Reading the River in Shakespeare's Britain
Covering a variety of authors and genres, this edited collection examines the ways in which rivers and their resonances inform early modern British identity and culture. Individual chapters reflect on the ways rivers are employed as sites of spectacle and performance and account for the cultural reverberations of literary representations of specific rivers such as the Trent and the Thames. Topics treated range from the soteriological meaning of r…
Reading the River in Shakespeare’s Britain
Explores how perceptions of rivers shaped identity and culture in Shakespeare’s Britain Showcases new research on rivers and their cultural representation in the early modern period Covers a range of writers from Shakespeare to Izaak Walton, devotional writing, and poems and plays about the Fens, the Trent, and the Thames Helps us understand how environmental collapse begins In Shakespeare’s Britain rivers were not only a crucial form of travel a…
Titus Andronicus and the wicked streets of Rome
Titus Andronicus is full of dichotomies: Black/white, good/bad, men/women, Goths/Romans, educated/uneducated (is a verse in Horace just a verse in Horace, or ought we to look for a deeper meaning?), whole/mutilated, alive/dead. The way in which the play represents the tensions between inside and outside is however particularly provocative. This essay explores how Titus Andronicus disturbs and undermines the distinction between inside and outside …
Addressing the Audience and Making History
Few plays make such varied or such bravura use of soliloquies as Shakespeare’s Richard III. The opening forty-one-line monologue by Richard himself allows an actor to show what he can do and to capture his audience and offers a view on processes of historical causation: having started with six uses of the word ‘our’, Richard not only moves on to say ‘I’ nine times (supplemented by ‘my’ and ‘me’), but also explains that his plans are going to affe…

Exploring the perspectives of Turkish adolescents on bullying
Bullying is a global problem affecting many adolescents. Evidence on bullying is growing, mostly generated in Minority World countries. Our objective is to develop our understanding of bullying in Majority World contexts, like Turkey. We highlight the voices of 20 Turkish adolescents from reflective interviews. Using Reflexive Organic Thematic Analysis, we identified three themes: definitions of bullying, conceptualizations of the character of bu…
Taking the Mick
When Shakespeare bestows the name Michael Cassio on a character in Othello he would doubtless have been aware of some distinguised antecedents, including his friend Michael Drayton and two other authors whom he did not know personally but was fond of reading, Michel de Montaigne and Miguel Cervantes. Less immediately, several historical persons of the name, perhaps most notably the Emperor Michael Palaeologus, are mentioned in a number of early m…
Roman walls in English Renaissance writing
In 1587, an anonymous author proposed to Queen Elizabeth I that Hadrian's Wall should be reconstructed. Elizabeth did not adopt this proposal, but it testifies to a growing interest in the Wall on the part of writers such as Camden, Spenser, Drayton and William Warner. This essay examines ideas about Roman walls in these and other texts, including plays by Christopher Marlowe and Shakespeare's King John, where the city walls of Angers, originally…

John Ford’s Strange Truth
From the 1620s to the 1630s, John Ford revisited Shakespeare and made him strange. ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore inverts Romeo and Juliet by making its core relationship endogamous rather than exogamous. Perkin Warbeck is a sequel to Richard III , but undoes its original by telling a story fundamentally incompatible with Shakespeare’s. The Lover’s Melancholy echoes both Twelfth Night and King Lear , collapsing the distinction between comedy and tragedy…
Exploring the potential of a school-based online health and wellbeing screening tool
The DHC, as a universal school-based health and wellbeing screening tool with linked follow-up intervention, has great potential in identifying and supporting unmet health needs among CYP. The perspectives and experiences of those involved in delivering the DHC highlight important considerations which may enable effective implementation and delivery of school screening programmes across other areas
Festive Enterprise
This is exactly the kind of book I like to read and seem to see too few examples of. Jill Ingram sets herself to explore two interrelated questions: first, how did festive drama negotiate the radical ideological changes precipitated by the Protestant Reformation, and second, how did it continue to fund itself in the wake of the equally significant changes to the social structures and communities on which it had previously relied? Her answer is th…

Reading the Road, from Shakespeare's Crossways to Bunyan's Highways
This collection of essays examines the most influential meanings of roads in early modern literature and culture. It explores the place of the road in the early modern imagination and so opens windows on a geography which is central to all conceptions of movement. They also shed new light on perhaps the most astonishing achievement of early modern plays: their use of one small, bare space to suggest an amazing variety of physical and potentially …

