The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 14.1098 Thursday, 5 June 2003 From: Geralyn Horton <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Wednesday, 4 Jun 2003 23:21:09 -0400 Subject: 14.1086 Britannia Rules Comment: Re: SHK 14.1086 Britannia Rules My husband presented me with a signed copy of the book after we attended an S/F discussion of Alternative History where Turtledove was a panelist. I didn't find it wildly improbable, as I have some other efforts to use WS as a character in a novel, and I enjoyed the way the author put comic character bits and colorful "Shakespearean" phrases where WS can pick them up for later -- unnovelized--use. But the verse attributed to WS and extravagantly admired by Lope de Vega and other knowledgeable sorts rings false to me, and the betrayals and dangers of the plot don't seem to resonate. When I put the book down I have no immediate urge to pick it up again. I will finish it, but when.......?? _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 14.1096 Thursday, 5 June 2003 From: Brian Willis <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Wednesday, 4 Jun 2003 10:06:31 -0700 (PDT) Subject: 14.1079 Re: Actors v Scholars Comment: Re: SHK 14.1079 Re: Actors v Scholars We can't forget that many of Shakespeare's contemporaries were both scholars and actors. Those with university education had studied their sources to such an extent that that knowledge pervaded their writing and surely their performances. It's no mistake that when Ben Jonson printed his folio, he wanted to ensure that his readers understood his status as a poet, i.e. his scholarly comprehension of his allusions and references. In a sense, these were scholars who chose to perform and write. Shakespeare may not have had an overwhelming desire to publish, but it can truly be said for some of these playwrights who were also poets, and especially of Shakespeare during the plague years, that they had to publish or perish. They were rewarded for references to a more advanced scholarly public, those who had the money and the opportunity to become literate.
