Introduction Besides the great northern cycles of mystery plays, which deal with biblical episodes, early Tudor drama includes almost exclusively morality plays and interludes, whose didactic purpose is to show the wiles of evil and the route to Christian salvation. keywords: anonymous; avarice; century; court; crime; drama; early; england; english; god; henry; interlude; justice; law; london; mankind; medieval; modern; money; play; press; punishment; sin; tudor; university; usury cache: bsfmjems-12538.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-12538.txt item: #16 of 188 id: bsfmjems-12539 author: Hernández Arana, Luis Fernando title: Between Sin and Crime: The Contrasting Hermeneutics of J.

For a collegiate physician, the essence of his profession was not to cure the sick, but to offer good advice about health to preserve it, prevent illnesses, and prolong life. keywords: advice; cambridge; college; directions; edition; english; good; london; medical; modality; new; past; physicians; plague; royal; use; visser cache: bsfmjems-14107.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-14107.txt item: #44 of 188 id: bsfmjems-14108 author: Carmichael, Ann G. title: The Forensic Tradition in Milan’s Civic Mortality Registers date: 2022-12-13 words: 14519 flesch: 46 summary: Katharine Park shows that dissection of plague victims did occur during the initial wave of plague, but this mode of investigating plague deaths did not continue (2010, 293, n. 7).1 From the outset, however, Bills and life tables derived from them ‘appear to master the overwhelming magnitudes of plague deaths’ (Wernimont 2018, 41). keywords: asmi; bills; body; catelano; cause; century; city; college; cum; dead; death; diagnosis; disease; doi; era; evidence; health; history; investigation; iudicio; judgment; london; master; medicine; medieval; milan; modern; mortality; new; non; office; persons; physicians; plague; pop; postmortem; press; registers; report; sforza; university; years cache: bsfmjems-14108.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-14108.txt item: #45 of 188 id: bsfmjems-14226 author: Ceccarelli, Alessia title: Plague and Politics in Genoa (1528-1664) date: 2023-01-30 words: 14605 flesch: 57 summary: The Duke had conspired against the Republic and sought to undermine its freedom, spreading political plague and religious infection at once – and therefore deserving to die by the same scourge.

The New Oxford Shakespeare orthodox editors, he says, affirm the idea ‘that the First Folio is the work of many hands’, creating an entity similar to what elsewhere he has defined as ‘an amalgamation of authors’ (204); and it is disconcerting that, from the opposite side of the textual barricade, John Jowett asks himself: ‘How much amputation can the authorial body endure?’ keywords: attribution; authorship; bacon; book; cambridge; canon; century; collaboration; disintegration; edition; editors; folio; idea; london; mckenzie; meaning; modern; new; oxford; oxford shakespeare; plays; press; shakespeare; studies; taylor; texts; textual; university; william; william shakespeare; works cache: bsfmjems-14292.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-14292.txt item: #47 of 188 id: bsfmjems-14348 author: Greenup, Sylvia title: ‘Playing at Bo-peep with the world’ The Author/Actor in Charlotte Charke’s Narrative date: 2023-03-25 words: 14189 flesch: 46 summary: (50), the notorious Charlotte Cibber Charke was; how every appearance she made, both verbal and visual, was to be read as a performance.

Already in 1954, W.K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley had dismantled that idea and exposed it as a ‘fallacy’: although not contesting the idea and ideology of authorship (an author is for them still an Author), they prepared the ground for American New Criticism and for the European lignée of theories which constituted one of the most controversial issues in twentieth- century literary, textual and philosophical theorizations. keywords: authorship; case; essay; issue; textual cache: bsfmjems-6979.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6979.txt item: #61 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6980 author: Gabler, Hans title: Beyond Author-Centricity in Scholarly Editing date: 2012-03-09 words: 10437 flesch: 45 summary: At virtually the same time in editorial history when the fulfilling of au- thorial intention was proclaimed the ultimate goal of scholarly editing in the Anglo-American domain, authorial intention was within the German editorial school declared outright unfit to provide a base for editors’ decisions towards establishing edition texts.

