22. Talk:Masque - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia It is important to know a little about Ben Jonson, as the writer of The Masqueof Blackness, He was born to a cloth maker in 1573 (Royal Institute). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Masque

Talk:Masque From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. edit Clean Up This page as it stands has a lot of useful information, but is confusingly written, and doesn't really explore the development of the masque. I also think that it needs some examples of masques cited; although the lengthy diatrible below is clearly too much. edit Masque of Blackness I have removed this huge interpolation from the page: Masque of Blackness this might be suitable as its own entry, i have submitted it before and no one has been willing to edit. i still believe it should stay in. It is important for people today to know what a Masque was and what it became because it is an art form that we are not used to seeing these days. “The Masque was similar in all important respects to the Italian intermezzo, being an allegorical story designed to honor a particular person or occasion through fanciful comparison with mythological characters or situations (Brockett 191).” Brockett explains the most important roles were the courtier-dancers, who were members of the nobility, but they were not given speaking roles, all the speaking roles went to professional actors (191). One important distinction between the Masque and the dancing was that the celebrating, also known as the revels, was comprised of the courtiers’ dancing and singing, whereas the Masque was the actual story presented. In looking at the people most closely involved in the Masque, the resulting partnerships, the Masque itself, the politics behind the production, and the subsequent changes to the literary and technical aspects of theatre, it is clear that Ben Jonson’s The Masque of Blackness is very important to theatre history.

The Real Sir Edward Dyer The Facts of His Life versus the Fiction of Alden Brooks First published in The Shakespeare Fellowship News-Letter , August 1943. O what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive! Sir Walter Scott In the April NEWS-LETTER I pointed out some glaring instances of historical misinformation in Alden Brooks' recent book, Will Shakspere and the Dyer's Hand , wherein an attempt is made to present Sir Edward Dyer (1543-1607) as author or "Great Reviser" of the Shakespearean plays and poems. My comments were meant chiefly to correct the absurdly false picture of the poet-dramatist Earl of Oxford that Mr. Brooks includes in his album of Elizabethan distortions. From these sources it can be shown that Alden Brooks misrepresents many of the vital circumstances of Dyer's own career quite as freely as he re-writes contemporary accounts of Lord Oxford's activities. Such treatment of historical material may be tolerated in novels and in the never-never zone of cinema invention, but it certainly has no place at all in an alleged serious study of the Shakespeare authorship question.

William Shakespeare was only one among many distinguished dramatists and poets, whose ranks included Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson and John Donne. In this extract from a contribution to The Cambridge Companion to English Literature 1500-1600 (available through Fathom), Colin Burrow, senior lecturer in English at the University of Cambridge, considers some of the reasons why writing flourished here as never before and why writers themselves began to emerge as public figures to be acknowledged and celebrated. he most extraordinary literary phenomenon of the century was the sudden burst of literary activity in the 1580s and 1590s, when Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson and Donne were all at work within a few miles of each other. There is inevitably a shortfall between any quasi-causal "explanation" of this kind of miracle and the phenomenon itself. But those writers were the beneficiaries of many things: an expansion of grammar schools had produced an increasingly eloquent, classically learned body of men from relatively humble backgrounds for whom public offices (as secretaries to noblemen or as minor civil servants) were in critically short supply. For men who could not get any other job which would enable them to make use of their training in eloquence, writing provided an opportunity to use their eloquence in a public forum.

CHAPTER XXVI. THE FANTASTIC SCHOOL OF ENGLISH POETRY. By A. CLAYTON-BEOCK, B.A., New College, Oxford. Elizabethan poetry and the Fantastic School . 760 Contrast between the Elizabethan and the Fantastic Poets .761 Donne's passion for argument .762 The wit of the Fantastic Poets .763 ... Marvell and Dryden . 775 CHAPTER XXVI. THE FANTASTIC SCHOOL OF ENGLISH POETRY. But, just as the political conflicts of that age produced characters of a beauty and temper not to be found in less exacting times, so the Fantastic Poets in their conflicts of thought produced beauties, " things extreme and scattering bright," to quote the words of Donne, which cannot be paralleled in any other period of our literature. The Elizabethan lyric poet wrote to express, not something that occurred to himself alone, but something old and universal such as any lover could sing to his mistress without incongruity, and his whole poetic energy was spent upon saying these old things better than they had ever been said before. Hence the extraordinary verbal beauty and the high level of execution, even in minor poets of the Elizabethan age. It is clear, however, that Donne was tired of this verbal beauty. Though he was anything but a Puritan himself, there was something Puritanic in his view of his art. He despised poetry which took the line of least resistance, as the Puritans despised men who lived easily. He thought it the duty of a poet to wrestle with all difficulties of thought, and he did not care if he lost all graces of manner in the process.

36. Reflections: The Greatness Of Cornelius Drible By Robert Silverberg It did lead me to a 1621 play by Ben Jonson, News from the New World Discovered in Volume III, a couple of paragraphs on Cornelius Drebbel (15731633), http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0508/ref.shtml

Stories from Asimov's have won 41 Hugos and 24 Nebula Awards, and our editors have received 18 Hugo Awards for Best Editor. Asimov's was also the 2001 recipient of the Locus Award for Best Magazine. Current issue also available in various electronic formats at Reflections: The Greatness of the Cornelius Drible by Robert Silverberg The Anatomy of Melancholy One does not sit down and read Anatomy of Melancholy straight through, end to end, any more than one would sit down and eat five pounds of foie gras or a bucketful of beluga caviar. It is too rich, too extreme, for that sort of gluttony. I worked at it at a pace of four or five pages a day, sometimes not even that much; and since my copy runs to 984 pages, you can see how it came to pass that a project that I commenced in the autumn of 2002 was not completed until late in 2004. An extraordinary journey it was, too, and I propose to share some of its gleanings with you here. Burton was a British scholar, born during the reign of Elizabeth the First, who spent most of his life as a cloistered and celibate bookworm at Christ Church College, Oxford. During those years he seems to have done nothing but study, with special emphasis on mathematics, religion, astrology, magic, medicine, religion, and classical literature. His sole creative endeavor was a play in Latin, Philosophaster

The case for Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford as "Shakespeare" A comparison of Edward de Vere with "William Shakespeare" 1) Introduction to the Shakespeare Authorship Problem In the following pages, the Shakespeare Oxford Society argues two related propositions: 1) It is highly unlikely that Shakespeare's works could have been composed by the person to whom they are traditionally assigned. 2) The qualifications necessary for the true author of these works are more adequately realized in the person of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, than in the many other candidates proposed in the last two hundred years. Stratfordian scholars, in rebutting our first proposition, rely on three basic points:
