  • The Death of Captain Cook in Theatre 224
    The Many Deaths of Captain Cook A Study in Metropolitan Mass Culture, 1780-1810 Ruth Scobie PhD University of York Department of English April 2013 i Ruth Scobie The Many Deaths of Captain Cook Abstract This thesis traces metropolitan representations, between 1780 and 1810, of the violent death of Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to these representations, in order to show how the interlinked texts of a nascent commercial culture initiated the creation of a colonial character, identified by Epeli Hau’ofa as the looming “ghost of Captain Cook.” The introduction sets out the circumstances of Cook’s death and existing metropolitan reputation in 1779. It situates the figure of Cook within contemporary mechanisms of ‘celebrity,’ related to notions of mass metropolitan culture. It argues that previous accounts of Cook’s fame have tended to overemphasise the immediacy and unanimity with which the dead Cook was adopted as an imperialist hero; with the result that the role of the scene within colonialist histories can appear inevitable, even natural. In response, I show that a contested mythology around Cook’s death was gradually constructed over the three decades after the incident took place, and was the contingent product of a range of texts, places, events, and individuals. The first section examines responses to the news of Cook’s death in January 1780, focusing on the way that the story was mediated by, first, its status as ‘news,’ created by newspapers; and second, the effects on Londoners of the Gordon riots in June of the same year.

Philosophical aesthetics flourishes in the period because of its strong affinities with the tendencies of the age. ‘Aesthetics’ is derived from the Greek word for ‘senses’, because . a science of the beautiful would be a science of the sensible, a science of sensible cognition. The Enlightenment also enthusiastically embraces the discovery and disclosure of rational order in nature . It seems to many theorists in the Enlightenment that the faculty of taste, the faculty by which we discern beauty, reveals to us some part of this order, a distinctive harmony, unities amidst variety. Thus, in the phenomenon of aesthetic pleasure, human sensibility discloses to us rational order, thus binding together two enthusiasms of the Enlightenment.” (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/enlightenment/#BeaAesEnl) p. 167 London coffee houses: https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/English-Coffeehouses-Penny-Universities/ p. 198 Literary salons: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Bluestocking-British-literary-society Writers Orlando glimpses and/or encounters: John Dryden (d. 1700)—poet (first poet laureate of England), literary critic, translator, playwright, who dominated the literary world of the Restoration.

  • Stoic Enlightenments
    Copyright © 2011 Margaret Felice Wald All rights reserved STOIC ENLIGHTENMENTS By MARGARET FELICE WALD A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in English written under the direction of Michael McKeon and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Stoic Enlightenments By MARGARET FELICE WALD Dissertation Director: Michael McKeon Stoic ideals infused seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thought, not only in the figure of the ascetic sage who grins and bears all, but also in a myriad of other constructions, shaping the way the period imagined ethical, political, linguistic, epistemological, and social reform. My dissertation examines the literary manifestation of Stoicism’s legacy, in particular regarding the institution and danger of autonomy, the foundation and limitation of virtue, the nature of the passions, the difference between good and evil, and the referentiality of language. Alongside the standard satirical responses to the ancient creed’s rigor and rationalism, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century poetry, drama, and prose developed Stoic formulations that made the most demanding of philosophical ideals tenable within the framework of common experience. Instead of serving as hallmarks for hypocrisy, the literary stoics I investigate uphold a brand of stoicism fit for the post-regicidal, post- Protestant Reformation, post-scientific revolutionary world. My project reveals how writers used Stoicism to determine the viability of philosophical precept and establish ways of compensating for human fallibility. The ambivalent status of the Stoic sage, staged and restaged in countless texts, exemplified the period’s anxiety about measuring up to its ideals, its efforts to discover the plenitude of ii natural laws and to live by them.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.24197/ersjes.40.2019.11-31 Abstract: In 1786 an anonymous correspondent appealed to Samuel Johnson’s biographer James Boswell in the pages of the Gentleman’s Magazine. Behind the pseudonym Benvolio was Anna Seward (1742‒1809), one of the prominent poetical voices of Britain at the time. From 1786‒87 and 1793‒94, Seward and Boswell engaged in a public and gradually acrimonious dispute over Johnson’s reputation. This article argues that at the core of the debates was Seward’s assertion of her literary and critical authority, and I contend that age and gender played key roles in Boswell’s dismissal of Seward’s claim. Keywords: Anna Seward; Age Studies; James Boswell; Samuel Johnson; Gentleman’s Magazine. Summary: Introduction. The First Benvolio Debate, 1786‒87. The Second Benvolio Debate, 1793‒94.

  • John Boswell: Posting Historical Landmarks at the Leading Edge of the Culture Wars
    John Boswell: Posting Historical Landmarks at the Leading Edge of the Culture Wars JEFFREY CISNEROS UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT S AN ANTONIO INTRODUCTION ne of the most enduring and controversial figures in the field of history is OJohn E. Boswell. His work on homosexuality and the history of the Christian Church was published at a key time during the Stonewall Riots in the late 1960s and the removal of homosexuality from the list of diagnostic mental disorders in the mid 1970s. This social upheaval created a dynamic that not only influenced Boswell personally but contributed to the vehement reac- tion to his book Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century. Written in 1980, this book has profoundly influenced the- ological debates in numerous Christian denominations, particularly in the United States. Boswell earned his PhD at Harvard in 1975 and was immediately hired in a tenure-track position at Yale University (curriculum vitae, Boswell Papers). His first book was based on his doctoral dissertation, The Royal Treasure: Muslim Communities Under the Crown of Aragon in the Fourteenth Century, which displayed his gifts as a medieval philologist working in Catalan, Aragonese, Castilian, French, and Latin with equal facility. The book investi- gated mudejeres (later called moriscos), Muslims living under Christian pro- tection prior to 1492 who did not convert to Christianity. The book received favorable reviews, and Boswell developed a reputation as an Iberian scholar with a talent for languages and an interest in the religions of medieval Western Europe.
