Facing page vii. <rw ICONOGRAPHY. The Drummond portraits seem to us to fall naturally into three distinct groups : Group A. I. Unsigned oval-shaped engraving (reproduced for the first time in plate I, Frontispiece to Vol. II.), measuring 3r x 3} inches ; half length to right, in lace-edged collarette and sash. This portrait, roughly executed, probably by a local artist, has so far remained unnoticed, and is of the greatest importance in determining the genuineness and the relationship of the various portraits said to represent the poet William Drummond. It occurs for the first time in the Bodleian advance issue of the Poems (? 1614), mounted on a blank leaf, between the title-page and the commencement of the Poems. It is also contained in the Bodleian copy of the regular edition of the Poems (1616), mounted on the back of the title-page of Madrigalls and Epigrammes ; and likewise in the Edinburgh University copy of the Poems (1616), mounted on a blank leaf facing p. 96. In the Aberdeen University copy of the Poems (1616), the blank leaf in the same place is extant, but the engraving itself has disappeared. All these copies of the Poems are original editions, bound in a contemporary binding, and in all three cases the blank leaf on which is mounted the portrait forms part of a sheet sewn in with the rest of the sheets when the volume was made up by the binder. Thus vii Vlll ICONOGRAPHY. there can be no doubt that this portrait was inserted by Drummond’s authority, and that we are in presence of an undoubtedly genuine picture of the poet, however unskilled the artist may have been. If, as we may reasonably suppose, the engraving was executed expressly for the advance issue of the Poems, which appeared in 1614 or 1615, it represents Drummond at the age of twenty-nine or thirty. We should say that it was probably copied from a picture. II. Signed panel-portrait (reproduced for the first time in plate 2, facing p. vii); three-quarter length to left, in stiff collar, cloak and sash. This portrait is now hung in the dining-room at Hawthornden. It was acquired, some twenty years ago, at an auction sale in Edinburgh. In an estimate, dated 1892, from a Mr. Halkerston, a picture-restorer of Edinburgh, mention is made of a panel-picture at Hawthornden. This would tend to show that the picture in question was restored at that date. It certainly bears traces of having been touched up at least once. Not- withstanding, it undeniably bears a close resemblance to No. I., and in its original state was perhaps the model of the latter. III. Signed oval-shaped etching, with arms of Drummond (reproduced in plate 3, facing p. viii), measuring 6x4! inches; half length to right, in lace-edged collarette, cloak and sash, by Richard Gaywood {c. 1630-c. 1711), a pupil and imitator of Wenceslaus Hollar. This engraving figures as frontispiece to the first edition (165!) of Drummond’s History of Scotland. A copy of this (measuring 3i x 2§ inches), reversed, appears as frontispiece to Phillips’s edition of the Poems (1656), and, in a modified form, in the 1681, 1682, and 1683 editions of the History of Scotland. Another copy of Gaywood’s first attempt, also facing right, but very coarsely executed, constitutes the frontispiece of the folio edition (Edinburgh, 1711) of Drummond’s Works. Plate 3—Portrait after the Engraving Gaywood. Facing page viii. ICONOGRAPHY. IX However unsatisfactory the execution of Gaywood’s engraving may appear—we confess that it leaves a great deal to be desired—there is no reason to doubt its genuine- ness. The History of Scotland and the Poems of 1656 were both published with the approval and concurrence of Sir John Scott of Scotstarvet,1 Drummond’s brother- in-law, who was a man of literary tastes, and with whom Drummond was on terms of the most intimate friendship. It is not likely, under the circumstances, that Scott of Scotstarvet would have allowed the London publisher, who, it may be recalled, dedicated the Poems of 1656 to Sir John, to insert a portrait of Drummond which had no claim to authenticity. The same argument holds good of the editors of the folio edition of the Works ; they give us clearly to understand in the preface that they were in close touch with Sir William, the poet’s son. Moreover, the Gaywood engraving bears a close resem- blance to Nos. I. and II., except in one unimportant particular—the length and shape of the moustache. In our opinion Nos. I., II., and III. undoubtedly belong to the same group, and confirm one another’s genuineness. Probably No. III. was copied from No. I., or possibly from No. II., and perhaps No. II., in its original state, served as the model for No. I. The Gaywood engraving is also reproduced in : (a) David Masson, Drummond of Hawthornden. London, 1873—as frontispiece, in embellished form by C. H. Jeens. {b) W. M. C. Ward, The Poems of William Drummond of Hawthornden. London and New York, 1894—as frontispiece to the first volume. (c) R. Garnett and E. Gosse, History of English Literature. London, 1903, vol. ii. p. 296—a poor reproduction. {d) Chambers, Cyclopcedia of English Literature (new edition). London and Edinburgh, 1903, vol. i. p. 510—from the engraving prefixed to the Works, but embellished. 1 See our Bibliography, vol. i. p. Ixxxiv. X ICONOGRAPHY. IV. Miniature, formerly at Hawthornden, but now appar- ently lost (reproduced, according to the copy in Effigies Poeticce, in plate 4, facing p. x). Though this miniature cannot be said to bear any close resemblance to those already described, we are not indisposed to believe that it may represent Drummond, at a more advanced age, however, than the three fore- going. In it several of the characteristic features of Nos. I., II., and III. are traceable—the hair advancing to a point over the high forehead and receding on both sides, leaving the temples quite free, the large superciliary arches, the eyes deep-set, the cheek-bones projecting slightly, etc. The collar, too, is of the same type. Reproduced in : {a) [B. W. Proctor], Effigies Poeticce: or the Portraits of the British Poets. London, 1824, vol. i. plate 39. It is there said to be in the possession of Captain Drummond. {b) The Maitland Club edition of Drummond’s Poems. Edinburgh, 1832—as frontispiece, with the addition at the foot of Drummond’s autograph. It is important to lay stress on the fact that the autograph of Drummond has no connection with the miniature. (c) W. B. Turnbull, The Poetical Works of William Drummond of Hawthornden. London, 1856 (reprinted in 1890) —as frontispiece, according to the copy of the Maitland Club edition, but reduced and embellished. V. Unsigned portrait (reproduced for the first time in plate 5, facing p. xii); half length to right, in lace-edged collarette. This portrait, a beautiful work of art, is at Hawthorn- den, and has been there for a considerable time. When, some hundred years ago, John Gibson Lockhart visited Hawthornden, he had no doubt as to the authenticity of the portrait in question ; in the following passage of II Plate 4.—Portrait from the Miniature formerly at Hawthornden. Facing page x. ICONOGRAPHY. XI his Peter’s Letters to his Kinsfolk, he gives a beautiful and withal remarkably accurate description of it: “ Mr. G carried me into the house, chiefly to show me the original portrait of Drummond, which is preserved there ; and, in truth, I am obliged to him for having done so. The picture represents him at about the age of forty— the best of all ages, perhaps, for taking a man’s portrait, if only one is to be taken of him—when the substance of the face is in all its firmness and vigour, and the fire of youth has been tempered, but not obscured, by the gravity of manhood. Drummond’s features are singularly fine and expressive—and the picture is an admirable one, and in perfect preservation, so that we see them exactly as they were the day they were painted. His forehead is clear, open, and compact, with the short black hair combed back in dark glossy ringlets, in the true Italian style—as we see it in the pictures of Venetian Nobles, by Titian. The nose is high and aquiline, and the lips rich and full, like those in the statues of Antinous. His eyes are black as jet (and so are his eyebrows), but the dazzle of their brilliancy is softened by a melancholy wateriness, which gives to the whole visage an inexpress- ible air of pensive delicacy and sentiment.”1 Since Lockhart’s days, however, the portrait described by him has been all but forgotten,2 and most of the authorities to whom it has been submitted are agreed that it does not represent the poet Drummond.