In terms of genre, conversion narratives can be seen as instances of what Culpeper and Kytö have defined as ‘speech-based’ texts, that is texts ‘that are based on an actual “real-life” speech event’, texts that are, as far as the Early Modern period is concerned, ‘reconstructions assisted by notes’ (2010, 17). keywords: account; avery; church; collection; conversion; discourse; experience; god; life; london; narratives; order; public; rogers; self; spirit; testimonies; testimony; texts; university cache: bsfmjems-6983.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6983.txt item: #65 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6984 author: Malena, Adelisa title: Ego-documents or ‘Plural Compositions’?

The consequence was a general decrease of new plays, under the menace of the censor, and the definitive annulment of any potential competition between the two theatres. keywords: adaptation; author; authorship; century; corneille; drama; english; foote; genius; identity; liar; new; original; originality; play; shakespeare; time cache: bsfmjems-6987.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6987.txt item: #69 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6988 author: Lucas Fiorato, Corinne title: The Birth of Artist-Authors and the negozio dell’inestimabile date: 2012-03-09 words: 8701 flesch: 56 summary: A questo io gli dissi che l’opere mie deciderebbono quella quistione e quel suo dubbio, e che certissimo io atterrei a Sua Eccellenzia molto più di quel che io gli promettevo, e che mi dessi pur le comodità che io potessi fare tal cosa, perché sanza quelle comodità io non gli potrei attenere la gran cosa che io gli promettevo. ha il tutto con le parti e che hanno le parti fra loro e col tutto insieme; e perché da questa cognizione nasce un certo concetto e giudizio, che si forma nella mente quella tal cosa che poi espressa con le mani si chiama disegno, si può conchiudere che esso disegno altro non sia che una apparente espressione e dichiarazione del concetto che si ha nell’animo, e di quello che altri si è nella mente imaginato e fabricato nell’idea. keywords: artist; authors; benvenuto; cellini; century; che; con; cosimo; dialogue; duke; fact; fiorato; gli; idea; lucas; non; prince; project; sala; vasari; vita; vol; way; work cache: bsfmjems-6988.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6988.txt item: #70 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6989 author: Pallotti, Donatella; Pugliatti, Paola title: Authors on Authorship date: 2012-03-09 words: 10488 flesch: 66 summary: Ora, poi che io ho letto nel vostro Libretto, dove dite, che, parlando filosoficamente, quelle cose che ànno un medesimo fine, sono una medesima cosa; sono mu- tato d’oppinione: et dico, che se maggiore iudicio et difficultà, impedimento et fatica non fa maggiore nobiltà; che la pittura et scultura The excitement of simultaneous ideas may derive from each isolated word, either literal or metaphorical, their location, turn of the sentence, and the very elimination of other words, etc. keywords: artist; author; authorship; characters; che; day; donatella; life; man; non; pallotti; paola; person; pittura; poet; pugliatti; style; things; time; words; work; world; writing cache: bsfmjems-6989.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6989.txt item: #71 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6990 author: , title: Contributors date: 2012-03-09 words: 1087 flesch: 50 summary: With Stephen O’Neill, she has co-edited Shakespeare and the Irish Writer (2010).

