In giving these complex poems a close reading, Vendler attempts to enter the mind and esthetics of her subject, resulting in an amazing and comprehensive commentary on the sonnets. But this is not a book for Shakespeare neophytes. Vendler assumes a degree of familiarity with Shakespeare's sonnets, and she writes in the language of literary criticism: "...the coupletplaced not as resolution but as codacan then stand in any number of relations ... to the preceding argument."). However, for those readers who have a basic knowledge of Renaissance poetics, and Shakespeare's sonnets in particular, The Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets is a gold mine of fascinating interpretation. What's more, though Vendler draws on the work of many commentators who went before her, in the end it is Shakespeare's own meaning, and not the interpretation of modern critics, that she reads for. A nice bonus is the CD inside the back cover of the book, which contains the author's reading of 65 sonnets.

86. The Sidney Homepage - Biography Of Sir Philip Sidney Early in 1568, at the age of thirteen, Philip entered Christ Church, Oxford. Sidney also took a great interest in New World exploration at this time, http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/sidney/sidney_biography.htm

Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) by Roger Kuin Philip Sidney was born at Penshurst (Kent) at 4:45 a.m. on Friday, November 30, 1554, the eldest son of Sir Henry Sidney and Lady Mary Dudley, eldest daughter of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland and sister of Robert, Earl of Leicester and Ambrose, Earl of Warwick. His father had been a close companion of the young King Edward VI, and continued to serve his country under Queen Mary and, later, Queen Elizabeth. From 1564 until 1568 Philip, with his lifelong friend Fulke Greville, attended Shrewsbury school, under Thomas Ashton, one of the age's notable educators. While Sidney was at Shrewsbury, Sir Henry was Lord Deputy of Ireland, where his attempts to rule with visible justice were continually thwarted by the fact that one of the two bitter rival nobles in his domain, the Earl of Ormond, was also a favourite of the Queen, resident at Court, a Privy Councillor, and an ally of Leicester's (and Sidney's) enemy the Earl of Sussex. Early in 1568, at the age of thirteen, Philip entered Christ Church, Oxford. Here he stayed three years and had as contemporaries and friends Richard Hakluyt the geographer and William Camden the historian. When Sidney was seventeen his uncle, the Earl of Leicester, sent him on a tour of the Continent, to learn languages and international relations. In May 1572 he crossed to France in a special embassy to Charles IX, with Leicester's recommendation to Sir Francis Walsingham, then resident ambassador in Paris. Here he met Hubert Languet (1518-1581), a Huguenot humanist and political observer for the Elector of Saxony, whose protégé, friend and correspondent he was to become for the next nine years. He also was caught up in the St Bartholomew's Massacre, when thousands of Protestants were slaughtered.

89. Classic Reprint Shakespeare s exploration of the subject utilizes a range of figures, The elizabethans would have defined each of the metaphors slightly differently. http://www.n2hos.com/acm/artfig.html

The Art of the Figure (Excerpts) by Arthur Mortensen from The Art of the Figure, not for commercial or any other distribution without the permission of Arthur Mortensen. Of late there has been so much energy expended on the subject of meter that facets of equal or greater importance to writing verse or prose have been ignored. As one way of turning to another subject, let me opine that most writing for or against meter for the last twenty years has seemed off the mark. Meter is not quantum physics; meter and variations from it are heard (or not). As such, learning how to use it is done by listening to metrical poetry. Nothing can substitute for that. Further, meter, much as the measure in music, is not how we define poetry and its sound, but how we control expression in a way that's impossible (and even undesirable) in writing intended for the eye instead of the ear. As an aside, in music, the measure allows a composer to balance durations (phrasing, single tones, the lengths of a theme or variation, of a section at a particular tempo, etc.), whether for equalities or inequalities. Yet this doesn't force a composer to write themes or variations of a measure's length. Duration is about time in a sequence which may extend measure to measure; and, while the perception of time is subjective, notation of where its seconds fall allows us to create a sense of time's velocity (or lack of it) in a way that artless improvising never can. What follows is a compressed version of a book, still in the works, called

Home Page About the Society How to Join Terrae Incognitae ... Links DAVID BEERS QUINN Fellow of the Society for the History of Discoveries The difficulty of encapsulating David Beers Quinn’s contributions to the history of discovery and settlement has been amply demonstrated by three festshrifts* that only partially accomplished that goal. A better measure is the extent to which history has been altered by his research and publications during the past six decades. But Professor Quinn’s influence has not been limited to academe. He incorporated his documentary discoveries in books written for a wider lay readership. For example, he collaborated with others in the production of popular editions, such as W. P. Cumming and R. A. Skelton in The Discovery of North America (1971) and Cumming in The Exploration of North America (1974). He has ever been ready to insist upon accuracy and credibility in commemorations of historic events. He was a major participant in the Drake Quadricentennial in California and the Roanoke Quadricentennial in North Carolina, and for the latter, produced Set Fair for Roanoke, a distillation of four decades of intimacy with the Elizabethans. *The three festshrifts are: K.