  • Flowers in Greek Mythology
    Flowers in Greek Mythology Everybody knows how rich and exciting Greek Mythology is. Everybody also knows how rich and exciting Greek Flora is. Find out some of the famous Greek myths flower inspired. Find out how feelings and passions were mixed together with flowers to make wonderful stories still famous in nowadays. Anemone:The name of the plant is directly linked to the well known ancient erotic myth of Adonis and Aphrodite (Venus). It has been inspired great poets like Ovidius or, much later, Shakespeare, to compose hymns dedicated to love. According to this myth, while Adonis was hunting in the forest, the ex- lover of Aphrodite, Ares, disguised himself as a wild boar and attacked Adonis causing him lethal injuries. Aphrodite heard the groans of Adonis and rushed to him, but it was too late. Aphrodite got in her arms the lifeless body of her beloved Adonis and it is said the she used nectar in order to spray the wood. The mixture of the nectar and blood sprang a beautiful flower. However, the life of this 1 beautiful flower doesn’t not last. When the wind blows, makes the buds of the plant to bloom and then drifted away. This flower is called Anemone because the wind helps the flowering and its decline. Adonis:It would be an omission if we do not mention that there is a flower named Adonis, which has medicinal properties. According to the myth, this flower is familiar to us as poppy meadows with the beautiful red colour. (Adonis blood). Iris: The flower got its name from the Greek goddess Iris, goddess of the rainbow.