The pioneering character of Weimann’s book was not only in his assertion of the necessity to re-read and interrogate Shakespeare’s theatrical works in a historical perspective and, more generally, to re-read theatre as a cultural institution in history (those were the years of a different, ‘new’, kind of historicism); but also in the fact that it opened up a new and extremely promising field for Shake- spearean studies: that of an inquiry into the many ways in which Shakespeare’s plays demonstrate their engagement with early modern popular culture and also the ways in which the popular tradition is present in his works. keywords: culture; early; modern; popular; shakespeare; studies cache: bsfmjems-6995.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6995.txt item: #76 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6996 author: Pugliatti, Paola title: People and the Popular, Culture and the Cultural date: 2013-03-27 words: 12631 flesch: 41 summary: Popular culture, he says, ‘looks, in any particular period, at those forms and activities which have their roots in the social and material condi- tions of particular classes; which have been embodied in popular traditions and practices’ (234-235). He sees the field of such forms and activities as permanently oscillating between containment and resistance, because they are permanently involved in ‘a continuous and necessarily uneven and unequal struggle, by the dominant culture, constantly to disorganise and reorganise popular culture; to enclose and confine its definitions and forms within a more inclusive range of dominant forms’ (233). keywords: burke; century; cultural; culture; early; england; folk; folklore; forms; historians; historical; history; idea; modern; new; people; shakespeare; sources; studies; study; texts cache: bsfmjems-6996.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6996.txt item: #77 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6997 author: Cressy, David title: Demotic Voices and Popular Complaint in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England date: 2013-03-27 words: 7678 flesch: 61 summary: There is grist here for many mills, not least the debate about Shakespeare and early modern popular culture that Paola Pugliatti and Janet Clare stimu- lated at the Ninth World Shakespeare Congress at Prague in July 2011.14 Pugliatti and Clare pose questions about matters central and peripheral, normative and canonical, metamorphic and marginal, as well as elite and popular, that can be addressed but not resolved through study of Shakespeare’s works.

In order to do this, a wide range of medical treatises has been analysed (either directly or through specific corpora such as Medieval English Medical Texts, MEMT 2005, and Early Modern English Medical Texts, EMEMT 2010), so as to verify the ancestry or the novelty of Shakespearean medical words. keywords: century; corpus; england; english; knowledge; list; london; medical; medicine; modern; mullini; physic; physicians; plays; press; shakespeare; table; terms; texts; university; women; words cache: bsfmjems-6998.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-6998.txt item: #79 of 188 id: bsfmjems-6999 author: Kaegi, Ann title: ‘What say the citizens’ in Shakespeare’s Richard III? date: 2013-03-27 words: 13830 flesch: 50 summary: The marginalization of Mistress Shore in Richard III runs counter to the play’s most important sources and to her treatment in writings by several of Shakespeare’s contemporaries.19 Shore’s wife is portrayed at length and rela- tively sympathetically by Thomas More in his History of King Richard III, by Thomas Churchyard in the tragedy of ‘Shore’s Wife’ which he contributed to the expanded edition of the Mirror for Magistrates (printed in 1563), and in the Queen’s Men’s play The True Tragedy of Richard III (printed in 1594).

Where Burnett and Neill each interpreted the performative qualities of early modern service as evidence of subjects’ increasing alienation from roles previously understood as innate and essential, Evett construed such performances as a normalizing behavior which conforms the servant’s affect to his social value. keywords: burnett; century; critics; england; english; freedom; literature; love; master; modern; modern england; neill; new; press; servants; service; shakespeare; slavery; university; women; work cache: bsfmjems-7032.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7032.txt item: #110 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7033 author: Clegg, Jeanne title: Good to Think with: Domestic Servants, England 1660-1750 date: 2015-03-02 words: 11695 flesch: 47 summary: domestic servants, england 1660-1750 45 One of the organisers of – and principal contributors to – that project (and to this volume) has recently published a survey of fifty years of international scholarship on service (Sarti 2014) which takes into account a much bigger range of work published in many more languages than I am able to deal with. domestic servants, england 1660-1750 47 she had twize gon a mechinge in the woodes, which we haue bin faine to send all our Company to seeke. keywords: cambridge; century; class; eighteenth; england; family; history; household; labour; life; london; masters; modern; new; people; press; sarti; servants; service; steedman; time; university; women; work cache: bsfmjems-7033.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7033.txt item: #111 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7034 author: Buffey, Emily title: ‘I keepe my watche, and warde’: Richard Robinson’s Rewarde of Wickednesse (1574) date: 2015-03-02 words: 13015 flesch: 58 summary: The family was also served in a much broader sense of the term by Dr John Robinson, who was the family tutor for several years and was later recommended by the Earl to the Deanery of Lincoln.

Professional copyists were occasionally employed in making literary manuscripts, but literary manuscript production was initiated, more often than not, by would-be owners seeking to make and record social and literary connections rather than by entrepreneurial copyists.4 This broader notion of non-commercial manuscript production is particularly useful in exploring verse miscellanies and other literary manuscripts produced for personal use, and it allows me to take a step back from the 3 Woudhuysen suggests that scriptorium publishing may have existed before the Restoration, but also concedes that it ‘may also be a particular feature of the Restoration’ (1996, 19). keywords: bacon; cholmley; copying; copyists; culture; evidence; hand; household; labor; manuscript; modern; poems; press; production; rawley; scribes; servants; service; studies; university; whythorne cache: bsfmjems-7036.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7036.txt item: #114 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7037 author: Miller, Michelle title: Servant Advisers: The Curious Memoirs of the Duc de Sully date: 2015-03-02 words: 12938 flesch: 54 summary: By means of a case study, I suggest that gentleman servants may have played an important role in correcting and coaching their masters on manners and civility, a notion which expands Elias’ account of the ‘civilizing process’.

(1602, B1r) Thomas Fosset went so far as to argue that good servants must even endure suffering at the hands of their masters, ‘If when ye do wel ye suffer wrong and take it patiently, this is acceptable to God … for here unto yee are called, God hath called you to this, that is, to obey and to suffer’ (1613, 10). keywords: beatrice; changeling; diaphanta; flores; joanna; modern; moral; murder; overbury; performance; play; public; role; servants; service; struggle; transcript; trial; turner; weston cache: bsfmjems-7040.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7040.txt item: #118 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7041 author: Meyer, Liam title: ‘Humblewise’: Deference and Complaint in the Court of Requests date: 2015-03-02 words: 12280 flesch: 48 summary: Some cases may, in reality, certainly have involved conflicts between individuals actually quite proximate in social rank, or closer to business partners than masters and servants.

On that occasion, the editors of the present volume chaired a seminar whose intent was to discuss issues of authorship, co-authorship and collaboration, the achievements (and pitfalls) of attribution studies, as well as the theme of biography, which we considered a different but complementary issue aiming at the construction of authorship, or at least of the Author. keywords: authorship; collaboration; shakespeare; studies cache: bsfmjems-7050.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7050.txt item: #127 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7051 author: Chartier, Roger title: Everything and Nothing: The Many Lives of William Shakespeare date: 2016-03-09 words: 4846 flesch: 45 summary: On the other hand, Shakespeare’s name or initials appear on collections of poems where he is only one author among others (this is the case of The Passionate Pilgrime, published by Jaggard in 1599, which is said to be ‘By W.

The essay reconsiders Shakespeare’s life and career in the light of these developments arguing that thinking that we can know Shakespeare well invariably leads to ignorance rather than enlightenment because the past can never be quite like the present. keywords: cambridge; history; life; love; modern; new; people; plays; press; romeo; shakespeare; university; work; writers; writing cache: bsfmjems-7053.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7053.txt item: #130 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7054 author: Scheil, Katherine title: Shakespearian Biography and the Geography of Collaboration date: 2016-03-09 words: 10645 flesch: 54 summary: Greenblatt Stephen (2004), Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare, New York, W.W.

