Besides Shakespeare, these were Ben Jonson, John Marston, George Chapman and...Ignoto. This Star of England believed Shakespeare's "The Phoenix and the Turtle" was definitely about the Great Romance and the Succession to the throne of England. So did Gertrude C. Ford in her A Rose by Any Name (3). Betty Sears' whole book Shakespeare and the Tudor Rose was about the Great Romance and the Succession (4). Henry V111 . It matches the mindset in "The Phoenix and the Turtle" to a certain extent. An indelible, key match, in fact, for anyone looking for clues to get to the ultimate bottom of this murky mystery. Henry V111 section makes it very clear Shakespeare in his mind identified Queen Elizabeth with the Phoenix, and its legendary death and resurrection as metaphorically connected with the Succession. Martyr arrived (5). On an interlibrary loan from Georgetown University. Big book, fine print, the binding crumbling around the edges. Introduction and notes by A.B. Grosart.

    Extractions: DONNE, JOHN (1573-1631), English poet and divine of the reign of James I., was born in 1573 in the parish of St Nicholas Olave, in the city Of London. His father was a wealthy merchant, who next year became warden of the Company of Ironmongers, but died early in 1576. Donnes parents were Catholics, and his mother, Elizabeth Heywood, was directly descended from the sister of the great Sir Thomas More; she was the daughter of John Heywood the epigrammatist. As a child, Donnes precocity was such that it was said of him that this age hath brought forth another Pico della Mirandola. He entered Hart Hall, Oxford, in October 1584, and left it in 1587, proceeding for a time to Cambridge, where he took his degree: At Oxford he began his friendship with Henry Wotton, and at Cambridge, probably, with Christopher Brooke. Donne was removed to London about 1590, and in 1592 he entered Lincolns Inn with the intention of studying the law. In 1610 Donne formed the acquaintance of a wealthy gentleman, Sir Robert Drury of Hawsted, who offered him and his wife an apartment in his large house in Drury Lane. Drury lost his only daughter, and in 1611 Donne published an extravagant elegy on her, entitled An Anatomy of the World, to which he added in 1612 a Progress of the Soul on the same subject; he threatened to celebrate the blessed Maid; Elizabeth Drury, in a fresh elegy on each anniversary of her death, but he happily refrained from the third occasion onwards. At the close of 1611 Sir Robert Drury determined to visit Paris (but not, as Walton supposed, on an embassy of any kind), and he took Donne with him. When he left London, his wife was expecting an eighth child. It seems almost certain that her fear to have him absent led him to compose one of his loveliest poems:

Marvell and Dryden . 775 CHAPTER XXVI. THE FANTASTIC SCHOOL OF ENGLISH POETRY. But, just as the political conflicts of that age produced characters of a beauty and temper not to be found in less exacting times, so the Fantastic Poets in their conflicts of thought produced beauties, " things extreme and scattering bright," to quote the words of Donne, which cannot be paralleled in any other period of our literature. The Elizabethan lyric poet wrote to express, not something that occurred to himself alone, but something old and universal such as any lover could sing to his mistress without incongruity, and his whole poetic energy was spent upon saying these old things better than they had ever been said before. Hence the extraordinary verbal beauty and the high level of execution, even in minor poets of the Elizabethan age. It is clear, however, that Donne was tired of this verbal beauty. Though he was anything but a Puritan himself, there was something Puritanic in his view of his art. He despised poetry which took the line of least resistance, as the Puritans despised men who lived easily. He thought it the duty of a poet to wrestle with all difficulties of thought, and he did not care if he lost all graces of manner in the process.

William Shakespeare was only one among many distinguished dramatists and poets, whose ranks included Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson and John Donne. In this extract from a contribution to The Cambridge Companion to English Literature 1500-1600 (available through Fathom), Colin Burrow, senior lecturer in English at the University of Cambridge, considers some of the reasons why writing flourished here as never before and why writers themselves began to emerge as public figures to be acknowledged and celebrated. he most extraordinary literary phenomenon of the century was the sudden burst of literary activity in the 1580s and 1590s, when Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson and Donne were all at work within a few miles of each other. There is inevitably a shortfall between any quasi-causal "explanation" of this kind of miracle and the phenomenon itself. But those writers were the beneficiaries of many things: an expansion of grammar schools had produced an increasingly eloquent, classically learned body of men from relatively humble backgrounds for whom public offices (as secretaries to noblemen or as minor civil servants) were in critically short supply. For men who could not get any other job which would enable them to make use of their training in eloquence, writing provided an opportunity to use their eloquence in a public forum.

