CHAPTER II "OUR ENGLISH MAECENAS" I EARLY PATRONAGE (1617-1636) No doubt Gerard Langbaine's appreciation of William Cavendish is, like the Duchess's own estimate, largely gross hyperbole, but there is a measure of truth in his assertion that "no Person since the Time of Augustus better understood Dramatick Poetry, nor more generously encourag'd Poets; so that wemay truly call him our English Maecenas." 1 At all events a nobleman whose interest in letters began with Ben Jonson and extended to Shadwell, who was o1 terms of intimacy with Hobbes, Shirley, and Dryden, is not to be disregarded in the history of English patronage. Many a dedication both before and after Newcastle's exile testifies that he was easy of access to struggling authors and generous of his bounty, in evil times as well as in prosperity. Money could always be found for his fine horses on the Continent, and after coming home he could never bring himself to turn away a needy writer. Dabbling in literature was one of the Duke's passions, and one he ceaselessly indulged. Perhaps he realized how very mediocre his own creative talents were and resolved by way of compensation inextricably to entangle his literary reputation with the names of his great contemporaries, believing with one whom he would have delighted to honor, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.a 1 An Account of the Dramatick Poets, 1691, p. 386. 1 Shakespeare, Sonnet XVIII. Cavendish's youth showed no tendency towards learning except his early proficiency in French, a necessary part of every fine gentleman's equipment; in general the boy cared little for any activity which required perseverance and application. It is small wonder, then, that he took no...

Download or read book Margaret the First written by Douglas Grant and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1957-12-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Cavendish was one of the most original, loveable and eccentric of women writers. Pepys called her "mad, ridiculous, and conceited" but when she paid her famous visit to London in 1667 he ran all over town to see her. And many of her other contemporaries were no less fascinated. Posterity has continued to feel the attraction; to her many admirers she has always been "the incomparable Princess," and Lamb enthusiastically praised her as "the thrice noble, chase, and virtuous—but again somewhat fantastical, and original-brain'd, generous Margaret Newcastle." This biography is the first full-length study entirely devoted to the Duchess of Newcastle. It shows Margaret's metamorphosis from an imaginative, bashful child into a romantic public figure, and how, after living at home among a family unusual in its loyalties, she served as lady-in-waiting to Queen Henrietta Maria during the Civil War and in exile married William Cavendish, the "Loyal" Duke of Newcastle, before emerging as the first woman writer of her times—"Margaret the First" as she wished to be known. Her poetry, fiction, drama and natural philosophy, along with her many other writings, are treated as facets of her extraordinary personality delightful in itself and also valuable as an illustration of the spirit of the age. The illustrations are unusually good and include a fine unpublished portrait of the Duchess, a photo of her effigy in Westminster Abbey and reproductions of several of the ornate engraved title-pages of her works.

Book excerpt: A Lit Hub Best Book of 2016 • One of Electric Literature's Best Novels of 2016 • An Entropy Best Book of 2016 “The duchess herself would be delighted at her resurrection in Margaret the First...Dutton expertly captures the pathos of a woman whose happiness is furrowed with the anxiety of underacknowledgment.” —Katharine Grant, The New York Times Book Review Margaret the First dramatizes the life of Margaret Cavendish, the shy, gifted, and wildly unconventional 17th–century Duchess. The eccentric Margaret wrote and published volumes of poems, philosophy, feminist plays, and utopian science fiction at a time when "being a writer" was not an option open to women. As one of the Queen's attendants and the daughter of prominent Royalists, she was exiled to France when King Charles I was overthrown. As the English Civil War raged on, Margaret met and married William Cavendish, who encouraged her writing and her desire for a career. After the War, her work earned her both fame and infamy in England: at the dawn of daily newspapers, she was "Mad Madge," an original tabloid celebrity. Yet Margaret was also the first woman to be invited to the Royal Society of London—a mainstay of the Scientific Revolution—and the last for another two hundred years. Margaret the First is very much a contemporary novel set in the past. Written with lucid precision and sharp cuts through narrative time, it is a gorgeous and wholly new approach to imagining the life of a historical woman. "In Margaret the First, there is plenty of room for play. Dutton’s work serves to emphasize the ambiguities of archival proof, restoring historical narratives to what they have perhapsalways already been: provoking and serious fantasies,convincing reconstructions, true fictions.”—Lucy Ives, The New Yorker “Danielle Dutton engagingly embellishes the life of Margaret the First, the infamousDuchess of Newcastle–upon–Tyne.” —Vanity Fair