John Dee and the Secret Societies Ron Heisler from The Hermetic Journal 1992 Man of science and magus extraordinary, and for two decades England's leading mathematician, it is only in recent years that John Dee's reputation has begun to properly recover from the obloquy attached by an age of militant rationalism to those notorious angel raising episodes in which he engaged in the 1580s. Meric Casaubon's poisonous 1659 edition of Dee's angelic diaries, which did not include all extant volumes, leaves us with little more than an impression of a rather pathetic Dee seeking to communicate with angelic spirits with frustratingly meagre results. What I am seeking to identify is the political and religious significance of these episodes and the clues they give to the secret society culture of the late Elizabethans. Dee's religious views have always been irritatingly opaque. That he was a Protestant of some sort is beyond dispute. In the time of Edward VI he associated with reformers. The curious affair in the reign of Catholic Queen Mary, when, during investigation by the Court of Requests (a committee of the Star Chamber) in 1555, he was accused of casting horoscopes of the Queen and her Spanish husband with evil intent, is ambiguous, for some of his companions in this possibly criminal venture subsequently proved lackeys of the Catholic monarchy of the most loyal kind. In any case, Dee was released, the official suspicions presumably dispelled. 1 savant Hubert Languet, written from Antwerp, where Languet was a guest of the printer, Christopher Plantin, today the best remembered of all Familists. 4 Dee's greatest patron was Queen Elizabeth, and it has been surprisingly uncommented upon that after her death she was accused of being a favourer of the sect. 5

"The Age of Discovery" Reviews in American History - Volume 26, Number 1, March 1998, pp. 26-53 The Johns Hopkins University Press Excerpt Europeans devoured news about Columbus's voyages; the Barcelona Letter went through perhaps 20 editions by 1500. Over the course of the sixteenth century, the news about the feats of the conquistadores and other Europeans who traveled to the Americas spread throughout Europe. By the end of the eighteenth century, after hundreds of thousands of Europeans had moved to colonies in the Western Hemisphere, no less an authority than Adam Smith pronounced the "discovery" of America a turning point in world history. In the 1840s, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels agreed about the significance of Columbus's discovery, seeing the event as crucial for opening "up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie." But if Columbus's achievement attracted rapt audiences at the time and was, in retrospect, a defining moment in the history of the world, the Europeanization of the Americas was not inevitable. The renaming of islands in the Caribbean did not mean that Europeans already controlled them. Similarly, information alone did not necessarily translate into a yearning to colonize the Western Hemisphere. Many Europeans were already familiar with lurid travel accounts...

History's winding ways have already decreed as much. For many, their first concept of Gothic derives from some reference to this grand structure. It matters not whether we have physically visited Notre Dame, its persona dominates the Gothic landscape. Victor Hugo's famous novel featuring the moving characterization of the hunchback, Quasimodo, has served the notoriety of the cathedral well. Yet, factual history has claimed this aged lady as a prominent figure near the center stage of its own story.

PAST EVENTS WICCA and the Religious Life of Pagan Witches in Britain Today Six Lectures with Discussion, 29 October - 3 December 2003 Christina Oakley 'WB YEATS, THE ARCH-POET' 27 November 'HEKA and NETURU': Egyptian Magic and the Gods' An Illustrated Lecture and Discussion, 11 December, 2003 Sheldon Gosline, educated at Cambridge and the University of Chicago, is an internationally known and widely published scholar on Ancient Egypt. At this talk on Egyptian Magic and Religion, he surveyed the current state of research on a range of topics, including devotional practices, the nature of 'heka', methods of spell-casting, prayer-formats and temple culture. Sheldon answered practical and research queries from the audience, many of whom are involved in devotion of an Egyptian cast, and wine and informal socialising followed. 'SONS OF TALIESIN': A Performance With John Constable and Niall McDevitt 12 December, 2003 MAKING LOOSE INCENSE A Workshop, 11 December, 2003 Allison Brice and Christina Oakley Four hundred years ago, Culpeper's Herbal gave recipes for all sorts of incenses or 'fumigatories'. Incense-making was practised by doctors, leeches, herbalists and 'cunning folk'. The stuff was used for medicinal purposes, for spells, and for making life smell more lovely. Sadly, the art has more or less died out in the modern world: the nature of medicine has changed, joss-sticks have become available for people who love scents. Treadwell's, keen to keep this mysterious art alive, held an afternoon crash course. It introduced the main gum bases (and tested them out!), then turned to essential oils, roots, barks and flower petals. It covered the four elements, seven planetary powers, the basic rules of making mixtures, medieval attributions, mixtures for magical purposes, folklore of some ingredients. A 35 percent discount was given on incense purchases that day.