It was only after the time of Julius Caesar (44 B.C.) that the classical worlds of Greece and Rome received direct knowledge about these misty isles. The Roman Emperor Claudius established Roman rule there in 43 A.D.. Over the next four centuries, as the Roman Empire began to crumble, Rome gradually withdrew from this distant land. For almost 500 years, the British Isles had been a battlefield for the Celts, many Germanic tribes, the Romans, and the Vikings, but by 650 A.D. the Anglo-Saxons had England firmly in their grasp. After these centuries of fighting, the warrior-kings were the undisputed masters of their individual worlds, but things were changing. Christianity was slowly seeping into the fabric of "pagan" Briton. The Roman popes sent priests, like St. Patrick and St. Augustine, to convert these violent and aggressive peoples to a kinder and gentler way of life and to establish the status of the Church above even that of a king. This wasn’t easy, but the priests and the warriors managed to maintain a shaky balance of power into the Middle Ages. The 16th century was a time of great events in politics and religion which helped to power a Renaissance in English literature producing some of the greatest of the English writers. Even though they lived almost four hundred years ago, their ideas of human love and their spiritual convictions sound much like ours. Here are a few excerpts, scraps from their collective tables:

As children they were inseparable companions, and when Alexander came to Court he brought his sister with him. The arrival of the two young people so wondrously alike in their striking physical beauty created something of a mild sensation at the Palace of Whitehall, famous as it was for the excellence of its gallants and the radiance of its ladies. Margaret was immediately claimed by the Queen Elizabeth to adorn the privy chamber as a Maid of Honour. The girl's ready wit and shrewd judgment allied to her exquisite grace commanded her strongly to her royal mistress, an aging woman nearing her sixtieth year and seeing perhaps in the accomplished and vivacious maid a reincarnation of the splendour of her own lost youth. Margaret was elevated above all other ladies of the Court as the Queen 's prime favourite, and all who would sue for

    Extractions: "The historian of cartography," writes Christian Jacob, can consider maps in isolation, as self-defined artefacts to be classified and analysed. Or an attempt can be made to understand maps within the culture that produced and used them, so long as such a contextual approach does not lose sight of the map itself. The cultural context of a map might be compared to a pattern of concentric circles surrounding the map. We can move from the inner circle of map making to the remote circles of economic, social, political, intellectual and artistic context. (193) In Maps and Memory Rhonda Lemke Sanford makes a fresh incursion into a field which has been defined over the last decade by the work of Richard Helgerson, John Gillies, Tom Conley, Andrew McRae, Garrett Sullivan, and most recently Bernhard Klein. Where specialist map historians have focussed traditionally on the inner circle referred to by Jacob above, these cultural historians have moved towards the outer circles, placing early modern cartography and its associated practices within a wider, and often principally literary, context.

    Extractions: Ben Jonson's genius was comedy. Not stand-up, yuck-yuck comedy, but the kind of entertainment where fools get what they deserve, and lovers marry, and foolish lovers well, they end alright. In entertaining people he also became a very good lyricist comedies did, and still do, involve songs. If you wanted to get the most out of Jonsonian comedy, though, you couldn't leave your brain at home. (Jonson was born on or about June 11, 1573.) Plays and songs were quoted and discussed at least among the small minority of Englishmen who attended them and to miss the point probably led to an embarrassment in conversation. I encourage you to draw your own pithy conclusions from Karolin's Song from The Sad Shepherd . Whether you bring them up with your friends is up to you. Bob Blair

He's been the most successful screenwriter of the 1990's and he never has to be paid. He gets away with crude jokes that would be called tasteless anywhere else. Shakespeare's just fine the way he is! Shakespeare is high and low. Shakespeare is gay and straight. The Bard, whose personal story is unknown and unquestioned, has been reduced to an icon or symbol of rarefied intelligence, of impenetrable, unreachable genius. All things to all readers, the author has conveniently disappeared in favor of his words. The problem has emerged because the few biographical facts that exist about Mr. Shaksper of Stratford-on-Avon don't tally with what we would expect from the brilliant author of the plays and poems. The content, attitude, life experience, interests, and deep classical education evident in the plays surpass what is on record for William Shaksper of Stratford-on-Avon. Nothing in his life suggests that he was the author of the Shakespeare Canon, or had a reputation in his own lifetime to that effect.

    Extractions: The Shepheardes Calender (December, 37-42) that it was his 'shepherd peres' at the Merchant Taylors' school and Mulcaster (probably the 'good olde shephearde, Wrenock ') who first encouraged him to write verse. I n May 1569, Spenser left school and matriculated as a sizar at Pembroke Hall (now Pembroke College), Cambridge, receiving a further ten shillings from the Nowell bequest to support him. Although he had to work for his meals and accommodation, and may often have been ill during his studies, this appears to have been an important and productive time for the young poet. At Pembroke, Spenser came to know the master John Young, later Bishop of Rochester, and probably met Lancelot Andrewes, the future Bishop of London and privy councillor, who had also been at the Merchant Taylors' school. The most important influence on Spenser during this period, though, was undoubtedly his intimate friendship with Gabriel Harvey, himself admitted as a Fellow of Pembroke Hall in 1570. While Spenser's relationship with Harvey was later satirized by fellow students in a play titled Pedantius , Harvey appears to have introduced Spenser to a number of important connections and potential patrons, including Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. After taking his B.A. (1573) and M.A. (1576), Spenser left Cambridge for Kent, where he acted as secretary for John Young, recently created Bishop of Rochester. It was there that the poet probably composed
