Hamlet and the Vision of Darkness
The Hamlet that emerges from the pages of Rhodri Lewis's absorbing book is a play written by an intellectual writer, a dramatist attentive to dialectic and inspired by moral philosophy, especially by Cicero.Shakespeare's learnedness, Lewis demonstrates, in turn shapes the world of Hamlet's knowledge as a cognitive and dramatic resource for the play's action and language.With daring erudition, Lewis uncovers deep layers of the play's classicism pr…
Francis Bacon and Ingenuity
This essay discusses the Latin term ingenium within the writings of Francis Bacon (1561–1626). It proposes that although ingenium does not easily translate into English, Bacon uses the term in a clearly defined range of senses. For the most part, he echoes the discourse of ingenuity and inventiveness common to many sixteenth-century humanists, but differs from them in sharply delimiting the scope and status of ingenious thinking. In particular, h…

The efforts of the Aubrey correspondence group to revise John Wilkins’ Essay (1668) and their context
In the aftermath of the publication of John Wilkins’s Essay towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language (1668), the Royal Society established a committee to consider and develop Wilkins’s proposals, whose members included Seth Ward (1617–89), Robert Hooke (1635–1703), Robert Boyle (1627–1691), John Wallis (1616–1703), John Ray (1627–1705), Christopher Wren (1632–1723) and William Holder (1616–1698). Despite the fact that this committee …
Themistokles and Ephialtes
On any view, the Aristotelian account of Athens' constitutional history between victory over the Persian invaders and Ephialtes' reforms of the Areopagus and indeed beyond must be regarded as factually grudging and difficult to follow. Worse, current orthodoxy1 convicts it of a major chronological blunder for assigning a part in those reforms, which it places securely and beyond doubt correctly in the archonship of Konon (462/1), to Themistokles,…

A Problem in the Siege of Praeneste, 82 B.C
In 83 b.c. L. Cornelius Sulla invaded Italy to face his political enemies in civil war. From Brundisium he moved quickly into Campania, defeated C. Norbanus near Capua, won over the army of the other consul, L. Scipio, near Teanum Sidicinum, and advanced some way northwards—possibly to Aquinum in the middle Liris basin. There followed a lengthy pause in operations, and a very hard winter. Next year, Sulla beat the illegally youthful consul C. Mar…
