At this point the 12-year-old John Heywood may have been a chorister. LIFE IS LIVED FORWARD BUT UNDERSTOOD BACKWARD? — NO, THAT’S GIVING TOO MUCH TO THE HISTORIAN’S STORIES.

INDEX JOHN HEYWOOD JOHN HEYWOOD 1515 The first certain record we have of “Iohn Haywoode” is that in this year he was one of King Henry VIII’s singing men at a wage of eightpence per day. Presumably he had been a choir boy and had then been retained as a singer at the Chapel Royal. Possibly also he was active in the training of companies of boy actors, for court performances. Archbishop of York Thomas Wolsey became a Catholic Cardinal, and Lord Chancellor of England. His monarch made him a royal present, of Hampton Court: CHANGE IS ETERNITY, STASIS A FIGMENT John Heywood “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN HEYWOOD JOHN HEYWOOD 1519 After having spent a year or two at Broadgates Hall (now Pembroke College, Oxford), John Heywood was receiving 100 shillings each quarter-year for being a “synger” at the court of King Henry VIII.

INDEX JOHN HEYWOOD JOHN HEYWOOD 1521 February 12, Tuesday (1520, Old Style): John Heywood was designated to receive an annuity of ten marks as a king’s servant of King Henry VIII, in the form of annual rents from properties in Essex that had reverted to the Crown. THE FUTURE CAN BE EASILY PREDICTED IN RETROSPECT “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project John Heywood HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN HEYWOOD JOHN HEYWOOD 1523 March 3, Tuesday (1522, Old Style): With some assistance from King Henry VIII, John Heywood was admitted as a Freeman of the City of London. He became a member of the Mercers’ Company (we have no indication, however, that he ever worked with cloth). Records of London Freemans indicate that Heywood was already married with Joan Rastell, daughter of John Rastell the printer. Through this marriage Heywood would have entered into a theater family. Rastell was a composer of interludes himself, and the very first publisher of plays in England. HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN HEYWOOD JOHN HEYWOOD 1524 Turkeys were gobbled for the first time at the English Court. James V became King of Scotland (-1542). John Rastell built his own house at Finsbury Fields, with a stage explicitly for the performance of plays. His wife made costumes. The whole family appeared to be involved in these productions, including Thomas More. In this private theatre, John Heywood would have found an audience for his early works, and a strong artistic influence in his father-in-law John Rastell. HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN HEYWOOD JOHN HEYWOOD 1525 In the 1520s and 1530s, John Heywood was writing and producing interludes for the royal court. He enjoyed the patronage of Edward VI and Mary I. While some of his plays call for music, no songs or texts survive. In this year, with Will Somer as King Henry VIII’s fool at court, Heywood wrote “Witty and Witless.” At Michaelmas a court payment of £6 13s 4d was made to him as “player of the Virginals.”1 1. This virginal was a small harpsichord popular during the 16th and 17th centuries. Its strings ran from side to side of its rectangular box, and were plucked by means of little quill or leather plectrums (rather than being struck by felt hammers). On the continent the instrument was being referred to as a “Clavicimbalum.” Princess Mary was a player of the instrument, and at the age of 4½, in July 1520, before a visiting French delegation, had given a public performance.

DATE: John Heywood’s “A Dialogue on Wit and Folly.” DIALOGUE ON WIT AND FOLLY HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN HEYWOOD JOHN HEYWOOD 1530 By this point John Heywood had translated “La farce du pasté” from French into English as “Johan Johan.” In about this year his “The Play called the foure PP; a newe and a very mery interlude of a palmer, a pardoner, a potycary, a pedler” was being performed at court. Birth of Heywood’s son Ellis Heywood. January 20, Thursday (1529, Old Style): John Heywood, as a citizen and Stationer of London and one of the king’s servants, was presented as the “Comen Mesurer or meter of Lynnen Clothes” of the Mercers’ Company (though he never appears to have worked in any way with cloth).

W. Rastell printed “The Play called the foure PP; a newe and a very mery interlude of a palmer, a pardoner, a potycary, a pedler.” On New Year’s Day, Heywood received a “gilte cuppe with a cover weing xxiii oz” from King Henry VIII. During this year the monarch, who had fallen out of favor with Pope Clement VII due to his setting aside of Queen Consort Catherine of Aragón who had failed to provide him with a male heir and marriage to Anne Boleyn who was pregnant with his child (that would be another girl, Elizabeth), and had consequently declared himself to be the head of the Church of England and the Church of Ireland, declared that the princess Mary Stuart, as a product of Catherine of Aragón, was illegitimate and not in the royal succession, and would in the future be addressed by the court as “The Lady Mary” rather than as “Princess.” February 5, Wednesday (Old Style): The Ambassador of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V recorded the departure of the previous French Ambassador and the arrival of Dinteville.

