He designed the Queen's House in Greenwich and the Banqueting Hall in Whitehall, London. Encyclopedia Jones, Inigo ĭn ĭgō ) , 1573–1652, one of England's first great architects. Son of a London clothmaker, he was enabled to travel in Europe before 1603 to study paintings, perhaps at the expense of the earl of Rutland. On a second trip to Italy (1613–14) he thoroughly studied the remains of Roman architecture and the Renaissance buildings by Palladio. At the English courts of both James I and Charles I he designed settings for elaborate masques , some of which he wrote. Besides performing various architectural services for the crown, he was also sponsored by the earl of Arundel. After renewed visits to Italy, Jones became (1615) king's surveyor of the works. In 1616 he began work on the Queen's House, Greenwich, the first English design to embody Palladian principles. He then built (1619–22) the royal Banqueting House in Whitehall, London, again adapting the classical proportions and use of architectural elements he had learned in Italy. He also made designs for St. Paul's church, Covent Garden, and its square (1631–38). He built other houses in London and in the country; especially outstanding is his advisory work on Wilton House, Wiltshire (built 1649–53). Making a clean break from the prevailing Jacobean style, he achieved a magnificent coherence of design. The work of Inigo Jones marked a starting point for the classical architecture of the late Renaissance and Georgian periods in England.

Biography English architect, founder of the English school of classical architecture. He was born shortly before July 19th, 1573, the date of his baptism in the church of St. Batholomew of the Less, Smithfield, London. Jones was the son of a cloth worker also named Inigo. The name has never been satisfactorily explained. It was Latinized as Ignatius as early as 1606 but is not a recognised equivalent. Of the younger Inigo Jones' early years nothing is known, though Sir Christopher Wren is said to have stated that he was apprenticed to a joiner in St Paul's Churchyard. In 1603 he appears in the fifth earl of Rutland's household accounts as "Henygo Jones, a picturemaker," and two years later was employed by James I's queen (Anne of Denmark) to provide the costumes and settings for a masque to be performed at Whitehall. It is certain that by this time he had been to Italy and had acquired considerable skill as a draftsman and architect. In 1608 he designed the New Exchange in the Strand (demolished in 1737) for the earl of Salisbury. To the same period belongs a design for a spire in old St Paul's Cathedral. His main employment at the time however was the designing of masques for the court, and this activity continued with few intermissions till 1640. In this sphere he frequently collaborated with Ben Jonson; their association was broken after a bitter quarrel in 1631.

44. Sleeve Notes - Peerson: Latin Motets An early connection was with the playwright Ben Jonson, may relate to hisparents and another from 1573 that may record the remarriage of his mother. http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/notes/67490-N.asp

MARTIN PEERSON (C1572-1651) Latin Motets Excerpts from the sleeve notes Martin Peerson (c1572–1651) was probably born at March, Cambridgeshire, although the little that is known of his life relates to London and its immediate environs. An early connection was with the playwright Ben Jonson, for whose entertainment The Penates, Jonson’s May-Day production for the king and queen at Highgate in 1604, Peerson wrote the madrigal See, O see who is here come a-maying. Two years later Peerson, along with Jonson and others, was apparently convicted of recusancy. If Peerson had Catholic sympathies at that time they probably did not last very long, for he graduated BMus at Oxford (through Lincoln College) in 1613, for which acceptance of the Thirty-nine Articles was a requirement. In 1606, too, Peerson was a sharer in the Children of the Queen’s Revels, who played at the Blackfriars playhouse, an interest in theatrical affairs that may explain his connection with Jonson. Peerson is now known, when he is known at all, as a composer of very attractive miniatures. This is understandable, for while some little gems – such as the song Upon my lap my sovereign sits and the two keyboard genre pieces The fall of the leafe and The primerose – are easily available, his large-scale achievements, including much of his best music, are generally difficult to obtain. Survival in relatively few manuscript copies accounts for the fact that his verse-anthems, for instance, are still almost entirely unknown.

