Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Society in the Elizabethan Age In the following pages I have once more tendered my mite of industry towards the tardy restoration-fund of historical research; this time in the further hope of proving that original matter is not necessarily uninteresting, but that the Romance of Society, as read in the infallible records of the past, possesses attractions greater and more lasting than a many conceptions of impossible humanity. In these Essays descriptive of social life during the second half of the 16th century, I have attempted to place before the reader some familiar names in new characters, with the aid of a mass of information, desultory I must confess, but perhaps curious, as it is certainly new. The "star" of this historical company is none other than that lord of Littlecote whose evil fame has descended to us from a barely contemporary gossip, and is now best known through the exquisitely pathetic ballad of "The Friar of Orders Grey," in Rokeby, together with Burke's version of the same legend. In these pages Wild Darrell will appear in two parts, those of the Landlord and the Courtier, while his name or fortunes will be found more or less connected with several other characters of the period. Dr. Richard Cox, Elizabeth's Bishop of Ely, will speak for the state of the Anglican Church, with Latimer as prologue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of the Reformation and Elizabethan Age: Taken From the Contemporary Pulpit I have to thank you for access to the Lambeth Library, whence a large portion of the present volume is derived, but this would be a very inadequate acknow ledgement for kindness which dates long before that fine collection had the benefit of your keeping. Your society then led me to form opinions essential I believe to a candid review of the Reformation, although sabse quent years, during which I had not that privilege, may have so modified them as to prevent me from assuming that they have at present more than a general resem blance to your own. Still it gives me pleasure to say where I first was led to converse, however distantly, with ancient piety and wisdom, to watch the designs of Providence unfolded in church history, to venerate men who sustained the light of faith and holiness in dark ages without mimicking the peculiarities of their times, and to revere the virtues and honesty of our Reformers, nor yet allow them an infallibility they denied the Pope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Common Player: A Study of Actor and Society in Shakespeare's England Part I gives the social history of the public theatres, and of the troupes who played there, including a brief attempt to relate this social development to the corresponding development of literary forms. In Part II, the same critical period is re-examined, but the focus is shifted to a study of typical individuals. Laneham is an example of the older' type of player, a musician, writer and improviser as well as an actor; Tarlton is the first great star of the English stage; Wilson, a player poet, is first of the line that includes Shakespeare; Alleyn was not only the greatest tragic actor of his time, but the first actor to achieve dignity and fortune.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eleven essays in this volume explore the complex interactions in early modern England between a technologically advanced culture of the printed book and a still powerful traditional culture of the spoken word, spectacle, and manuscript. Scholars who work on manuscript culture, the history of printing, cultural history, historical bibliography, and the institutions of early modern drama and theater have been brought together to address such topics as the social character of texts, historical changes in notions of literary authority and intellectual property, the mutual influence and tensions between the different forms of "publication," and the epistemological and social implications of various communications technologies. Although canonical literary writers such as Shakespeare, Jonson, and Rochester are discussed, the field of writing examined is a broad one, embracing political speeches, coterie manuscript poetry, popular pamphlets, parochially targeted martyrdom accounts, and news reports. Setting writers, audiences, and texts in their specific historical context, the contributors focus on a period in early modern England, from the late sixteenth through the late seventeenth century, when the shift from orality and manuscript communication to print was part of large-scale cultural change. Arthur F. Marotti's and Michael D. Bristol's introduction analyzes some of the sociocultural issues implicit in the collection and relates the essays to contemporary work in textual studies, bibliography, and publication history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England Under the Stuarts Perhaps the period during which the conditions of life under went least observable change is to be found in the years 1603 40. During this time.no great alteration took place in institu tions, in ideas or in religion, comparable to the changes of the preceding and of the following age. The English whom James came from Edinburgh to rule were the same English as those whom Pym, thirty-seven years later, took upon himself to lead; the England which, resting from the great Elizabethan labour of State construction and State defence, produced during a few brief years a literature of human life perfect in unity as in vigour, was the same England which, when presented with different problems, ew into fratricidal factions. In the long intervening years a deep change of temper had indeed taken place, due to great political events. But in society, in economics, in the religious convictions of' the people, it is difficult to name any great differences between the England of Shakespeare and the England of Pym.
