Extractions: Man of science and magus extraordinary, and for two decades England's leading mathematician, it is only in recent years that John Dee's reputation has begun to properly recover from the obloquy attached by an age of militant rationalism to those notorious angel raising episodes in which he engaged in the 1580s. Meric Casaubon's poisonous 1659 edition of Dee's angelic diaries, which did not include all extant volumes, leaves us with little more than an impression of a rather pathetic Dee seeking to communicate with angelic spirits with frustratingly meagre results. What I am seeking to identify is the political and religious significance of these episodes and the clues they give to the secret society culture of the late Elizabethans. Dee's religious views have always been irritatingly opaque. That he was a Protestant of some sort is beyond dispute. In the time of Edward VI he associated with reformers. The curious affair in the reign of Catholic Queen Mary, when, during investigation by the Court of Requests (a committee of the Star Chamber) in 1555, he was accused of casting horoscopes of the Queen and her Spanish husband with evil intent, is ambiguous, for some of his companions in this possibly criminal venture subsequently proved lackeys of the Catholic monarchy of the most loyal kind. In any case, Dee was released, the official suspicions presumably dispelled. 1 savant Hubert Languet, written from Antwerp, where Languet was a guest of the printer, Christopher Plantin, today the best remembered of all Familists. 4 Dee's greatest patron was Queen Elizabeth, and it has been surprisingly uncommented upon that after her death she was accused of being a favourer of the sect. 5

Extractions: Elizabeth , directed by Shekhar Kapur, written by Michael Hirst 3 December 1998 The story of Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603) is a remarkable one. Here is a woman not merely surviving in a cruel and treacherous age, but leaving her mark on one of the most extraordinary periods in English and modern world history. While the social struggle is the driving force of historical development, human beings are not thereby turned into ciphers, passive and anonymous "expressions" of class interests. What individuals do at critical moments has consequences. So Elizabeth intrigues us. It is natural that artists, as well as historians, should desire to explore her motives, her interests, her feelings. And there is the more general fascination with the English Renaissance and its exceptional array of personalities: Elizabeth's longtime adviser William Cecil (later Lord Burghley), the philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon, the adventurer and poet Walter Raleigh, the admiral and explorer Francis Drake, the poet, courtier, soldier and statesman Philip Sidney, the dramatist and poet Ben Jonson, the dramatist and poet Christopher Marlowe, and countless othersscientists, mathematicians, composers. And, above all, in the latter part of Elizabeth's reign, William Shakespeare. Each exploration of this age is at least in part an attempt to come to terms with, if not offer an explanation for, Shakespeare's personality and genius.

Vincent Van Gogh The son of a preacher, Van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 on the Belgium-Holland border [Groot-Zundert]; at 11am in the chart I have [source: 'The Book of the Zodiac' c.1972]. He has 22 deg Cancer on the ascendant, which is a degree common amongst artists [Salvador Dali also has it; Leonardo had Uranus in the same degree]. He also has 4 planets in fire and 3 in earth signs, depicting the active and practical 'fire-earth type' so common amongst artists. He has 5 planets in mutable signs depicting a desire to blend in and adapt to his surroundings rather than to dominate them. The 1850s movement of Saturn, Uranus and Pluto through Taurus is of great interest. Taurus being regarded as the main sign of art, it shows new revolutionary skills and ideas in art; and a new tradition [Uranus] being established to embellish the old [Saturn]. The revolution referred to was probably Impressionism:

Extractions: Racial attitudes in America have their origins in the culture of Eliza-bethan England, for it was in the closing decades of the sixteenth century that the English people, who were on the verge of creating an overseas em-pire in North America and the Caribbean, began to come into frequent contact with peoples whose culture, religion, and color was markedly dif-ferent from their own. In the early responses of Englishmen to Indians and Africans lay the seeds of what would become, four centuries later, one of the most agonizing social problems in American historythe problem of racial prejudice. Englishmen did not arrive at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607, or at Ply-mouth, Massachusetts, in 1620, with minds barren of images and precon-ceptions of the native occupiers of the land. A mass of reports and stories concerning the Indians of the New World, many of them based upon the Spanish and Portuguese experience in Mexico, Peru, and Brazil, were avail-able in printed form or by word of mouth for curious Englishmen crossing the Atlantic. From this literature ideas and fantasies concerning the Indians gradually entered the English consciousness. These early accounts seem to have created a split image of the Indian in the English mind. On the one hand, the native was imagined to be a savage, hostile, beast-like creature who inhabited the animal kingdom rather than the kingdom of men. In 1585, prospective adventurers to the New World could read one description of the natives of North America which depicted them as naked, lascivious individuals who cohabited "like beasts without any reasonableness." Another account described them as men who "spake such speech that no men could understand them, and in their demeanor like to brute beastes."

Love's Labor's Lost If elizabethans saw the cultural celebrities of their age in the These young menare at the beginning of their intellectual exploration and so http://www.shakespearedc.org/pastprod/lovessay.html
Extractions: January 31 to March 19, 1995 Lost and Found The story is a simple one. Three young men under the tutelage of the King pledge themselves to academic pursuits to the exclusion of good food, a good night's sleep and women. Into the King's garden come, of course, four women-the Princess and her retinue. The rest follows as one would imagine; each of the men falls in love with a different woman, making a perfect eightsome. After reckoning with their self-imposed chastity and abandoning it, the men must then deal with the clever rebukes of their female visitors. The play is animated not so much by its modest plot, nor even by character, but by language. It is rich in rhymed verse, wordplay, witty badinage (matched only by the repartee of Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing ) and sonnets. The extraordinary octet has the wit and learning of erudite youths, the grace of Elizabethan nobility and the poetic vitrosity of, well, Shakespeare. Into the mix, the playwright adds three other groups of characters, all largely defined by language. The pedant Holofernes and the curate Nathaniel with their Latinate quibbles, ad nauseam; the romantic Spaniard Don Armado and his Sancho Panza, Moth; and the aptly named Constable Dull and the rustic Costard who stumble over the banter of their more educated comrades.

Extractions: James Hart, "The College Course in English Literature, How it May Be Improved" (1884) How is this amount of time to be best utilized? I confess that at more than one point I am in doubt; at least, my past experience is still to some extent only experimental. To my way of thinking, the study of English literature means the study of the great movement of English life and feeling, as it is reflected in the purest prose of representative men; those men who have led their people's sympathies. Rhetoric always savors to me of the school-bench. It is, if we look into it scrutinizingly, little more than verbal jugglery. And however clever we may be at it ourselves, however quick we may be at perceiving it in others, we shall be none the wiser in understanding an author, the influences that moulded him, his peculiar mission, his hold upon us. The proper object of literary study, in one word, is to train us to read , to grasp an author's personality in all its bearings. And the less rhetoric here, the better in my judgment. Rhetorical exercises are, of course, useful. So are the parallel bars and dumb-bells of a gymnasium. Need I push the comparison farther? In the next place, how is it with Anglo-Saxon and early English? I think that here most of us have confounded two radically distinct matters, vis., literature and language. Literature is thought. Were, now, the connection of thought between our King Alfred of pious memory and our Queen Victoria an unbroken continuity, I could spare my time. I should say at once, unhesitatingly, that it would be our duty to master
