Signatures of the witnesses to the publishing of Shakespeare's will.

Shakespeare Weekend

Our next stop on the tour of UWM Special Collections' Shakespeare Collection is The plays and poems of William Shakspeare, in ten volumes: collated verbatim with the most authentick copies, and revised; with the corrections and illustrations of various commentators; to which are added, an essay on the chronological order of his plays; an essay relative to Shakspeare and Jonson; a dissertation on the three parts of King Henry VI; an historical account of the English stage; and notes; - what a ten dollar title! The volumes were edited by Irish scholar Edmond Malone (1741-1812), published in 1790, and printed by Henry Baldwin for a laundry list of booksellers.  

Malone is best known for his biographical Shakespeare research and chronologically collocating his plays in an essay entitled “An Attempt to Ascertain the Order in Which the Plays Attributed to Shakspeare Were Written” which is included in the Volume One Prolegomena of this collection. Additionally, Malone famously documented various spellings of Shakespeare and declared his preference in dropping the first “e” leaving us with Shakspeare. 

Volume one also includes a frontispiece engraving by Charles Knight (1743-1827) based on the Chandos portrait of Shakespeare, a copy of Shakespeare’s mortgage and will that famously bequeaths his wife his “second best bed”, and a preface by Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) mirroring an engraving by Thomas Holloway (1748-1827) that depicts Johnson and his contemporary scholars.

Requesting headcanons of whether they’re a boobs or an ass man, or both, and how they like to touch you there

King Henry VIII

King Baldwin

King Louis XVI

KIng Henry V

King Francis II

Hello. These ideas are my guesses. I hope you like it. I also assumed that by Baldwin you meant iv. I hope I didn't misunderstand.

King Henry viii

I think Henry prefers plump asses. Plump and big asses are perfect material for heirs in his mind. Moreover, he loves to spank and squeeze ass. This guy is very flirty and has no shame.

King Baldwin IV

I don't think it makes much difference to Baldwin. It doesn't matter much as long as he is with the woman he loves. He takes things slow in bed and prioritizes foreplay.

King Louis xvi

I think his first choice is breasts and his second choice is asses. However, his shy nature prevents him from taking the first step. He is very eager to live passionate memories with the encouragement of his lover or wife.

King Henry v

I think he prefers both. His first priority is his partner's pleasure. In other words, he thinks of the other person before himself. I think there will not be a moment that is not enjoyed with him.

King Francis II

I think he's not very picky. Moreover, he is not very dominant or very experienced. However, he tries to please his partner as much as he can. A good option for soft and gentle togetherness.

Film & TV I Think About A Lot » If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) dir. Barry Jenkins

"I was in his hands, he called me by the thunder at my ear. I was in his hands: I was being changed; all that I could do was cling to him. I did not realize, until I realized it, that I was also kissing him, that everything was breaking and changing and turning in me and moving toward him."

Connie Williams (seated) and a dancer at the Calypso on Macdougal Street in Greenwich Village, ca. 1945.

The Calypso was a Caribbean establishment run by Williams, a Trinidadian restaurateur, where musical performances, soul food, and intellectual banter mixed with a steady flow of liquor. It was a spiritual home of sorts for James Baldwin in his first years in the Village. He got a job there as a waiter, and when he wasn't working he'd be drinking with the artist Beauford Delaney or Marlon Brando, a lifelong friend and supporter. It was a space where races mixed freely, which was still unusual at the time, and on a given night you might have seen Paul Robeson or Henry Miller eating side by side with Burt Lancaster or, later, Malcolm X.

Shakespeare Weekend!

Volumes Two through Nine of Irish scholar Edmond Malone’s (1741-1812) The Plays and Poems of William Shakspeare, in ten volumes closely follow suit to his predecessors. Malone used Samuel Johnson and George Steeven’s ten volume edition as his base text and included the established scene divisions, stage directions, and dramatis personae of the time within the plays. He also published extensive footnotes throughout authored by himself, Shakespearean scholar Richard Farmer (1735-1797), and literary critic William Warburton (1698-1779) to name a few.  

