Extractions: Any discussion of Shakespeare's life is bound to be loaded with superlatives. In the course of a quarter century, Shakespeare wrote some thirty-eight plays. Taken individually, several of them are among the world's finest written works; taken collectively, they establish Shakespeare as the foremost literary talent of his own Elizabethan Age and, even more impressively, as a genius whose creative achievement has never been surpassed in any age. In light of Shakespeare's stature and the passage of nearly four centuries since his death, it is not surprising that hundreds of Shakespeare biographies have been written in all of the world's major languages. Scanning this panorama, most accounts of the Bard's life (and certainly the majority of modern studies) are contextual in the sense that they place the figure of Shakespeare against the rich tapestry of his "Age" or "Times" or "Society." This characteristic approach to Shakespeare biography is actually a matter of necessity, for without such fleshing out into historical, social, and literary settings, the skeletal character of what we know about Shakespeare from primary sources would make for slim and, ironically, boring books. As part of this embellishment process, serious scholars continue to mine for hard facts about the nature of Shakespeare's world. The interpretation of their meaning necessarily varies, often according to the particular school or ideology of the author.

Extractions: The Book The Classical Phase An Eonic Model of World History Our eonic sequence is at its clearest here in its middle phase, the spectacular era whose structure is something different from what we had thought from the idea of the 'Axial Age'. The question of the history of Israel is so beautifully clarified that we are almost amazed. Please keep in mind however that this account is of eonic sequence, and teleological theology is not a proper interpretation. This is a discrete phase whose evidence is of directionality, and this splits in five just here. Also keep in mind that we have demonstrated a non-random pattern taken in the large. The relative contingency of the detail is often an entirely different question. Note the way multiple potentials and contradictions appear in parallel, from Confucius versus 'Lao Tse' (the man in quotation marks), to Buddhism versus monotheism, to religion versus Greek humanism, to Greek democracy and Greek science. One might consider Heraclitus who is a hybrid being halfway between Indian sage and Pre-Socratic scientist, to see how our system is invoking a spectrum of possibilities, almost a shot gun approach to evolutionary exploration. Note that our treatment of Isreal post-selects the outcome, the original phase should really refer to the whole Middle East where a confusion of empires muddies the much clearer picture visible in the case of Greece. Israel is one outcome of this chaotic area, but so is the Persian Empire, and this will move in parallel, to some extent to be an independent influence in the coming of the much later Islam.

Extractions: Reprinted by permission of the author. Yet the historical analogy remains a useful tool for attempting to describe something as undefined as the settlement of space. Naturally, as the science of using polar analogs of space exploration grows, we examine the historical analogy of the ages of European exploration in greater detail. Imagining the first era of transatlantic exploration quickly brings to mind one of the oldest tropes of popular sci-fi: the space pirate. For all its tinfoil-suited cheesiness, the concept of "space pirate" actually contributes to our understanding of space development. Over the weekend I crossed cutlasses with the science and technology editor of the British newsweekly The Economist. A recent editorial called for America to "stop putting humans into orbit," declaring the whole enterprise "dangerous, costly and scientifically useless." In taking exception, I noted that the Elizabethans financed transatlantic exploration at a time when technology was similarly immature and returns every bit as speculative. The editor riposted with the observation that "there are not too many Spanish galleons to plunder in outer space." But there are, and there will be. If we succeed in opening the space frontier, before long at all buccaneers-by-analogy will be leading the way, drawn by avaricious dreams of easy fortune. The age of the pirate is a critical phase in the development of any frontier.

Extractions: The Age of Belief to the Age of Reason: Separating Science and Religion Most people do not realize that the concept of science, as we know it today, has not always involved the scientific method of experimentation and observation to procure a conclusion. Indeed, the definition of science has evolved a great deal since the time of Aristotle and the other ancient philosophers who tried to explain the ways of nature. Literature often provides the best examples of science at work, and in particular we see this in the literature of the middle ages. The teachings of the ancient authorities, which combined the physical with the metaphysical, were prevalent in the ideology of the tenth through the sixteenth centuries. Books such as the medieval bestiary claimed that animals such as unicorns, phoenixes, griffins and basilisks existed, along with other animals that actually can be found in nature. These animals were described in vivid detail, accompanied by a bit of moralization that taught humans a lesson about life. Many works of medieval literature reflected this combination of natural history and religion in their teachings.

