  • WILLIAM Shakespeare
    WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE _____ A L’ANGLETERRE Je lui dédie ce livre, glorification de son poëte. Je dis à l’Angleterre la vérité; mais, comme terre illustre et libre, je l’admire, et comme asile, je l’aime. VICTOR HUGO. Hauteville-House, 1864. Le vrai titre de cet ouvrage serait : A propos de Shakespeare. Le désir d’introduire, comme on dit en Angleterre, devant le public, la nouvelle traduction de Shakespeare, a été le premier mobile de l’auteur. Le sentiment qui l’intéresse si profondément au traducteur ne saurait lui ôter le droit de recommander la traduction. Cependant sa conscience a été sollicitée d’autre part, et d’une façon plus étroite encore, par le sujet lui-même. A l’occasion de Shakespeare, toutes les questions qui touchent à l’art se sont présentées à son esprit. Traiter ces questions, c’est expliquer la mission de l’art; traiter ces questions, c’est expliquer le devoir de la pensée humaine envers l’homme. Une telle occasion de dire des vérités s’impose, et il n’est pas permis, surtout à une époque comme la nôtre, de l’éluder. L’auteur l’a compris. Il n’a point hésité à aborder ces questions complexes de l’art et de la civilisation sous leurs faces diverses, multipliant les horizons toutes les fois que la perspective se déplaçait, et acceptant toutes les indications que le sujet, dans sa nécessité rigoureuse, lui offrait. De cet agrandissement du point de vue est né ce livre. Hauteville-House, 1864. PREMIÈRE PARTIE LIVRE I SHAKESPEARE — SA VIE I Il y a une douzaine d’années, dans une île voisine des côtes de France, une maison, d’aspect mélancolique en toute saison, devenait particulièrement sombre à cause de l’hiver qui commençait.

  • The History of Playing Cards
    tv THE HISTORY PLAYING CARDS, WITH guttcimits of ijjtir xtst in CONJURING, FORTUNE-TELLING, AND CARD-SHARPING. Ike. hlsiov. EDITED BT THE LATE Rev. Ed. S. TAYLOR, B.A. AND OTHERS. LONDON : JOHN CAMDEN HOTTEN, PICCADILLY. 1865. n/^ /•" TWO CARICATURE CARDS FROM A PACK FORMERLY BELONGING TO THE LATE COUNT d'oRS AY. PREFACE. Five years ago I pin-chased from an eminent French publisher some tasteful wood-engravings, illustrative of the History of Playing Cards. These, with the small work in which they originally appeared, were placed in the hands of the late Rev. Ed. S. Taylor, of Onnesby St. Margaret, Great Yarmouth, as mate rial for a History of Playing Cards, English and Foreign, which he had offered to undertake for me. The readers of Notes and Queries will remember this gen tleman as the valued contributor of many curious articles to that useful periodical. His knowledge was wide and varied, although his tastes were of that peculiar kind which delights in the careful exploration of the bye-ways, rather than the high roads, of learning. The first part of the work was soon in the printers' hands, but ill-health followed, and the book proceeded slowly up to the time of the Editor's decease, two years ago. It was deemed necessary to mention this fact, as some of the references are to matters long since passed, although they are stated as of the present day. IV PREFACE. To tlie French Illustrations have been added several facsimiles of old cards from the Print-room in the British Museum, and other sources.

  • 1 Theatre and the Card-Playing Scene in Thomas Heywood's a Woman
    Theatre and the Card-Playing Scene in Thomas Heywood’s A Woman Killed With Kindness Louise Fang Université de Paris Sorbonne [email protected] At the beginning of the seventeenth century, card-playing scenes had already been established as a long-standing topos of the visual arts. Ever since the late Middle Ages painters and engravers had chosen this particular motif to represent an ideal of sociability, scenes of seduction, or one of the many objects symbolizing the vanity of human life, as we can see from representations of the Bonfire of the Vanities. Fig.1 Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet, The Cardplayers, 1485, Fig.2 Anon., Saint John Capistrano Exhorts his print, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Adherents to Burn Cards and Gaming Boards in the Cathedral Square of Bamburg, 1470-74, oil on panel, Historisches Museum, Bamberg. 1 These gaming scenes allowed painters to explore many different aspects of their art such as the use of light in Caravaggesque paintings for instance, or the art of portraiture. They foregrounded the quality of the medium on which they represented. At the same time, scenes depicting parlour or tavern games were developing into ‘a noteworthy dramatic convention’ on the English early modern stage according to Joseph T. McCullen who has listed all the gaming scenes found in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama.1 Perhaps unsurprisingly, such scenes denoting the daily life of early modern domesticity can be found in domestic tragedies. Thomas Heywood’s A Woman Killed with Kindness is one of the most compelling examples of this emerging dramatic topos as the playwright chose to represent almost an entire card game to stage Frankford’s sudden realisation of his wife’s adultery.