The Anacreontea is a volume of approximately sixty lyric poems that was long attributed to the Greek poet Anacreon (c. 575-490 BCE), and was certainly believed to constitute his work in the early modern period. The first edition of the Anacreontea appeared in 1554 from the press of Henri Estienne; its verse was translated into a number of languages throughout the Renaissance and into the eighteenth century.

REVERENCE OF THE AUTHOR. I think Scandinavian Paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest ; it continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century : eight hundred years ago the Norwegians were still worshipers of Odin. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers ; the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways. Strange : they did believe that, while we believe so differently. Let us look a little at this poor Norse creed, for many reasons. We have tolerable means to do it ; for there is another point of interest in these Scandinavian mythologies : that they have been preserved so well. Neither is there no use in knowing something about this old Paganism of our fathers. Unconsciously, and combined with higher things, it is in us yet, that old faith withal.

  • The Grassy-Green Sea Christian Thorne
    The Grassy-Green Sea Christian Thorne Adam, Eve, and the Serpent 1 1. I would like to consider just a single question here, but it is a big one. Bigness, in fact, is its subject and mode. Is it possible to represent the complexity of social life under global capitalism? It has often been argued that the classic realist novel, as practiced, say, by Balzac, offered something like a spontaneous lesson in social history. On the face of it, the realist novel often had the form of biography -- it seemed to tell the story of a single life, of David Copperfield or Felix Holt -- but its secret achievement was to situate that one life within the changing history of social relationships. Such novels, in other words, demonstrated that individual lives could not be understood without also understanding the complex social networks of which they were a part. It is noteworthy, then, that the realist novel, as a genre, only emerged in western Europe under conditions of unprecedented social complexity, organized around the new phenomena of finance, global trade, the bureaucratic state, the public sphere, the advanced division of labor. The realist novel offered its readers one way of imagining their collective condition amidst such complexity, and the faltering of realism over the twentieth century -- its waning in favor of non-realist narrative forms -- must be understood as the faltering of that project. It has meant that contemporary narrative can no longer represent the social world in this one crucially important way. Under conditions of political and economic globalization, which entangle individuals in social networks of ever more extended intricacy, established narrative techniques break down or come to seem patently false.

