Edwards, Jess. "Review of Rhonda Lemke Sanford. Maps and Memory in Early Modern England: A Sense of Place ." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/09-1/edwarev.html
  • "The historian of cartography," writes Christian Jacob, can consider maps in isolation, as self-defined artefacts to be classified and analysed. Or an attempt can be made to understand maps within the culture that produced and used them, so long as such a contextual approach does not lose sight of the map itself.
    The cultural context of a map might be compared to a pattern of concentric circles surrounding the map. We can move from the inner circle of map making to the remote circles of economic, social, political, intellectual and artistic context. (193) In Maps and Memory Rhonda Lemke Sanford makes a fresh incursion into a field which has been defined over the last decade by the work of Richard Helgerson, John Gillies, Tom Conley, Andrew McRae, Garrett Sullivan, and most recently Bernhard Klein. Where specialist map historians have focussed traditionally on the inner circle referred to by Jacob above, these cultural historians have moved towards the outer circles, placing early modern cartography and its associated practices within a wider, and often principally literary, context.

    making of a literature in English is the story of an English Bible, of humanist works which attempted to improve society through perfection of the individual, and of a poetic tradition which began most clearly with the sonnet What is a Sonnet? A sonnet is a poem of fourteen iambic pentameter lines. It follows one of several set rhyme schemes. The two basic types are
    • the Italian or Petrarchan : generally an octave + a sestet (abbaabba + cdecde, cdcdcd or cdedce). The octave presents a narrative, rasises a question or states a proposition to which the sestet then responds. the English or Shakespearean : uses four divisions: three quatrains + rhymed couplet for a conclusion. The quatrains can have different rhyme schemes, but the typical pattern is abab cdcd efef gg.
    But there is a third type:
    • the Spenserian : quite rare, this style complicates the Shakespearean form by linking rhymes in the quatrains: abab bcbc cdcd ee.

    A brief history of the puppet theatre The following is a (very) brief history of puppetry. It concentrates mainly on the English puppet traditions before the arrival of Punch, as this is the type of puppetry that we perform. It is by no means a comprehensive study as this would easily fill a whole book in itself. I have tried to cover the subject as chronologically as possible but there are many elements to the subject that tend to run into and overlap each other (it got a but unruly in the middle). I would like to have included something on shadow puppetry, puppetry more further afield than Europe, and certainly something on the religious puppet shows, especially on the ressurection plays of Whitney, but a far more comprehensive coverage of this whole subject can be found in the many books on the subject (some of which may be found on our links page). I hope that this short history will be of some help to its readers. -George Bernard Shaw As soon as a child occupies itself with a doll and acts out its own little scenarios, it is poetically and dramatically portraying that scene. The child puts itself in the place of the doll and is both the artist and audience at the same time. Herein lies the basis of all theatre and the puppet show in particular and is in itself a prime example of the universal originality of imagination. One could argue that the invention of the stocking or crude bag was at the same time the genesis of glove puppets, for as any parent will tell you, socks make very handy distractions when used as a glove puppet.

After the Norman Conquest when William the Conqueror made the great survey known as Domesday Book in 1086. Clifton is mentioned as having "a priest and a church." At that time the property belonged to King William's son, William Peverel, and there is an old parchment stating that Sir Alvered de Clifton was Guardian of Nottingham Castle under him. In King Henry II.'s reign (1154-1180) the estate is mentioned as belonging to the King: but when King John began to reign in 1199 it had come into the possession of a very great and powerful family called de Rodes. Before the end of King Henry III.'s reign in 1272 Sir Gerard de Rodes, Lord Melles, had sold the Manors of Clifton and Wilford and the services of the people at Barton to Sir Gervase de Clifton, whose family had held the land both at Wilford and Clifton since William the Conqueror's reign (1066-1087); this sale was confirmed by Edward I. in 1281, and the property has been in the uninterrupted possession of the Clifton family and its direct descendants ever since, a period well over 600 years.

