The origin of the name Gilbert 1: English (Norman), French, and Low German: from Gislebert , a Norman personal name composed of the Germanic elements gisil + berht hostage, noble youth + bright, famous . This given name enjoyed considerable popularity in England during the Middle Ages, partly as a result of the fame of Saint Gilbert of Sempringham (1085 - 1189), the founder of the only native English monastic order. This at one time had over twenty houses, but became extinct on the Dissolution of the Monasteries. 2: Scots and Irish: anglicized form of Kilbride , from Erse and Gaelic son of the servant of (Saint) Brigit A name which may translate as "Exalted", and was originally borne by a pagan fire goddess, many of whose attributes were transferred to Saint Brigit of Kildare (452 - 523), the founder of the first Irish convent . 3: Jewish (Ashkenazic): anglicization of one or more like-sounding Jewish surnames. Variants (of 1): English: Gelbert Gilbard Gilbart Gilbeart Gilberd Gilbird Gilburd Gilburt Gillbard Jelbart Jelbert (Devon and Cornwall). French:

Gilbert, Sir William Schwenck 1836 - 1911 Parodist, and librettist of the 'Gilbert and Sullivan' light operas, born in London. He studied at London, became a clerk in the privy-council office (1857-62), and was called to the bar (1864). Failling to attract lucrative briefs, he subsisted on magazine contributions to 'Fun', for which he wrote much humorous verse under his boyhood nickname 'Bab', collected in 1869 as the 'Bab Ballads'. He also wrote fairy comedies and serious plays in blank verse. He is remembered for his partnership with Sir Arthur Sullivan, begun in 1871, with whom he wrote 14 popular operas, from 'Trial by Jury' (1875) to 'The Gondoliers' (1889). The partnership was broken by a quarrel, and on its resolution they wrote little more before Sullivan's death in 1900. He was knighted in 1907. (Cambridge Biographical Encyclopedia 1994) Sullivan, Sir Arthur Seymour 1842 - 1900 Composer, born in London. He studied in London and Leipzig, and became an organist in London. His association with the theatre started in 1867, and from 1871 he was known for his collaboration with W.S.Gilbert in such comic operas as 'HMS Pinafore' (1878) and 'The Pirates of Penzance' (1879). He also composed a grand opera, 'Invanhoe' (1891), cantatas, ballads, a 'Te Deum', and hymn tunes. He was knighted in 1883. (Cambridge Biographical Encyclopedia 1994) 1975 - HMS. Pinafore

It leads to the atrophy of judgement and intuition... Economics, Peace, and Laughter. Galilei, Galileo (1564 - 1642) [The universe] cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word.

The Armchair Science Reader , New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. And who can doubt that it will lead to the worst disorders when minds created free by God are compelled to submit slavishly to an outside will? When we are told to deny our senses and subject them to the whim of others? When people devoid of whatsoever competence are made judges over experts and are granted authority to treat them as they please? These are the novelties which are apt to bring about the ruin of commonwealths and the subversion of the state. [On the margin of his own copy of Dialogue on the Great World Systems In J. R.

In zijn sublieme portret van de operette-auteurs W.S. Gilbert en Sir Arthur Sullivan, Topsy-Turvy , observeert Mike Leigh nauwgezet de onwennigheid, het ontzag en het wantrouwen waarmee al die innovaties tegemoet werden getreden. Betuigde Leigh zich in zijn eerdere films (waaronder Naked en Secrets and Lies Topsy-Turvy De grootste aandacht van Leigh gaat uiteraard naar het werk van de regisseurs Gilbert en Sullivan, die de opvoering van hun operettes (door henzelf opera's genoemd) vermoedelijk voor het eerst in de geschiedenis met strenge hand begeleidden. 'The king of topsy-turvy-dom' noemde een recensent van The Times Princess Ida The Mikado The Sorcerer , een noodgreep van het theater omdat er een gat in de programmering valt. En een flash-forward is hooguit dat op het moment dat Gilbert het idee krijgt, na een bezoek aan een Japanse tentoonstelling, om daar een operette over te schrijven, we meteen al fragmenten uit de kant-en-klare voorstelling te zien krijgen.

Gilbert and Sullivan Archive The Life of W.S. Gilbert by Andrew Crowther William Schwenck Gilbert was born at 17 Southampton Street, Strand, London on the 18th of November, 1836, the son of William Gilbert (a retired naval surgeon) and Anne Gilbert. He had, or rather obtained, three younger sisters: Jane, Maud and Florence. He seems to have been interested in the theatre from an early age - he later recalled the Haymarket being lit by wax candles in the mid-1840s. He completed his education at King's College, London, and forwent the possibility of going on to Oxford in the attempt to join the Army and fight in Crimea. In the period 1857-66, he made abortive attempts at careers as Government clerk and barrister: however, he retreated out of both these professions as soon as he could. In 1861 or 1862 he started contributing drawings, prose and verse to the recently-established comic journal Fun . Among the products of this association were The Bab Ballads Uncle Baby was, as far as we know, his first professionally-performed play: it was produced at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in London on the 31st October 1863, but ran there for only seven weeks. David Eden suggests, without any concrete evidence to support the claim, that this play was written in collaboration with his father. His stage career went no further until December 1866, when both his burlesque Dulcamara and a pantomime

Gilbert and Sullivan Archive The Passing of Gilbert by H. L. Mencken From the Baltimore Evening Sun, May 30, 1911. How THE COMMON American conception of the English, as a stodgy and humorless folk, could so long withstand the fact of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas must ever remain one of the mysteries of international misunderstanding. Here, indeed, was wit that Aristophanes might have fathered; here was humor that Rabelais might have been proud to own. And yet it was the work of a thorough and unmitigated Englishman of William Schwenck Gilbert, to wit a man born in the heart of London, and one who seldom passed, in all his 75 years, out of hearing of Bow Bells. Gilbert died yesterday perhaps 15 years too late. His career really ended in 1896, when he and Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote "The Grand Duke", their last joint work. They had quarreled before and made up. Now they quarreled for good. Sullivan, searching about for a new partner, found that there was but one Gilbert. Basil Hood, Comyns Carr and Arthur Wing Pinero tried their hands and failed. And Gilbert himself, seeking a new Sullivan, learned that a new Sullivan was not be found. Edward German came nearest but "The Emerald Isle" was still miles from "The Mikado." The Gilbert and Sullivan partnership, in truth, was absolutely unique. One looks in vain for parallels. Beaumont and Fletcher, Meilhac and Halevy, the Goncourts these come to mind, but differences at once appear. Sullivan, without Gilbert, seemed to lose the gift of melody, and Gilbert, without Sullivan was parted from that exquisite humor which made him, even above Mark Twain, the merrymaker of his generation. The two men, working together for 15 years, found it impossible, after their separation, to work alone. Sullivan, cast adrift, took to the writing of oratorios and presently died. Gilbert settled down as a London magistrate and convulsed the world no longer.