var loc = "../../"; From Smithsonian , September, 1987 The chasm between the fame and richness of the works, and the poverty of information about the author, has fueled a curious, and sometimes a perverse, controversy that has raged for more than a century. Since the mid-19th century, a hardy and vocal band of disbelievers has argued that someone other than the Stratford man created the poems and plays attributed to; or presented as, the works of William Shakespeare. To many people, and with some reason, the debaters are fair comic game. As the Shakespearean actor Ian McKellen puts it today, "Some people, intellectual snobs perhaps, like to think that the philosopher Francis Bacon wrote the plays. Then there are social snobs who like to think that the Earl of Oxford wrote the plays. And no doubt somewhere there's a keen viewer of Masterpiece Theatre who thinks that Alistair Cooke wrote the plays." Most lovers of the works, moreover, accept the incumbent candidate, or, failing that, agree with McKellen that the plays were written either by a man called Shakespeare or by a man calling himself Shakespeare. Not so, says author and scholar Charlton Ogburn. For many years a passionate and tireless proponent of the Earl of Oxford theory, Ogburn is not about to be deterred by a wisecrack. Oh, no, think those who have been down this path before, here comes another theory.

54. The Edmund Spenser Home Page: Biography After taking his BA (1573) and MA (1576), Spenser left Cambridge for Kent, wherehe acted and died there, according to Ben Jonson for lake of bread , http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/spenser/biography.htm

The Shepheardes Calender (December, 37-42) that it was his 'shepherd peres' at the Merchant Taylors' school and Mulcaster (probably the 'good olde shephearde, Wrenock ') who first encouraged him to write verse. I n May 1569, Spenser left school and matriculated as a sizar at Pembroke Hall (now Pembroke College), Cambridge, receiving a further ten shillings from the Nowell bequest to support him. Although he had to work for his meals and accommodation, and may often have been ill during his studies, this appears to have been an important and productive time for the young poet. At Pembroke, Spenser came to know the master John Young, later Bishop of Rochester, and probably met Lancelot Andrewes, the future Bishop of London and privy councillor, who had also been at the Merchant Taylors' school. The most important influence on Spenser during this period, though, was undoubtedly his intimate friendship with Gabriel Harvey, himself admitted as a Fellow of Pembroke Hall in 1570. While Spenser's relationship with Harvey was later satirized by fellow students in a play titled Pedantius , Harvey appears to have introduced Spenser to a number of important connections and potential patrons, including Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. After taking his B.A. (1573) and M.A. (1576), Spenser left Cambridge for Kent, where he acted as secretary for John Young, recently created Bishop of Rochester. It was there that the poet probably composed

Shakespeare Patronage The Shakespeare group of patrons was the Walsingham-Sidney-Pembroke-Essex literary circle. They were patrons to a group of poets and writers. Collectively they were referred to as either the Wilton or Essex circle, the latter two names being derived from the principal places where they met. Essex House was the London home of Robert Devereaux, Earl of Essex, who inherited the house from Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, the previous owner and Robert's step-father. The property occupied the site where the Outer Temple, part of the London headquarters of the Knights Templar, had previously stood , and was immediately adjacent to the Middle Temple, then one of the four principal Inns of Court. Wilton House was the country home of the Earl and Countess of Pembroke, located near Salisbury in Wiltshire. Through the extensive grounds of Wilton House flowed the Wiltshire River Avon. Penelope Devereux, Lady Rich Lord Mountjoy [m.1605 Penelope Rich] Francis and Anthony Bacon Venus and Adonis (1593) and The Rape of Lucrece (1594) were dedicated to Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which he wrote specially for the wedding of his niece, Elizabeth Cecil, when she married William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby, in January 1595. In April 1573, at the age of twelve, with the ‘new star’ blazing away in the heavens, Francis entered Trinity College, Cambridge University, accompanied by his brother Anthony. They were already learned in the Classics and could read, write and speak Latin, Greek, French, Italian and Spanish fluently. They also knew Hebrew. They were placed under the direct charge and tuition of the Master of Trinity, Dr John Whitgift, and lodged in rooms under his roof. (Whitgift afterwards became Archbishop of Canterbury, and was the authority who granted the licence to publish Venus and Adonis in 1593.) Their contemporaries and friends at Cambridge included John Lyly, William Clerke, Edmund Spenser, Philemon Holland and Gabriel Harvey—the latter being their tutor in rhetoric and poetry as well as being a member of Sir Philip Sydney’s group of philosopher-poets, the English ‘Areopagus’.