    A SHORT LIFE OF EDWARD DE VERE, 17th Earl of Oxford He was born in 1550 at Castle Hedingham, his family's ancestral home. His father, John de Vere, 16th Earl, was Lord Great Chamberlain at the coronations of both Mary and Elizabeth Tudor. His mother was Margaret Golding. Edward was 10 when, in 1561, Queen Elizabeth visited Hedingham for four days of masques, feasting and entertainments. When his father died in 1562, young Oxford, left to become, like Bertram in All'sWell , a ward of the Crown under the tutelage of William Cecil, the Queen's private secretary, (later Lord Burghley, Lord Treasurer). His mother married Charles Tyrrell and seems to have passed out of the boy's life. His sister Mary went to live with her stepfather and they were not reunited for some years. Metamorphoses, published in 1567. A book widely recognised as having a major influence on "Shakespeare". In 1570 he served in a military campaign in Scotland under the Earl of Sussex. By 1571, he was reported as a leading luminary of the Court and for a time, a favourite of Queen Elizabeth. In December 1571 he married Anne Cecil, aged 15, daughter of his guardian. This was a dynastic marriage where all the advantage accrued to Cecil, who was ennobled as Baron Burghley to reduce the social gap between himself and the young Earl. While Oxford was away on a Grand Tour of Europe, he heard that his daughter Elizabeth Vere had been born in July 1575. On his return in early 1576 he appeared to have been convinced that Elizabeth was not his child; consequently he became estranged from Anne for five years, and exiled himself from Court, taking up residence in the Savoy and concerning himself with literary and musical patronage.

    This six-credit course is devoted to British authors who wrote during the age of Shakespeare. The texts range from “high” literature (such as Ben Jonson's The Masque of Beauty ) to “low” literature (such as Thomas Decker's The Shoemakers' Holiday ); the texts encompass all genres, from plays, to prose, to poetry. A significant portion of our class time will be spent working closely with photographic facsimiles of primary texts in order to become familiar with the language and print culture of early modern England. The rest of our class time will be spent discussing the literary and/or cultural aspects of specific texts. Class discussion is central to this course. Course Work:

As children they were inseparable companions, and when Alexander came to Court he brought his sister with him. The arrival of the two young people so wondrously alike in their striking physical beauty created something of a mild sensation at the Palace of Whitehall, famous as it was for the excellence of its gallants and the radiance of its ladies. Margaret was immediately claimed by the Queen Elizabeth to adorn the privy chamber as a Maid of Honour. The girl's ready wit and shrewd judgment allied to her exquisite grace commanded her strongly to her royal mistress, an aging woman nearing her sixtieth year and seeing perhaps in the accomplished and vivacious maid a reincarnation of the splendour of her own lost youth. Margaret was elevated above all other ladies of the Court as the Queen 's prime favourite, and all who would sue for

    Warriors and Priests
    Before the birth of Christ, Britain had been known to only a few ancient Greek writers as a dim, remote, and mysterious region. It was only after the time of Julius Caesar (44 B.C.) that the classical worlds of Greece and Rome received direct knowledge about these misty isles. The Roman Emperor Claudius established Roman rule there in 43 A.D.. Over the next four centuries, as the Roman Empire began to crumble, Rome gradually withdrew from this distant land.
    For almost 500 years, the British Isles had been a battlefield for the Celts, many Germanic tribes, the Romans, and the Vikings, but by 650 A.D. the Anglo-Saxons had England firmly in their grasp. After these centuries of fighting, the warrior-kings were the undisputed masters of their individual worlds, but things were changing. Christianity was slowly seeping into the fabric of "pagan" Briton.
    The Roman popes sent priests, like St. Patrick and St. Augustine, to convert these violent and aggressive peoples to a kinder and gentler way of life and to establish the status of the Church above even that of a king. This wasn’t easy, but the priests and the warriors managed to maintain a shaky balance of power into the Middle Ages.
    Brave New World
    The 16th century was a time of great events in politics and religion which helped to power a Renaissance in English literature producing some of the greatest of the English writers. Even though they lived almost four hundred years ago, their ideas of human love and their spiritual convictions sound much like ours. Here are a few excerpts, scraps from their collective tables:

    Aung San Aung San February 13 July 19 , 1947) was a Burmese revolutionary, nationalist, general, and politician. Aung San was born in the town of Natmauk, in the district of Magwe, in central Burma. His family was already known in the resistance movement, having fought the British annexation in 1886. At the time, Burma was still part of British India . He was educated at Rangoon University , and was soon elected to the executive committee of the university student union. He then became editor of their magazine. In February , 1936, he was expelled from the university, along with a colleague, for refusing to reveal the name of the author who wrote an article entitled "Hell Hound At Large" directed at a senior University official. This led to a university strike, and the university subsequently retracted their expulsion orders. In 1938, Aung San was elected president of both the Rangoon University Student Union and the All-Burma Students Union. In the same year, the government appointed him as a student representative on the Rangoon University Act Amendment Committee. In October 1938, Aung San moved from student politics to nationalist politics. At this point, he was quite anti-British. He joined the Dohbama Asi-ayone organization (which translates as "We-Burmese"), and acted as their general secretary until

    THE ENGLISH LUTE REPERTORY ... we doubt not of that truth, that will help us to believe that the lute is fit to assuage the passions ... This heavenly harmony, rising unto the brain as an intellectual dew, does moisten gently the heat and dryness of it and if there be too much moisture and terrestrial vapours it dissipates and dries them by the melodious activity that produces a subtle fire[.] ... it followeth that this harmony set aright the faculties of the soul and perfect them. If the heart be closed it openeth it and if it be too much opened, it gently shutteth it to embrace and keep in the sweetness that the lute inspires into its sensible concavities. ... This harmony softens stony hearts and banishes the cruelty from it to give room to compassion[;] it turneth out hatred to lodge in love.

The repertory in Italian tablature is the one that has fewest overlaps with the French repertory and the tablatures themselves have little in common beyond their six-line system. Since German tablature was becoming more and more unwieldy, most Germanic lute publications and manuscripts from the end of the sixteenth century on used French tablature: it also broadened the market to include most of Europe.

      Jones, Inigo
      Encyclopedia Article Multimedia 2 items Jones, Inigo (1573-1652), English architect, who introduced to Britain the classical architecture of the late Italian Renaissance . Much of his work was based on that of Andrea Palladio , from whom he learnt a classical sense of proportion and the controlled use of detail, and after the brief flowering of English Baroque, Jones’s work was of central importance to the establishment of Palladianism, which became the natural style of English architecture from the first decades of the 18th century into the 1820s. Jones was born in London on July 15, 1573, the son of a cloth-maker. Sometime between 1600 and 1603, he is known to have visited Italy while on a tour of Europe, when he also worked at the Danish court. By 1605 he had returned to England, where, in deference to the knowledge that he had acquired abroad, he was termed “the Great Traveller”. The same year, he began work as a theatrical designer at the court of James I Between 1605 and 1640 he planned over 50 court masques , or theatrical entertainments, often in collaboration with Ben Jonson . Jonson wrote the verse, and Jones was responsible for all other aspects, including costume and set design. Over 450 drawings in Jones’s hand, ranging from working sketches to small masterpieces of Renaissance draughtsmanship, survive at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire.

    Myers Literary Guide Centre for Northern Studies THOMAS SUTTON (1532 - 1611) Originally from Lincoln, Sutton travelled abroad before serving with the garrison at Berwick in 1569. He was active in suppressing the rising of the Northern Earls in 1570 and was appointed master and surveyor of the ordnance in the northern parts of the realm. He took part in the siege of Edinburgh Castle in 1573. John Aubrey in his celebrated Brief Lives calls him 'a lusty, healthy, handsome fellowe' and states that he made a great deal of money through the will of an 'ancient' brewer, with whose young wife he had a liaison. He also made vast sums through the ownership of coalmines in Durham and, later, having settled in London in 1580, his marriage in 1582 to Elizabeth Dudley. He was 'much upon mortgages' as Aubrey says, and was estimated the richest commoner in England, the equivalent of a multi-millionaire. He was generous to charity and founded the Charterhouse school and hospital in 1611, where he was buried. Sutton encouraged several people to cherish hopes of being his heir, and this, coupled with his great wealth made him the model for Ben Jonson's famous play