The monarch was given till September to return to Queen Consort Catherine of Aragón under threat of excommunication. Henry would respond by renouncing the Papal supremacy, and Thomas Cranmer, his Archbishop of Canterbury, would cooperatively declare the old marriage of Henry and Catherine to have been void and the new marriage of Henry and Anne to be real and lawful.

The play Jdramatizes the fall and recovery of the allegorical prince Magnyfycence, who is persuaded by a string of disguised vices to abandon his advisor, Measure; loses Welthfull Felicite and Lyberte; is driven to the point of suicide by Dyspare; and is rescued by Good Hope and re-established in prosper- ity by Redresse, Sad Cyrcumspeccyon and Perseveraunce. The political satire of Magnyfycence has been extensively discussed: Wolsey appears to be the target of much veiled attack, and, as Greg Walker has demonstrated, there are numerous allusions to Henry’s minions who were expelled from court for exerting corrupt influence over the king.1 The play appears to offer advice to princes—it is perhaps a warning to the young King Henry VIII from the man, Skelton, who had been his tutor.2 The play is also of con- siderable interest to any narrative of the development of English theatre: it combines the allegory and fall-and-rise 1 See Greg Walker, Plays of Persuasion, pp.

  • From Sidney to Heywood: the Social Status of Commercial Theatre in Early Modern London
    From Sidney to Heywood: the social status of commercial theatre in early modern London Romola Nuttall (King’s College London, UK) The Literary London Journal, Volume 14 Number 1 (Spring 2017) Abstract Thomas Heywood’s Apology for Actors (written c. 1608, published 1612) is one of the only stand-alone, printed deFences of the proFessional theatre to emerge from the early modern period. Even more significantly, it is ‘the only contemporary complete text we have – by an early modern actor about early modern actors’ (Griffith 191). This is rather surprising considering how famous playwrights and drama of that period have become, but it is revealing of attitudes towards the profession and the stage at the turn of the sixteenth century. Religious concerns Formed a central part of the heated public debate which contested the social value oF proFessional drama during the early modern era. Claims against the literary status of work produced for the commercial stage were also frequently levelled against the theatre from within the establishment, a prominent example being Sir Philip Sidney’s Defence of Poesie (written c. 1579, published 1595). Considering Heywood’s Apology in relation to Sidney’s Defence, and thinking particularly about the ways these treatises appropriate the classical idea oF mimesis and the consequent social value of literature, gives fresh insight into the changing status of drama in Shakespeare’s lifetime and how attitudes towards commercial theatre developed between the 1570s and 1610s. The following article explores these ideas within the framework of the London in which Heywood and his acting company lived and worked.

NEIL CARSON UNIVERSITY OF LONDON WESTFIELD COLLEGE I)IN 1 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an attempt to describe the characteristics of Thomas Heywood's dramatic style. The study is divided into three parts. The first deals with the playwright's theatrical career and discusses how his practical experience as actor and sharer might have affected his technique as a dramatic writer. The second part defines the scope of the investigation and contains the bulk of the analysis of Heywood's plays. My approach to the mechanics of playwriting is both practical and theoretical. I have attempted to come to an understanding of the technicalities of Heywood's craftsmanship by studying the changes he made in Sir Thomas Moore and in the sources he used for his plays. At the same time, I have tried to comprehend the aesthetic framework within which he worked by referring to the critical ideas of the period and especially to opinions expressed by Heywood him- self in An Apology for Actors and elsewhere.

    Copyright 2011 Tara Lynn Lyons ENGLISH PRINTED DRAMA IN COLLECTION BEFORE JONSON AND SHAKESPEARE BY TARA LYNN LYONS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Emerita Professor Carol T. Neely, Chair Associate Professor Zachary L. Lesser, University of Pennsylvania Associate Professor Lori Humphrey Newcomb Professor Curtis Perry Abstract Benjamin Jonson’s Works (1616) and William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies (1623) overwhelmingly dominate studies of the English drama collection. This critical focus has revealed much of what we know about the collection as a format for dramatic texts in early modern England, but it has also concealed aspects of the format’s history. Scholars regularly assume that the Jonson and Shakespeare Folios were the first in England to gather dramatic texts in collections; others often treat the volumes as paradigms for how drama collections looked, functioned, and signified. By examining collections printed or compiled from approximately 1512 to 1623, “English Printed Drama in Collection Before Jonson and Shakespeare” offers a new conceptualization of the collection. This dissertation discovers that drama appeared in multiple collected formats other than large folio volumes and was organized around a diversity of principles of collection other than (and in addition to) “the author.” For example, drama was presented in ten-play quarto editions supporting humanist pedagogical agendas, reader-compiled octavo miscellanies created for political persuasion, and serially published sets celebrating the English church and crown. This diversity of collected forms was constructed through different material processes to support the financial and/or ideological aims of various agents, including printers, publishers, booksellers, editors, and readers.
