  • An Electronic Edition of the Devonshire MS (British Library Additional MS 17,492), Its Encoding and Prototyping [Working Draft: 18 September 2003]
    1 The Devil is in the Details: An Electronic Edition of the Devonshire MS (British Library Additional MS 17,492), its Encoding and Prototyping [Working Draft: 18 September 2003] Raymond G. Siemens (Malaspina U-C), Karin Armstrong (Malaspina U-C) and Barbara Bond (U Victoria) Now well over a decade since our contemporary idea of the electronic scholarly edition was first fully articulated in Charles Faulhaber’s “Textual Criticism in the 21st Century,” we do take a number of things about the electronic scholarly edition for granted. Faulhaber’s 1991 publication in Romance Philology -- and subsequent work, such as that carried out by the MLA Committee on Scholarly Editions1 -- outlines the essential components of such an edition. These include its core, the base text (in encoded format), plus standard textual and critical apparatus, and pertinent external textual and graphical resources, critical materials, and so forth, all in electronic form and with their navigation facilitated by hypertextual means and the text’s analysis facilitated by additional software (134 ff.). When someone today mentions an electronic scholarly edition today, the type of edition that will come most readily to mind is, typically, this one. What might come to mind less readily are the details involved in creating such an edition, and the wide variety of issues that underlie such an edition’s production. In this paper, we hope to address a number of these issues, as they have been encountered in the course of work involved in envisioning and preparing an electronic edition of a document best known, perhaps, in relation to the work of poet Thomas Wyatt, his Devonshire MS (BL Add MS 17,492) -- a document which, beyond housing the work of Wyatt, reflects a dynamic group of men and women operating in and around Queen Anne Boleyn’s court in the mid- 1530s.

Harris English Aristocratic Women and the Fabric of Piety, 1450-1550 English Aristocratic Women and the Fabric of Piety, 1450-1550 Gendering the Late Medieval and Early Modern World Series editors: James Daybell (Chair), Victoria E. Burke, Svante Norrhem, and Merry Wiesner-Hanks This series provides a forum for studies that investigate women, gender, and/ or sexuality in the late medieval and early modern world. The editors invite proposals for book-length studies of an interdisciplinary nature, including, but not exclusively, from the fields of history, literature, art and architectural history, and visual and material culture. Consideration will be given to both monographs and collections of essays. Chronologically, we welcome studies that look at the period between 1400 and 1700, with a focus on any part of the world, as well as comparative and global works. We invite proposals including, but not limited to, the following broad themes: methodologies, theories and meanings of gender; gender, power and political culture; monarchs, courts and power; constructions of femininity and masculinity; gift-giving, diplomacy and the politics of exchange; gender and the politics of early modern archives; gender and architectural spaces (courts, salons, household); consumption and material culture; objects and gendered power; women’s writing; gendered patronage and power; gendered activities, behaviours, rituals and fashions.

  • John Skelton - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Skelton - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Skelton(1460 - 1529) John Skelton possibly born in Diss Norfolk, was an English poet. <b>Education</b> He is said to have been educated at Oxford. He certainly studied at Cambridge, and he is probably the "one Scheklton" mentioned by William Cole as taking his M.A. degree in 1484. In 1490, William Caxton writes of him, in the preface to The Boke of Eneydos compyled by Vyrgyle, in terms which prove that he had already won a reputation as a scholar. "But I pray mayster John Skelton," he says, "late created poete laureate in the unyversite of Oxenforde, to oversee and correct this sayd booke ... for him I know for suffycyent to expowne and englysshe every dyffyculte that is therin. For he hath late translated the epystlys of Tulle, and the boke of dyodorus siculus, and diverse other works ... in polysshed and ornate termes craftely ... suppose he hath drunken of Elycons well." The laureateship referred to was a degree in rhetoric. In 1493 Skelton received the same honour at Cambridge, and also, it is said, at Leuven. He found a patron in the pious and learned countess of Richmond, Henry VII's mother, for whom he wrote Of Mannes Lyfe the Peregrynacioun, a translation, now lost, of Guillaume de Deguilleyule's Pèlerinage de la vie humaine. An elegy "Of the death of the noble prince Kynge Edwarde the forth," included in some of the editions of the Mirror for Magistrates, and another (1489) on the death of Henry Percy, fourth earl of Northumberland, are among his earliest poems.