‘A King of Shreds and Patches’
Introduction
Beautiful Polecats
Dr Johnson said that a pun was Shakespeare’s fatal Cleopatra. I want to argue that puns are, appropriately enough, at work with particular vigour in a play about one of Cleopatra’s lovers. Julius Caesar features a series of puns very early on, starting with the Cobbler’s ‘[a] trade, sir, that I hope I may use with a safe conscience, which is indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles’ (1.1.13–14), 2 and followed by his retort to Flavius – ‘[n]ay I beseec…

Acting the act in The Changeling
This paper focuses on the dumb-show which opens Act IV of Middleton and Rowley's The Changeling. Using evidence from other Renaissance drama and from within the play itself for the use of the word "act" to describe the interval between the acts, the paper argues that the dumb-show ostensibly offers one kind of act but in fact serves as a metaphoric representation of another, unactable "act," the sex act between Beatrice-Joanna and De Flores. It f…

Ford intitulee Perkin Warbeck (1633). Au-dela des lectures romanesque et politique de la piece, l'A. montre que le message de J. Ford consiste a denoncer la personnalite comme une maniere d'imposture, comme un role que l'on joue

The part with ne'er a bone in't
This paper works from a close reading of selected scenes between men and women in Webster's two tragedies to argue that he depicts speech and subject positions when speaking as profoundly influenced by gender. Women's language is disbelieved, prone to interruption, and valued less even by members of their own sex. To attempt to circumvent these disadvantages, women adopt male modes of speech, even to the extent of aping the actual words used by t…

Middleton'swomen beware womenand the mothering principle
Middleton's Women Beware Women seems both to address itself particularly to women and at the same time to stigmatise them. The implied misogyny of the title can perhaps be seen as justified by the behaviour of the play's central manipulator, Lima, but equally the degree of concentration on Livia alone could be read as suggesting that she is a uniquely corrupt individual, rather than a means for the playwright to condemn all women. This essay, tho…
Playing with Desire
Playing with Desire takes a new approach to Christopher Marlowe's body of writing, replacing the view of Marlovian desire as heroic aspiration with a far less uplifting model. Fred B. Tromly shows that in Marlowe's writing desire is a response to calculated, teasing enticement, ultimately a sign not of power but of impotence. The author identifies this desire with the sadistic irony of the Tantalus myth rather than with the sublime tragedy exempl…

Touching Touchets
At first sight, The Chronicle History of Perkin Warbeck seems to be the only one of Ford's plays that is not pointedly and openly concerned with sexual deviation; in contrast to his other plays, it presents a cast of characters who are models of sexual rectitude. Sometimes, however, dogs that do not bark can be as significant as ones that do. This paper argues that Perkin Warbeck actually encodes a trangressive sexuality so subversive that its tr…

We were the Trojans
In 1633, several significant works of literature were published for the first time. These included Spenser's A View of the Present State of Ireland , Jasper Fisher's Fvimus Troes , George Wither's Iwenilia , Charles Aleyn's The Battailes of Crescey and Poictiers , while John Ford's Perkins Warbeck , though not published until 1634, was probably first performed in 1633. In the same year, Charles I rode north to his Scottish coronation, calling for…

Screening the Gothic
Filmmakers have long been drawn to the Gothic with its eerie settings and promise of horror lurking beneath the surface. Moreover, the Gothic allows filmmakers to hold a mirror up to their own age and reveal society's deepest fears. Franco Zeffirelli's Jane Eyre, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet are just a few examples of film adaptations of literary Gothic texts. In this ground-breaking study, Lisa Hopki…

Marlowe’s Asia and the Feminization of Conquest
In 1507, Martin WaldseemüLler In His Cosmographiae Introductio proposed the name "America" for Columbus's newly discovered land on the explicit grounds that "I do not see why anyone should object to its being called after Americus the discoverer, a man of natural wisdom, Land of Americus or America, since both Europe and Asia have derived their names from women."1 Just over a hundred years later, in 1614, Thomas Campion's masque for the wedding o…
Renaissance Queens and Foucauldian Carcerality
This essay examines the figuring of images and experiences of imprisonment in the public and private writings and speeches of three women — Marguerite de Navarre, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I — and a man, Sir Philip Sidney, writing to an explicitly feminised agenda. It explores the ways in which the differing belief systems of Protestantism and Catholicism inflected the meanings constructed for carcerality, and the extent to which it cou…

Deathly Experiments
Beautiful Scars
In An Englis[h[ expositor[:] teaching the in[ter]pretation of the harde[st] words [vsed] in our language, John Bullokar notes that the word carbuncle ‘hath two significations, namely a precious stone, and a dangerous sore’.(sig. D2r) Generally speaking Renaissance texts keep these two meanings separate: in ways which are inevitably conditioned by the nature of their subject matter, Renaissance authors tend to be interested in exploring either the…