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard Studies in English, Vol. 4: The First Duchess of Newcastle, and Her Husband as Figures, in Literary History When one does begin to discuss the Life, he finds his inter est not wholly devoted to the Duchess; it is also decidedly in trigued by the protagonist, Newcastle himself. He becomes to the reader more than a mere puppet or figurehead he proves to be a very real fiesh-and-blood man, a fine example of the Stuart aristocrat, the English Cavalier. Apart from the Life, Cavendish is interesting from a literary point of view. He too was an author; he wrote proclamations, treatises filled with political advice, books on horsemanship, and plays. He was also a patron of letters, as is shown by his literary productions; three of the five plays, in which the Duke had a share were largely written by his protégés, so that his position as a writer is in extricably entangled with his position as Maecenas. Chapter II attempts to cover both these subjects, and if some confusion results, it is because of the difficulty inherent in this web of cross-relationships. At all events Newcastle appreciated art and, though he only dabbled in it, he has a distinct position as patron and author - not to mention the fact that he furnished his wife with the material from which she built her masterpiece. The Duchess's works all have a place in literature apart from their intrinsic value, for Margaret Cavendish was one of the first Englishwomen to attain recognition as a writer. This in itself is no small claim to fame and is a sufficient reason for discussing her lesser books, which is done in Chapter III. As has been said, however, these volumes are for the most part extremely tedious, and because of this quality, coupled with their scarcity, they are little known today. Nevertheless, delv ing in them has its compensations, for it is of absorbing interest to see how one woman began written composition and how she continued it. Her works have no Sources but her own imagination, and their influence is too nebulous to compute. Still the Duchess did write at a time when women were just entering the field of literature. Her enterprise may have en couraged more talented authoresses, and if her results are not tangible, that is no cause for denying them; tradition often works more subtly than the eye of science can perceive.

Download or read book Jonson and the Contexts of His Time written by Robert C. Evans and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ben Jonson was one of the most important writers of the English Renaissance, and this study both reflects and contributes to the growing focus on the concrete details of his art and career. By examining specific works, particular historical circumstances, and complex relations with various individuals, author Robert C. Evans tries to locate Jonson's writings in the contexts that helped shape their artistry." "This book presumes that the more one knows about Jonson's various contexts, the more richly one can appreciate the complicated significance of the texts he produced. In fact, a major purpose of the book is the presentation of new archival data. The individual chapters all assume that Jonson could not ignore his relations with other people and the effects that those relations might have had on his life and writings." "The first chapter raises explicitly many of the questions involved in the historical study of literature, contributing to recent dialogue about the meaning and value of the so-called New Historicism. This chapter also offers one of the few sustained examinations of one of Jonson's most typical and significant poems, the epistle to Edward Sackville." "Chapter 2 suggests why Jonson's relations with rivals and patrons were particularly significant. It discusses one of his most important rivalries - the "poetomachia" - and its significance for the early years of his life as a writer. The chapter then jumps to the end of Jonson's career and emphasizes works he addressed to the Earl of Newcastle, one of his most important later patrons. This initial emphasis on patronage and rivalry recurs in one way or another in all the subsequent chapters, which follow a roughly chronological scheme." "Chapter 3 looks at the earliest and perhaps still the best of Jonson's great plays, Volpone, and explores new evidence suggesting that Jonson may have used this comedy to mock a powerful and wellknown contemporary. Chapter 4 explores The Devil is an Ass (1616) and attempts to suggest the very complicated political and social circumstances in which it was enmeshed. Chapter 5 tries to show how the important masque entitled Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue offered a detailed response to another aristocratic entertainment written a few months earlier, and chapter 6 surveys the poet's apparently contentious relations with the highly talented Thomas Campion." "Chapters 7 and 8 focus on the closing years of Jonson's career. They explore his little-known friendship with Joseph Webbe, an important language theorist whose ideas were quite controversial at the time, and examine Jonson's relations with significant Caroline patrons in an attempt to show the complicated ways in which the patronage "system" - so often discussed in the abstract could operate in actuality. A brief afterword summarizes some of the general critical assumptions on which all the preceding chapters are based."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flamboyant, theatrical and ambitious, Margaret Cavendish was one of the seventeenth century's most striking figures: a woman who ventured into the male spheres of politics, science, philosophy and literature. The Blazing World is a highly original work: part Utopian fiction, part feminist text, it tells of a lady shipwrecked on the Blazing World where she is made Empress and uses her power to ensure that it is free of war, religious division and unfair sexual discrimination. This volume also includes The Contract, a romance in which love and law work harmoniously together, and Assaulted and Pursued Chastity, which explores the power and freedom a woman can achieve in the disguise of a man.