Extractions: Another notable feature of Harman's story about Nicholas Jennings is the unmasking of an impostor. Jennings is not only a phony epileptic, he is even a phony vagrantas Harman eventually discovers, Jennings actually owns a home! That the unmasking of imposture, the shining of a bright light onto occulted identities and hidden practices, is a crucial trope in the period says much about subjectivity. Many theorists have noted in the early modern period a changing subjectivity, a new interiority. Puritans saw God by their own inner light, diary-keeping flourished, household architecture began evolving private rooms. People had secret inner selves to protect, as never before. I think this new subjectivity is intimately connected with the age's preoccupation with imposture. The genre in which Harman wrote, which posterity has dubbed rogue literature, consisted of warnings to the public against petty crimes and tricks of street people, mainly in a comic vein, with a thin veneer of moralizing. The promise of disclosure animates the whole genre. Robert Greene and other "cony-catching" writers claim to have infiltrated the criminal underworld to disclose its secrets to a vulnerable, non-streetwise public, and Ben Jonson's

Extractions: LANGUAGE Changing concepts of style S. JAGADISAN and M.S. NAGARAJAN illuminate us with a survey of changing trends in the use of language over the last 400 years. EVERY artist employs a particular medium to communicate his experiences or view of life. For instance, the painter chooses colours, the musician sounds and the sculptor stone. The literary artist in a similar manner makes use of words and sounds to convey his impression of life. The purpose of a writer, whether he is a poet or dramatist or novelist or essayist, may be to record his response to life. It may be didactic, descriptive or critical. It is generally accepted that modern English literature was born in the second half of the 16th Century which was coeval with the Age of Elizabeth and the Renaissance. It was an age of inquiry, expansion and exploration. The spirit of adventure and experiment became manifest in the employment of language as well. Thanks to foreign influences, particularly Latin and Greek, on the English vocabulary, a large number of foreign words were absorbed in the English language. The Elizabethan writers exploited the native as well the foreign resources to lend variety and colour to their style. One tendency was to model style on that of Latin writing and writers.

Extractions: Illustrated by Don Thompson For centuries the lands that lie between East and West have attracted imaginative and articulate travelers fascinated by past and present civilizations. During the last 100 years, in particular, such travelers have not only replenished the literature of travel, but also have raised it to new levels of grace and perception - none more skillfully than Freya Stark. A Middle East traveler, an explorer and, above all, a writer, Freya Stark has, with an incomparably clear eye, looked toward the horizon of the past without ever losing sight of the present. Her books are route plans of a perceptive intelligence, traversing time and space with ease. Fording a stream on foot, she looks down at the stones and sees an ancient carved inscription through the running water. On the other side of the stream, the Bedouin guide is waiting, and there is a living village, built on the site of heaven-knows-how-many vanished habitations. The explorer lodges happily in such villages, in the old quarters of ancient cities, and in the black tents of the Bedouin that "rest on the surface of the world like a seagull on a wave."

Extractions: Of late there has been so much energy expended on the subject of meter that facets of equal or greater importance to writing verse or prose have been ignored. As one way of turning to another subject, let me opine that most writing for or against meter for the last twenty years has seemed off the mark. Meter is not quantum physics; meter and variations from it are heard (or not). As such, learning how to use it is done by listening to metrical poetry. Nothing can substitute for that. Further, meter, much as the measure in music, is not how we define poetry and its sound, but how we control expression in a way that's impossible (and even undesirable) in writing intended for the eye instead of the ear. As an aside, in music, the measure allows a composer to balance durations (phrasing, single tones, the lengths of a theme or variation, of a section at a particular tempo, etc.), whether for equalities or inequalities. Yet this doesn't force a composer to write themes or variations of a measure's length. Duration is about time in a sequence which may extend measure to measure; and, while the perception of time is subjective, notation of where its seconds fall allows us to create a sense of time's velocity (or lack of it) in a way that artless improvising never can. What follows is a compressed version of a book, still in the works, called
