antiquarian collections ever formed by a single individual . The following - pages , being merely a brief hand list of these treasures , convey a very inadequate idea of their importance and value ; but as the construction of a more elaborate calendar would have required a con si d e r a ble time , it was thought that a sketch of the contents of the collection would be an acceptable 0 ering to the public , especially to the inhabitants of Stratford , who will not fail to appreciate the generosity of Miss Wheler in presenting the Town with so important a gift , and the judgment which dictated the place of its locality . It wou ld not only have been sad , and an injury to the local topographical literature , had these collections , formed by so much labour and anxiety , ever been dispersed ; but they would have lost much of their interest and value had they been allowed to depart from Stratford . The late Robert Bell Wheler was born at Strat l st 1 785 w ford on January , , in the house in Old To n in which he continued to reside during his life , and 8 PRESENTED BY Hi s 1 5t h 1 85 7 72 . where he died on July , , aged father , Mr . Robert Wheler , his predecessor in his f . profession of a solicitor , entered the o fice of Mr dl - Bra ey , the Town Clerk , and a solicitor of large 1 5 di 7 7 . practice , in January , He ed in August , 1 8 1 9 77 . , aged His son , the object of this notice , was articled to him , but , unlike most articled clerks , he served no part of his time in London , merely going there for abou t a month at the time of his f f admission . His a ection for Stratford , and love for Sh a ke s e r i a n p pursuits , were so intense that he never seemed to be happy out of his native town ; so that , in the whole course of his long life , he spent very little p ortion of his time indeed out of Stratford . In early life he was a member of the Stratford volunteer corps , and he afterwards became a commissioned - 0 1 06 1 8 ; l 3 lieutenant and quarte master , in the third regiment of the Warwickshire local militia stationed at Stratford , m which capacity he was much esteemed 0 i by his brother cers and by Colonel Sheldon , then in command of the regiment . ’ Wh e le r . s Mr first work , and that by which he is chiefly known , is the admirably compiled History ” - - and Antiquities of Stratford upon Avon , published 1 0 in 8 6 . His next separate production was a ” - - 1 8 14 Guide to Stratford upon Avon , , one which w is well termed by a distinguished riter , a very ” superior book to many which bear a similar title , H n t e r on h a ke s e r e 1 0 u S a . 7 . p , i This was followed , 1 824 ll in , by his exce ent sketch of the history of ’ - Shakespeare s Birth place . Besides these works he was the writer of several ar ticles of interest in the ’ Gentleman s Magazine , and other periodicals . His published works , however , form but a small 9 MISS WHELE R. part of the results of his labours , the extent of which will only be duly estimated by the careful examiner of the present collection . Upon his autograph manuscripts in this collection will henceforth rest his principal title to literary distinction , and in securing them for ever to Stratford , his surviving sister , Miss Anne Wheler , has paid the best possible tribute to his memory , and realized his own most probable aspirations . 1 4 .

  • FIRST and FINAL THINGS Shakespeare's Sonnet 145, and His
    Lingue e Linguaggi Lingue Linguaggi 19 (2016), 221-233 ISSN 2239-0367, e-ISSN 2239-0359 DOI 10.1285/i22390359v19p221 http://siba-ese.unisalento.it, © 2016 Università del Salento FIRST AND FINAL THINGS Shakespeare’s Sonnet 145, and his Epitaph DAVID LUCKING UNIVERSITÀ DEL SALENTO Abstract – This paper examines certain aspects of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 145, and of the epitaph inscribed on his grave in Stratford-upon-Avon, arguably the first and the last poems composed by the dramatist. Although the grave is often described as being anonymous, it is suggested that Shakespeare does name himself obliquely in his epitaph, and that there are significant analogies between the manner in which he does so and the way in which he indirectly names his wife Anne Hathaway in a sonnet that may record an episode, whether real or imagined, in the history of their courtship. Keywords: Shakespeare; Sonnets; Epitaph. What some critics believe to be Shakespeare’s earliest poem, and what some believe to be his final poem, have certain features in common which, together with the fact that they effectively bracket the poet’s career as a writer, hint at the possibility that they might profitably be examined in the light of one another. The first of these works is Sonnet 145, which may date back to 1582, the year of the dalliance between Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway that led to consequences which, changing the course of Shakespeare’s life decisively and irrevocably, doubtless played a far from negligible role in the eventual emergence of the dramatist we know. Andrew Gurr describes this sonnet as “Shakespeare’s first poem” (Gurr 1971, pp.

BUCKLAND. “ In winter’s tedious nights, sit by the fire With good old folks, and let them tell thee tales.’ —King Richard II (illorrester: Phillips & Probert, Ltd., The Caxton Press. CHAPTER IX. Dr. John Hall. “ Let’s talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs ; Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.

C. C. Stopes’ “ Shakespeare’s Contemporaries,” writes :— Dr. Hall married Shakespeare’s daughter, Sus¬ annah, on June. 5th, 1607, he being thirty-two, and she twenty-five ; their only daughter, Elizabeth, was baptized at Stratford-on-Avon, February 21st, 1608. He must have remained on friendly terms with his father-in-law, because he and his wife were left residuary legatees, and the executors of Shakes¬ peare’s Will ; and they proved the Will in London, in the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Registry, June, 1616. The Doctor shortly afterwards removed to New Place, and in 1617, and also in 1623, he was elected Burgess (or bailiff) of Stratford-on-Avon, but was excused from that office on account of his pro¬ fessional engagements.

  • Love's Labour's Won the Secret Life of William
    Chapter I Returning Home large black coach slowly rolled its way along the rutted A tree-lined road in the English Midlands in June of 1662. It was pulled by a team of four sleek and powerful horses with jet black coats of hair that shimmered as they were struck by rays of sunlight streaking through the canopy above. Tom skillfully used the reins to manage his team. His friend Jack rode shotgun. They were bringing Lady Elizabeth Barnard back to Stratford- upon-Avon to visit the remaining members of her family and pay her respects at the grave of her recently deceased Aunt Judith. Sir John Barnard, Lady Elizabeth’s second husband, was occupied with urgent parliamentary business preventing him from making this journey. Sir John entrusted Tom and Jack with the care and protection of his esteemed wife. Wrapped in a tarpaulin, among numerous pieces of luggage secured to the roof, was an elegant hardwood chair. The chair back contained separate engravings of a shield, and a falcon holding an upright spear. They comprised portions of the hard-won coat of arms of Lady Elizabeth’s grandfather, Stratford poet and playwright, William Shakespeare. A generation ago, Shakespeare’s fame was far greater than it was now. He and his fellow playwrights Christopher Marlowe, Ben Johnson, Francis Beaumont, and John Fletcher were the leading cultural lights of their age. For theater was by far the most popular form of public entertainment during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James. Among his contemporaries, Shakespeare’s fame was greatly enhanced by his astonishing versatility.
