Drawing on the new formalist theory of Caroline Levine, the essay defines Jonson's epigrams as short poems that transform collisions, turning the rhythms and motions of social forms into whole and still literary forms. Jonson's epigrams are – despite his demurrals – narratives, telling stories of how figures of shame or praise were instituted out of conflict. Movements of social forms are transformed into poetic and whole forms. The critical heritage on the epigrams can be mapped in terms of an emphasis upon movement or stillness, and the essay proceeds through a range of poems in order to see how movement produces stillness; process and structure, or motion and space, become co-constitutive of the poems. Reading several satiric epigrams and several epigrams of praise, the essay attempts to shift understanding of the epigrams from thinking about people and social relations as they are toward thinking about people and social relations as they become. Jonson's translation of Horace's The Art of Poetry stakes out poetry's purpose: “Things sacred from profane to separate; / The public from the private,” and this essay explores how that process works in Jonson's epigrams.","PeriodicalId":40862,"journal":{"name":"Ben Jonson Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81693128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Presented literally and metaphorically, dance as the subject of Antinous' rhetoric repels Penelope, while the image of dance that appears in Love's mirror enraptures her so strongly that she esteems the weaving and unweaving of bodies above her own weaving and unweaving of thread. This activity of chaste waiting is attended to also in metaphorical terms, as it provides a parallel with the ongoing weaving and simultaneous unweaving of Antinous' argument that Penelope should dance with him. The conclusion reached is that the verbal rhetoric of Antinous, while theoretically sound in its rhetorical characteristics and presentation, fails to sway Penelope. Ultimately, it is dance that proves the successful rhetor, as it performs eloquently and persuasively to move Penelope's mind toward accepting dance as a virtuous and noble activity, indeed moves her to be “rapt with sweet pleasure” at the sight of its measured oration. Framed in a delineation of the shared qualities of rhetoric and dance, this argument relies upon classical and Renaissance rhetoric and dance treatises, as well as the work of modern rhetoric, dance, and literature scholars.","PeriodicalId":40862,"journal":{"name":"Ben Jonson Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90877594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shakespeare creates this conversation by echoing Southwell's published work. By the first staging of A Midsummer Night's Dream, around 1595 or 1596, Southwell had endured a martyr's death; but that didn't stop Shakespeare from responding to the prescriptions laid down by Southwell about the proper way for Christian poets to write. His prefatory letter and introductory poem to the posthumous volume St. Peters Complaint make clear that Christian poets whose poems are not overtly devotional are squandering their talent. He remonstrates with such poets – one in particular, whom Southwell addresses as his “belov'd cousen” – to chasten themselves and to write poetry more in the vein of the reverent and improving verses included in Southwell's own volume. Through the character of Theseus, especially, and in the structure of the play, more generally, Shakespeare replies to Southwell. Shakespeare doesn't simply reject Southwell, but rather evokes an understanding of piety and poetry consistent with the pre-Reformation, late medieval Church. This understanding is one that allows room for juxtaposing the sacred and the profane as opposed to championing one at the expense of the other.","PeriodicalId":40862,"journal":{"name":"Ben Jonson Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87961176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clayton","doi":"10.3366/bjj.2018.0225","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3366/bjj.2018.0225","url":null,"abstract":"Four Hamlets and Hamlets have evolved from recent text-editorial practice, corresponding with, respectively, Q1 1603, Q2 1604–05, F 1623, and the composite received text combining Q2 and F. Q2 is the fullest and most authoritative text, F is a slightly shorter, cut revision containing passages omitted in Q2. At present, Q1—half the length of Q2—is either young Shakespeare's first version or, more likely, a later derivative of F1's ancestor (c. 1601–03). Although the most recent editors (of Arden 3 and the New Oxford Shakespeare) favor individual editions of Q1, Q2, and F, there remains much to be said for the received composite text that intercuts longer passages omitted in Q2 and F as a reader's text of the whole literary Hamlet. This Hamlet benefits from full dialogue by and about the Prince, including his important speeches cut in F and in most productions, 1.4.17–38 (notably “So oft it chances”), and his last soliloquy, 4.4.32–66 (“How all occasions do inform against me”). The whole Hamlet is a salutary corrective to the post-Romantic Hamlet-as-Coleridge and Olivier's voice-overed “man who could not make up his mind.” Not mad, he feigns well in prose that serves as easily in genial conversation with those of lower social station—guards, players, gravediggers—and like much else shows him something of a mensh. Hamlet was every inch a king-in-waiting (not much longer: “This is I, Hamlet the Dane”), and he dies, politically responsible, casting his vote for Fortinbras. In the perspective of our own time, “His greatest operational weapon is his humanity.”","PeriodicalId":40862,"journal":{"name":"Ben Jonson Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76956100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
