Constructions of tense, aspect, and mood inform Macbeth's attempts to articulate the pressures of time and mutability, stretching the grammatical categories allowed by the English language. These irregular extensions of past, present, and future linguistically correlate with the political crises and ruptures in the play. Following an examination of the influential Lily's Grammar, I show how the semantic matrix of tense, aspect, and mood expresses the warped sense of time constituting Macbeth's psychology as well as dissolution of moral order.","PeriodicalId":428479,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers Élisabéthains","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128268196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film fosters Orientalist sensibilities via a fetishisation of ‘otherness’, in order to subvert it. It is a hybrid and ambivalent production in which the characters possess intersectional identities that are always multiple, in line with Hindu philosophy. This hybridity can also be observed in the mixture of traditions on which the film is based, and as such, it serves as a ‘rhizomatic interrelation’. The film shows how Shakespeare's play may provide a meditation on the Indian nation, where issue ssuch as transgressive romance, ostracisation, and gender roles remain unsettled.","PeriodicalId":428479,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers Élisabéthains","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130456169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For many years, the standard explanation for the discrepancy was that Contention and True Tragedie were untrustworthy texts contaminated by memorial reconstruction. In this essay, I will argue that each needs to be treated in its own terms as an internally consistent play; that anomalies in the text of Contention and True Tragedie are not convincing evidence of memorial reconstruction; and that significant differences in the alternative versions can best be explained as revision and expansion, rather than as abridgement.","PeriodicalId":428479,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers Élisabéthains","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132743428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Special attention is paid to the way the personality of male types develops through the narrative, describing it by means of the medical vocabulary of melancholy. A comparative analysis of Munday's translations and their Spanish and French sources (published in 1511 and 1550, respectively) is carried out, thus offering a wider view of the discourse on melancholy in different European countries and at different stages during the sixteenth century.","PeriodicalId":428479,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers Élisabéthains","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129585351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Book review: John Heywood: Comedy and Survival in Tudor England by Greg Walker","authors":"Jean-Paul Débax","doi":"10.1177/01847678231163227","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/01847678231163227","url":null,"abstract":"In this first, in-depth biography of John Heywood, Tudor poet, playwright and royal servant under Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I, Greg Walker approaches his subject from a well-established expertise in Tudor politics and Tudor literature, more especially drama. This twofold interest continues to evidence Walker’s critical sensitivities which reach back to his Plays of Persuasion, published in 1991, with intermediary landmarks such asWriting under Tyranny (2005) and The Oxford Anthology of Tudor Drama (2014). Walker’s dual approach is admirably suited to this biography, demonstrating how under the Tudors, court plays were political plays, not merely because they dealt with politics, but because they were themselves political acts. This was a period when drama mattered. These demonstrations are well worth underlining, as court or élite drama tends to be understood as light, or frivolous entertainment. Things are in fact different; the predominance of pedagogy and the use of rhetoric, inherited from medieval and humanist culture, provide keys to understand Walker’s subtitle, ‘Comedy and survival in Tudor England’. What Walker suggests by the use of that subtitle is the central part played by politics in Tudor times, a point too often ignored in literary studies. He underlines the contradiction between the medieval tradition and what he calls the ‘Erasmian spirit’ current in the ‘More-Rastell circle’, to which Heywood belonged, as a kinsman of Sir Thomas More without being an overt militant of the Catholic cause. Walker subtly and convincingly shows how the Erasmian balance was, with the passing of time and the inexorable progress of Reformation ideas and institutions, less and less tenable with the passing of years, as life became less and less bearable for a man of his ‘extreme age’ (Heywood died in 1580, aged 83). The volume’s 18 chapters follow Heywood’s life and works from his early years to his exile and death. The social, cultural, political, and religious context is carefully traced. For instance, chapter 6, ‘Complaining about the weather’, discusses Heywood’s writings against the role of Sir Thomas More and the opening of the Reformation Parliament. Chapter 10, ‘Discord, dissent and division’, covers the 1534–43 decade, leading up to Heywood’s condemnation for treason, discussed Book reviews","PeriodicalId":428479,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers Élisabéthains","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129713445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 1628, John Felton, a veteran of that same expedition, killed Buckingham with a dagger.

It considers three of Buckingham's political self-fashioning objects: his armour in the Mytens portrait, a dagger and a coranto of news. These are contrasted with their reception in Thomas Heywood's tragicomedy The Royal King and the Loyal Subject, diplomatic relations, and libels.","PeriodicalId":428479,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers Élisabéthains","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124166569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
