Textual Patronage in English Drama 1570-1640

Through an investigation of the dedications and addresses from various printed plays of the English Renaissance the author recuperates the richness of these prefaces and connects them to the practice of patronage. The prefatory matter discussed ranges from the printer John Day's address to readers (the first of its kind) in the 1570 edition of Gorboduc to Richard Brome's dedication to William Seymour and address to readers in his 1640 play Antipodes. The study includes discussion of prefaces in plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries as well as Shakespeare himself among them Marston Jonson and Heywood. The author uses these prefaces to show that English playwrights printers and publishers looked in two directions toward aristocrats and toward a reading public in order to secure status for and dissemination of dramatic texts. The author points out that dedications and addresses to readers constitute obvious signs that printers publishers and playwrights in the period increasingly saw these dramatic texts as occupying a rightful place in the humanistic and commercial endeavor of book production. | Textual Patronage in English Drama 1570-1640

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly improved since his response has become the most revived black play in Britain from its original production at the Royal Court in 1958 to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port of Spain Trinidad in the mid-1940s showing how each of the characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move to the England in the post-war era. For some of them these dreams of a new life became a reality but they were experienced differently across genders and generations. | Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

In analyzing the nonfiction works of writers such as John Wilson J. S. Mill De Quincy Ruskin Arnold Pater and Wilde Jason Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century critic's changing ideas about style rhetoric and technologies of communication. In particular Camlot contributes to our understanding of how new print media affected the Romantic and Victorian critic's sense of self as he elaborates the ways nineteenth-century critics used their own essays on rhetoric and stylistics to speculate about the changing conditions for the production and reception of ideas and the formulation of authorial character. Camlot argues that the early 1830s mark the moment when a previously coherent tradition of pragmatic rhetoric was fragmented and redistributed into the diverse localized sites of an emerging periodicals market. Publishing venues for writers multiplied at midcentury establishing a new stylistic norm for criticism-one that affirmed style as the manifestation of English discipline and objectivity. The figure of the professional critic soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual and the later decades of the nineteenth century brought about a debate on aesthetics and criticism that set ideals of Saxon-rooted 'virile' style against more culturally inclusive theories of expression. | Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms
