Slippery turns’
Quentin Skinner argues that a number of Shakespeare’s plays depict characters making use of the rhetorical figure paradiastole (the moral redescription of actions), and that in the majority of cases a speaker’s use of it is exposed and condemned. The exception is Coriolanus, which uniquely leaves the figure unexposed and the questions it raises unresolved. This article engages with Skinner’s argument by suggesting (1) that Coriolanus is perhaps n…

The Materialls for the Building’
Bacon’s Sylva Sylvarum and his New Atlantis both appeared soon after his death, edited by his chaplain, Rawley. The works are, on the face of it, dissimilar, and have been treated as unrelated, on the assumption that Rawley was merely attempting to rush out (in the wake of his employer’s death) two works that had occupied his last years. In order to establish just what their relation is, we need to establish, first, whether New Atlantis was simpl…

Parrhesia
The understanding of free speech was, from fifth century Athens onwards, rhetorically coloured, and Greek uses of parrhesia and the definitions of licentia later set out in Roman handbooks are highly influential to sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English works on rhetoric and political advice. Consequently, discussions of liberty of speech in Elizabethan and Jacobean England can often be understood best if read with an eye to the conditions of…
