New Evidence About The Strolling Actor George Jolly (1613–ca. 1683)
“Eene schoone engelsche troupe”: William Durham and His Company of Travelling Performers in Ghent (1713) and Germany (1724–1728)
Relying on information contained in Prosper Claeys’ Histoire du théâtre à Gand (1892) and in notes by nineteenth-century German theatre historians, the present essay seeks to partially reconstruct the repertory of William Durham, the (largely forgotten) manager of a troupe of wandering actors, who performed at Ghent in 1713 and in various German cities between 1724 or 1725 and 1728. No particulars are available about his performances at Ghent, wh…
Edward Robinson: A Forgotten English Performer on the Continent in 1711
New light on the strolling performers Thomas Peadle and Thomas Cosby, 1639–1650
The present article brings to light new information about Thomas Peadle, a representative of the younger generation of a late 16th- and early 17th-century family of strolling entertainers, whose career has been very imperfectly documented. Archival materials relating to his marriage in Amsterdam in 1639, his presence at Delft in 1640, and his appearance at The Hague in 1641 suggest that Peadle took his troupe on a tour of The Low Countries in the…

Jacob Hall and other Rope Dancers at The Hague, 1679–1681
The present article is based on a number of unexplored notarial acts preserved in the City Archives at The Hague, which contain new evidence about Jacob Hall (fl. 1662–1681), the most famous of English rope dancers. Having become a citizen of The Hague in 1679, Hall envisaged continuing his career in the Low Countries, where in 1680 he entered into a partnership with Moritz von der Beck (ca. 1649–1694), a French manager-rope dancer. The archival …
A Late Nineteenth-Century Belgian Parody of The Raven
This contribution calls attention to what was probably the first Belgian authored adaptation/translation of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem. Published in L’Escholier, a students’ journal, in 1894, La Buse was the work of the aspiring poet Francis Bohan (pseud. of Thomas Braun, 1876–1961). He turned Poe’s poem into a spoof reflecting his own preoccupations as a first-year student and as the representative of a distinguished family

A Cloistered Entrepôt: Sir Tobie Matthew and the English Carmel in Antwerp
To escape religious persecution in England, English Carmelite nuns took refuge in Antwerp, where in 1619 Anne of the Ascension (Anne Worsley, 1588-1644) and Lady Mary Lovell (c. 1564-1628) had founded a convent expressly for exiled young English ladies. Although insulated from the world by enclosure and obedience to the rule, the Antwerp Carmel was not cut off from its surroundings. A careful perusal of the foundation's "Chronicle'' and the vast …
