Extractions: Illustrated by Don Thompson For centuries the lands that lie between East and West have attracted imaginative and articulate travelers fascinated by past and present civilizations. During the last 100 years, in particular, such travelers have not only replenished the literature of travel, but also have raised it to new levels of grace and perception - none more skillfully than Freya Stark. A Middle East traveler, an explorer and, above all, a writer, Freya Stark has, with an incomparably clear eye, looked toward the horizon of the past without ever losing sight of the present. Her books are route plans of a perceptive intelligence, traversing time and space with ease. Fording a stream on foot, she looks down at the stones and sees an ancient carved inscription through the running water. On the other side of the stream, the Bedouin guide is waiting, and there is a living village, built on the site of heaven-knows-how-many vanished habitations. The explorer lodges happily in such villages, in the old quarters of ancient cities, and in the black tents of the Bedouin that "rest on the surface of the world like a seagull on a wave."

Extractions: Any discussion of Shakespeare's life is bound to be loaded with superlatives. In the course of a quarter century, Shakespeare wrote some thirty-eight plays. Taken individually, several of them are among the world's finest written works; taken collectively, they establish Shakespeare as the foremost literary talent of his own Elizabethan Age and, even more impressively, as a genius whose creative achievement has never been surpassed in any age. Whatever the differences of opinion, valid or at least plausible views about Shakespeare, his character and his personal experience continue to be advanced. Yet even among modern Shakespeare biographies, in addition to outlandish interpretations of the available facts, there persists (and grows) a body of traditions about such matters as Shakespeare's marriage, his move to London, the circumstances of his death and the like. The result of all this is that there is now a huge tapestry of descriptive, critical, and analytical work about Shakespeare in existence, much of it reasonable, some of it outlandish, and some of it hogwash. Three important points about Shakespeare Parish records establish that William Shakespeare was baptized on 26 April, 1564. Simply counting backwards the three customary days between birth and baptism in Anglican custom, most reckon that the Bard of Avon was born on 23 April, 1564. This is, indeed, Shakespeare's official birthday in England, and, it is also the traditional birth date of St. George, the patron saint of England. The exact date and the precise cause of Shakespeare's death are unknown: one local tradition asserts that the Bard died on 23 April, 1616, of a chill caught after a night of drinking with fellow playwrights Ben Jonson and Michael Drayton. Shakespeare was, in fact, buried three days later, exactly 52 years after his baptism.
Online NewsHour: Angels In America--October 1, 1997 RICHARD RODRIGUEZ We are living through an age no less astonishing than the oneHamlet new. The elizabethans sent galleons to the edge of the world. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/essays/october97/rodriguez_10-1.html
Extractions: NEWSHOUR TRANSCRIPT Essayist Richard Rodriguez has some thoughts about Americans and angels. RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: In America today angels are the lead players in movies and on television. They are mascots for a professional baseball team. We like to think of Los Angeles as the City of Angels. And angels are in the employ of major New York publishing houses. Angels have become big business at your local bookstore, though angels must compete with books that tell you how to talk to your dog or whisper to your horse. Four hundred years ago, in a more golden age of literature, young Prince Hamlet sighed, "What a piece of work is man, how like an angel. Paragon of animals." It was a familiar conceit of the times, the notion that humans are suspended between the realm of animals and the realm of angels. Isnt it curious that for all of our differences from the world that Hamlet knew we would share his preoccupation with the human relationship to the animal and to the angel? Angels appear in Judaism, in Islam, in my own Christianity. From childhood I loved the way they floated at the edges of Renaissance paintingsloved the exalted military ranks of angels, the seraphim, the cherubim. The most interesting thing about angels is the way their existence implied that humans are not the only creatures in Gods creation. To that extent agents anticipate the question posed for theology by modern space exploration: What if there is life elsewhere in creation? There are traditions about the fall of disobedient angels and the fidelity of the good.