Thomas Gransow London und Westminster Texte und Materialien Banqueting House Text 40 Banqueting House: Entstehungsgeschichte The new Banqueting House was begun in June 1619, and its completion was promised by Jones for Christmas 1620, but the job ran into trouble over both materials and labour. For much, though not all, of the exterior Portland stone was specified and supplies were insufficient. To increase production and expedite delivery from the quarries in the Isle of Portland, it was arranged that the quarry- workings should be enlarged, loading facilities improved and a new pier built, but because of local difficulties there were serious delays. On the building itself the main trouble was with the craftsmen, especially masons, apparently journeymen who were less well paid. They did not strike, they merely ran away, to jobs which were better or more regularly paid. The vast ceiling (110 by 55 feet) was divided into a 'frett of Great Cornishes (cornices) inriched with carvings' of a gilded guilloche pattern, but had none of the fussy elaboration of contemporary English ceilings: it was classical Italian, indeed Venetian in conception. From i635 it framed Rubens’ nine great paintings proclaiming the blessings of the reign of James I and his subsequent apotheosis. The brick-vaulted basement was of seven bays like the main hall above. At the south end, near to the Privy Gallery, a 'Rocke or grotto where the King did regale himself privately' was made in 1623. It was decorated by one of Jones’s assistants, Isaac de Caus, and was embellished with shell-work the following year. The rest of the basement must have been used for storing the stage machinery used in the masques as well as the sets of tapestries, which were hung on screens in the hall as the particular occasion demanded.

There is no record of Nashe's schooling but in 1581 or 1582 he entered St. John's College, Cambridge, where he became a Lady Margaret scholar, receiving his B.A. in 1586. He left the University in 1588 and began publishing in 1589 with The Anatomy of Absurdity . Nashe was strongly anti-Puritan and this together with his natural combativeness drew him into the Marlprelate controversy: An Almond for a Parrot (1590) is now widely accepted as his along with a number of pseudonymous pamphlets. In his defense of Robert Greene, the first and most prolific of Elizabethan professional writers, Nashe was drawn into a prolonged and bitter literary quarrel with Gabriel Harvey.

60. Plays As Biography Ben Jonson So Test Him I Vow He Is De Vere , Thomas Thorpe These In May1573, Lord Burghley received a complaint from two of Oxford s former http://www.dlroper.shakespearians.com/plays_as_biography.htm

THE PLAYS AND THEIR BIOGRAPHICAL DETAIL The evidence submitted at university level to support William Shakespeare as the poet and playwright from Stratford upon Avon can no longer be considered entirely reliable. Such evidence invariably takes the form of contemporary written references linking the name William Shakespeare to plays that he reputedly wrote. In normal circumstances this evidence would be considered valid, since similar procedures of examination and acceptance have been, and still are, adopted by historians throughout the world. But it is also a procedure that has one very important failing. If the ruling body of a particular age has engaged in the promotion of an Open Secret ; something known only to an elite few and never set down in writing, then historians of a later era will find themselves in the same position as the great majority of people belonging to that former time, whose status in society excluded them from the 'Secret'. It is only to be expected, therefore, that subsequent historical research will result in the same false conclusions being reached as those intended for the people of that time. For, it follows that all relevant public documents belonging to that age will have been written either by persons who were ignorant of the Open Secret , and therefore wrote what they believed to be true, or by those endorsing it. And since contemporary written references to William Shakespeare all fall into that category, they can no longer be considered as a reliable guide to the truth. Even references which might be called private offer no reprieve. Once a 'public lie' has been set in motion, it quickly becomes autonomous and assumes a life of its own, taking sustenance from the frequent repetition with which it is uttered. Since private memoranda are apt to reflect the vocabulary of the age in which they were written, there is no reason to suppose that any verbal exceptions to the norm are likely to occur within their content.
