  • APTG Guidelines (September 2018)
    UNITE THE UNION FOR YOU GUIDELINESGUIDELINES APTG MEMBERS HAVE THEIR SAY WEBSITE LEADS SURVEY Many thanks to all those members who responded to our recent Website Leads Survey covering leads received during 2017. In total, Seventy two members completed the survey, which is about 13-14% of the membership, a figure we hope will grow in future surveys. Less than 2% said they had never had a lead from the website, whilst the majority received between one and fifty Leads. 18% had received more than fifty leads, which is pretty impressive. Not surprisingly, the majority of leads are for English-speaking guides, but we hope to increase the range of languages requested as we work to improve the website. The vast majority of enquiries are coming from individual customers and not tour operators, clearly an opportunity for us to increase the latter’s awareness of the site. Just under 80% of those who got leads converted at least one to a paid job, whilst some Guides managed to convert over twenty into jobs. For the majority of those who responded (78%), the site generates an income up to £2,000, about a fifth are earning between £2,000 and £5,000 and some guides are securing tours worth over £5,000 a year from the website. About 30% of those who confirmed tours recruited other guides to help deliver the tour, mostly just a handful, but on two occasions eight and ten guides respectively, which is a pretty good knock-on benefit of the site. Added to which, just over a quarter of guides had repeat business from clients through the John Donald out of uniform website, and some now have regular contracts.

BURNS LONDON — Nearly 400 years after his death, William Shakespeare appeared in a new and more handsome guise on Monday, thanks to a recently discovered portrait that a group of Shakespeare scholars and art historians said was the only known likeness to have been painted in his lifetime. Stanley Wells, the chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, based in Shakespeare’s birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, described the portrait at a news conference as a “pinup.” It shows the Bard as a far more alluring figure than the solemn-faced, balding image that has been conveyed by engravings, busts and portraits that have been accepted by scholars as the best available likeness of English literature’s most famous figure. Until now, scholars have deemed the most authentic representations of Shakespeare to be a black-and-white woodcut engraving by the Flemish artist Martin Droeshout that appeared in the first folio edition of Shakespeare’s works in 1623, and a marble bust displayed since the 1620s in a Stratford church. In their place, the scholars in London showed reporters a portrait taken from the private collection of an aristocratic Anglo-Irish family, the Cobbes, who have owned it for nearly 300 years, since inheriting it through a family relationship with Shakespeare’s only known literary patron, Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton.

  • Review of Literary Records
    Shakespearean Biografiction: How modern biographers rely on context, conjecture and inference to construct a life of the Bard A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Arts and Humanities Brunel University By Kevin Gilvary November 2014 ii Candidate Kevin Gilvary (1955- ) B.A. (Hons), Classics, Southampton, 1976 M.A., Classics, Southampton, 1978 M.A. (Ed), Language in Education, Southampton 1996 P.G.C.E., Institute of Education, London, 1980 Doctoral Study 2007-2014 (part-time), Brunel University Supervisor 1 Professor William Leahy, School of Arts, Brunel University Supervisor 2 Dr. Sean Gaston, School of Arts, Brunel University Examiner 1 Professor Tom Betteridge, School of Arts, Brunel University Examiner 2 Professor Tom Healey, University of Sussex iii Abstract Modern biographies of William Shakespeare abound: new studies appear almost every year, each claiming new research and new insights, while affirming that there are enough records for a documentary life. In this thesis, I argue that no biography of Shakespeare is possible due to insufficient material, that most of what is written about Shakespeare cannot be verified from primary sources, and that Shakespearean biography did not attain scholarly or academic respectability until Samuel Schoenbaum’s Documentary Life (1975). The thesis therefore is concerned with demythologising Shakespeare by exposing numerous “biogra-fictions.” I begin by reviewing the history and practice of biography as a narrative account of a person’s life based on primary sources. Next I assess the very limited biographical material for Shakespeare identifying the gaps, e.g. there is no record that he spent any of his childhood in Stratford or ever attended school.