Extractions: Peter K. AYERS Staging Modernity: Chapman, Jonson, and the Decline from the Golden Age No. 47 (April, 1995), pp. 9-27 INDEX TERMS 1) Jonson, Ben 2) The Alchemist 3) Urban world 4) Authorship 5) George Chapman's comedies 6) Alchemy 7) Textual/historical analysis 8) Golden Age 9) Saturnalia The subject of the world's decline from the Golden Age to the present provides an interesting vehicle for exploring a number of plays of George Chapman and Ben Jonson. In All Fools Monsieur d'Olive The Widow's Tears (1605), and The Alchemist (1610), the passing of the Golden Age is represented as a form of distinctively urban saturnalia, a liberation from the weight of traditional moral, spiritual, social, political, and cultural values and restraint inherited from the past. Full weight is given to the squalor of the present, but equally to the paradoxical fashion in which it is precisely such squalor that permits the present to free itself from the past. In the plays of Chapman such iconoclasm is largely thematic; in The Alchemist it is more interestingly incorporated into the linguistic, theatrical, and textual structures of the play as well. Face's reference to Dol's 'modern happiness' (4.1.22) provides one focal point; the exploration of linguistic collapse, here associated with the Tower of Babel, another; the perverse vindication of alchemy on both a literal and metaphorical level, another; the involuntary complicity of the audience in the alchemical con-games of the rogues, and the theatrical con-games of the author, another; the manipulation of textual effects in Jonson's exploitation of the medium of print, yet another.

16th Century Renaissance exploration, Travel, and the World Outside Europe elizabethans whowere sensible enough to stay at home could do more than read written http://home.iae.nl/users/scehv/el/newpage1.htm
Extractions: Renaissance Exploration, Travel, and the World Outside Europe English men and women of the sixteenth century experienced an unprecedented increase in knowledge of the world beyond their island. The continued attempt, most often by ruthless military means, to subjugate nearby Ireland, inspired reflections, at once tactical and ethnographic, on the fiercely independent inhabitants of that island. (Edmund Spenser's View of the Present State of Ireland provides a glimpse of how harsh colonial policy could be.) Religious persecution at home compelled a substantial number of both Catholics and Protestants to live abroad; wealthy gentlemen (and, in at least a few cases, ladies) travelled in France and Italy to view the famous cultural monuments; merchants published accounts of distant lands like Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, and Russia; and military and trading ventures took English ships to still more distant shores. In 1496 a Venetian tradesman living in Bristol, John Cabot, was granted a license by Henry VII to sail on a voyage of exploration and with his son Sebastian discovered Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Remarkable feats of seamanship and reconnaissance soon followed: on his ship the
Facundo2 An exploration into the prominence of Cleopatra as an historical figure age cannot wither her, nor custom stale. Her infinite variety. http://www.humanities.ualberta.ca/mmorris/239/facundo1.htm
Extractions: In hieroglyphs, the name reads Kleopadra. It is a name which in Greek means Glory of Her Race (Weigall, 44). It is a name belonging to a woman who has transcended the boundaries of time so that we may know her story. What better way to describe Cleopatra, the last Queen of Egypt, Ruler of the Nile, sent from the Gods themselves to lead her people, than Glory of Her Race? Cleopatra, the last ruling descendant of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, has arguably unparalleled fame as a female historical figure. Yet we must ask ourselves: why? What is it about this individual that strikes us as so intriguing that we, like the Elizabethans before us, centuries ago, like the Romans two millennia past, should divert so much of our attention into construing the motivations behind the enigmatic figure that is Cleopatra? We must look not only to Cleopatra, but also to the historical events surrounding the last few years of her rule, in order to truly understand the historical significance bestowed upon her. It was a combination of the tumultuous political upheaval and civil unrest of Rome c.a. 40 B.C. that allowed Cleopatra to utilize her exotic mysticism and considerable political cunning to manipulate the situation in an attempt to fulfill her ultimately patriotic ideals. It is her vital and unique role in these hugely significant historical events that makes her equally indispensable in the annals of history.