Ennui in Eighteenth-Century English Culture date: 2017-03-10 words: 11006 flesch: 62 summary: A New Timeline for Ennui In the last decade of the eighteenth century, John Bennett wrote some advice to young women in which he made visible the blurred lines between having too much time, feelings of ennui, and the moral difficulties that arose from trying to fill time in the wrong way: It is a great unhappiness to many ladies of fortune, that they have not sufficient employment to fill up their time; and in order to prevent that languor and ennui, which are the most unpleasant feelings of human life, either fall into a low state of spirits, or have recourse to play, public pleasures, or a perpetual round of visits, for their amusement. Even though space does not allow us here to go into nineteenth-century expressions of ennui, it should be noted that the eighteenth-century understanding of ennui gives a sound basis for reading the madness of ennui of the following century, the Romantic boredom of Byron and his companions, or Maria Edgeworth’s much studied novel, Ennui (1809),13 in which aristocratic ennui takes forms that bring on disease, including hypochondriasis, and can lead to moral or spiritual crisis, even the possibility of suicide. keywords: anonymous; boredom; century; country; eighteenth; english; ennui; french; history; killing; lady; life; london; mind; moral; novel; term; time; vols; women cache: bsfmjems-7080.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7080.txt item: #157 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7081 author: Ashcroft, Rachel title: (Re)thinking Time: Giordano Bruno and Michel de Montaigne date: 2017-03-10 words: 12757 flesch: 56 summary: (re)thinking time 169 of all things;27 emotions, movements, materials – everything is guaranteed to move from one contrary to the other, ‘this constitutes the natural order’.28 Once again, if one ignores the ability to ‘think’ time, it appears that for Bruno time would simply constitute a series of changing states. One of the most detailed instances of vicissitude appears in the fifth and final dialogue of the Cena de le ceneri, Bruno’s first work in the series of ‘Italian Dialogues’.20 Here Bruno explains that materia is incorruptible and thus it only changes state, rather than being destroyed entirely: the matter and substance of all things is incorruptible, owing to the fact that all parts are subject to all forms, so that according to all the parts (as far as is possible) there is everything; if not in one and the same time and instant of eternity, at least in different times, in various instants of eternity, successively and due to vicissitude: because even though matter is capable of being all forms, each part of matter cannot be everything altogether.21 keywords: beings; body; bruno; che; death; des; essais; existence; future; humans; life; mind; montaigne; nature; new; non; nous; order; que; soul; thinkers; time; world cache: bsfmjems-7081.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7081.txt item: #158 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7082 author: Eriksen, Anne title: Time and Exemplarity date: 2017-03-10 words: 11118 flesch: 59 summary: They differ considerably from modern history books in not being structured chronologically but according to the virtues the histories are meant to illustrate.

But even such an exclusionary relationship between written, and oral texts, even in the perilous domain of theatrical works, can give way to a sort of alliance. keywords: actor; audience; author; book; case; century; dati; degl’innocenti; essay; molinari; performance; reading; tasso; text; time; voice; words cache: bsfmjems-7089.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7089.txt item: #166 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7090 author: Molinari, Cesare title: Storytelling, Memory, Theatre date: 2018-03-09 words: 8358 flesch: 53 summary: In such cases one can readily agree with Marshall McLuhan: the medium really is the message (or massage?).22 The muezzin’s voice could easily be recorded – and I imagine that this can actually be the case.

Customs of this sub- or semi-dramatic kind had certainly developed by the later Middle Ages, and in this form might well have featured in or had influence on stage plays. keywords: afterlife; drama; english; folk; granida; henry; january; line; love; material; mummers; new; original; performance; pettitt; play; r l; r n; sir; smith; stage; text; theatre; thomas; truro; vernacular cache: bsfmjems-7107.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7107.txt item: #182 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7108 author: Ciancarelli, Roberto title: Visions of the City in Seventeenth-Century Roman Popular Theatre date: 2019-03-14 words: 7571 flesch: 63 summary: Ti torno à dire che la casa e di messer Tiburzio vattene in mal’hora Zan.

For example, a sceptic might declare that if we cannot understand its usage in this play that was acknowledged to be extremely transparent, then we have no grounds to claim we can detect whether or not it is being used in other plays that are presumably more complex. keywords: bishop; charles; chess; english; folio; game; herbert; james; jonson; king; life; london; measure; middleton; pawn; play; plot; politics; queen; shakespeare; spanish; taylor; white; wqp cache: bsfmjems-7109.pdf plain text: bsfmjems-7109.txt item: #184 of 188 id: bsfmjems-7110 author: Dongu, Maria Grazia title: An Eighteenth-Century mise en scène and the Play of Refractions: Essayists, Critics, Spectators, and an Actor Negotiate Meanings date: 2019-03-14 words: 11711 flesch: 53 summary: Rewritings, adaptations, hypertexts, and refractions are the labels used by scholars to describe texts which have been derived from other texts.
