The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the Plays of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas
The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the plays of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas. A submission for the degree of doctor of philosophy by Stephen David Collins. The Department of History of The University of York. June, 2016. ABSTRACT. Families transact their relationships in a number of ways. Alongside and in tension with the emotional and practical dealings of family life are factors of an essentially moral nature such as loyalty, gratitude, obedience, and altruism. Morality depends on ideas about how one should behave, so that, for example, deciding whether or not to save a brother's life by going to bed with his judge involves an ethical accountancy drawing on ideas of right and wrong. It is such ideas that are the focus of this study. It seeks to recover some of ethical assumptions which were in circulation in early modern England and which inform the plays of the period. A number of plays which dramatise family relationships are analysed from the imagined perspectives of original audiences whose intellectual and moral worlds are explored through specific dramatic situations. Plays are discussed as far as possible in terms of their language and plots, rather than of character, and the study is eclectic in its use of sources, though drawing largely on the extensive didactic and polemical writing on the family surviving from the period. Three aspects of family relationships are discussed: first, the shifting one between parents and children, second, that between siblings, and, third, one version of marriage, that of the remarriage of the bereaved. -

The glamorous, mysterious figure he remembered from his childhood was very different from the morally ambiguous young woman who emerged from the trove of love letters, journals and photographs, surrounded by suitors and living the precarious existence of a British citizen in a country controlled by the enemy during World War II.

Dragonnews News and Events for Dragon Parents
WEEK OF 11.9.2020 DragonNEWS News and Events for Dragon Parents Welcome back Dragons! 1 Dear Parents elcome to the new academic year, and an especially warm Wwelcome to those parents who are new to the Dragon community. We are absolutely delighted to have the children back in school, and it is excellent to see the boys and girls so engaged in their work, enthusiastic in their play and really enjoying each other’s company. The term has got off to an impressive start and the children are settling well into their routines, whilst mastering the one-way systems, separate play areas, and new dining arrangements. We are very proud of how our young Dragons have adapted to all the measures that have necessarily been put in place to ensure a safe environment for us all at this time. We very much appreciate the support of parents during this challenging time and I should like to draw your attention to the separate notices regarding social distancing and winter illnesses/COVID 19. Last Saturday saw the launch of our long-awaited Dragon QUEST programme, and the inaugural Saturday morning was a resounding success. Around 88% of our young D and E Block Dragons participated on the first day. It was wonderful to see all the children enjoying a wide range of activities including visiting a working farm, paddle-boarding on the River Cherwell, a cultural tour of Oxford, bike mechanics, polo, 3D printing, film-making, and design and technology. Congratulations to our QUEST Director, Tim Knapp, who has worked tirelessly towards this launch, and I should also like to thank all the teachers who are involved in this varied programme. -

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb. -