  • Ammianus Marcellinus on the Geography of the Pontus Euxinus
    Histos () – AMMIANUS MARCELLINUS ON THE GEOGRAPHYOF THE PONTUS EUXINUS “Das eitle Bemühen um Allwissenheit, wie es der Fluch aller encyclo- pädischen Bildung ist, und vor allem der Fluch jener unseligen, auch auf dem geistigen Gebiet, in der Trümmerwelt einer grössern Vergang- enheit kümmerlich hausenden Generationen war, zeigt sich bei Ammian … auf diesem Gebiet …” This quotation of more than a century ago by Theodor Mommsen expresses a harsh verdict on Ammianus Marcellinus’ acquaintance with the geogra- phy of the world as it was known in his days (it is geographical knowledge which is meant by “diesem Gebiet”). In this field Ammianus had a “schein- haftes Bescheidwissen” and empty words had to conceal his “Unkenntniss”, according to the same Mommsen. Mommsen’s article, written in reaction to V. Gardthausen’s Die geographischen Quellen Ammians , which expressed a more positive opinion, had a great impact. Soon Mommsen’s unfavourable view of Ammianus’ knowledge of geography was widely accepted and has for a long time not been seriously disputed. The Res Gestae of the fourth-century historian Ammianus Marcellinus started where Tacitus had left off, that is in the year C.E. with the reign of Nerva, and ended at the year . The work originally consisted of books, but the first books have unfortunately been lost. The extant books cover only some twenty-five years of Roman history, namely the years from to . Thus Ammianus wrote the history of his own time, of which he himself was not only a part but also an eyewitness, since he was present at several important events of this period.

  • Redating Pericles: a Re-Examination of Shakespeare’S
    REDATING PERICLES: A RE-EXAMINATION OF SHAKESPEARE’S PERICLES AS AN ELIZABETHAN PLAY A THESIS IN Theatre Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by Michelle Elaine Stelting University of Missouri Kansas City December 2015 © 2015 MICHELLE ELAINE STELTING ALL RIGHTS RESERVED REDATING PERICLES: A RE-EXAMINATION OF SHAKESPEARE’S PERICLES AS AN ELIZABETHAN PLAY Michelle Elaine Stelting, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2015 ABSTRACT Pericles's apparent inferiority to Shakespeare’s mature works raises many questions for scholars. Was Shakespeare collaborating with an inferior playwright or playwrights? Did he allow so many corrupt printed versions of his works after 1604 out of indifference? Re-dating Pericles from the Jacobean to the Elizabethan era answers these questions and reveals previously unexamined connections between topical references in Pericles and events and personalities in the court of Elizabeth I: John Dee, Philip Sidney, Edward de Vere, and many others. The tournament impresas, alchemical symbolism of the story, and its lunar and astronomical imagery suggest Pericles was written long before 1608. Finally, Shakespeare’s focus on father-daughter relationships, and the importance of Marina, the daughter, as the heroine of the story, point to Pericles as written for a young girl. This thesis uses topical references, Shakespeare’s anachronisms, Shakespeare’s sources, stylometry and textual analysis, as well as Henslowe’s diary, the Stationers' Register, and other contemporary documentary evidence to determine whether there may have been versions of Pericles circulating before the accepted date of 1608.

No. _Zv_^ _ii ALL RIGHTS RESERVED INTRODUCTION Our grandfathers regarded the study of mythology as a necessary adjunct to a polite education, without a knowledge of which neither the classical nor the more modem poets could be read with understanding. But it is now recognised that upon mythology and folklore rests the basis of the new science of Comparative Religion. The evolution of religion from mythology has now been made plain. It is a law of evolution that, though the parent types which precede certain forms are doomed to perish, they yet bequeath to their descendants certain of their characteristics ; and although mythology has perished (in the civilised world, at least), it has left an indelible stamp not only upon modem religions, but also upon local and national custom. The work of Fruger, Lang, Immerwahr, and others has revolutionised mythology, and has evolved from the unexplained mass of tales of forty years ago a definite and systematic science.