Within the footnotes of Henry IV in Volume Five, publisher Joseph Johnson (1738-1809) describes the difference between Filliping the Toad and a Three-Man Beetle. The note is accompanied by one of the very few illustrations found within our copy of Malone’s collection. What the collection lacks in illustrative quantity, it makes up for in quality. The middle of Volume Five houses a pull-out illustration by J. Keyse Sherwin (1751-1790) of Morris Dancers as seen on “an ancient window in the house of George Tollet Esq at Betley in Staffordshire”. The illustration is accompanied by a detailed description of the window written by George Tollet (d. 1719) who alluded to its importance as a visual reference to the costumes and culture of May Day celebrations depicted throughout Shakespeare’s plays. 

Malone’s ten volume collection was published in 1790 and printed by Henry Baldwin.

[wishesofeternity]

“Warwick launched his final bid at kingmaking, this time in alliance with Margaret of Anjou to restore Henry VI. He and Clarence landed in Devon while the King was in Yorkshire. Elizabeth (Woodville)’s initial reaction was to prepare for a siege in the Tower of London where she had already retired in expectation of the imminent birth of another child. But on 1 October news reached the capital that the King was preparing to set sail from Bishop’s Lynn, abandoning his kingdom. With no hope of imminent rescue, Elizabeth moved swiftly into the Sanctuary of Westminster Abbey with her mother and her daughters. She sent Abbot Thomas Millyng to advise the Mayor and Aldermen that she was surrendering the Tower, and consequently Henry VI, into their custody.

- J.L Laynesmith,  “Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight’s Widow” in “Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts” / “The Last Medieval Queens, English Queenship 1445-1503″

"Elizabeth (Woodville) at first fortified the Tower of London against the approaching Lancastrians, but then decided instead to hand over custody of the Tower to the mayor and aldermen of London while she went into sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. It was a move which not only protected her daughters, who were with her, but also saved London from attack, which perhaps explains some of the praise she later received. The author of 'The Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV, who claimed to have witnessed much of what he recorded, stressed

the right great trowble, sorow, and hevines, whiche [the queen] sustayned with all manar pacience that belonged to eny creature, and as constantly as hathe bene sene at any tyme any of so highe estate to endure; in the whiche season natheles she had browght into this worldc, to the Kyngs grcatystc joy, a fayrc son.

...When Edward (IV) arrived, there was a scene of family bliss, in which the queen's vulnerability and domesticity could be contrasted with his heroism.  The king was thus presented in an unusually human guise, which might appeal to readers familiar with such partings themselves throughout the civil wars:

The king comfortid the quene, and other ladyes ckc;  His swete babis ful tendurly he did kys;  The yonge prynce he behelde, and in his armys did bere. Thus his bale turnyd hym to blis.

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #history #edward iv #mine #the wars of the roses #i have a major issue with the way this is viewed by the vast majority of people tbh #for one: so many people conveniently forget that she was the one who controlled and was apparently fortifying the ToL #(which included the captive Henry VI btw) #while she was literally 8 months pregnant #she only gave it up after she learned that edward iv was also fleeing. it's SO important and interesting #and yet most people either don't know about it or conveniently flash forward to when she entered sanctuary #and my second issue: SO MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING HISTORIANS tend to treat her flight to sanctuary as some kind of indication of her personalit #when the truth of the matter is that SHE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE #as david baldwin rightly pointed out -as an englishwoman of the gentry she did not have foreign resources shelter or support at her disposa #the way every queen before her (in theory for lots of them as it wasn't required) possessed #nor was elizabeth a valuable heiress (like anne Neville or her own daughter eoy) #not to mention the very obvious fact that she was heavily pregnant (and gave birth just a month later) with three very young daughters #like. literally what else was she supposed to do? where else was she supposes to go? #her vulnerability was unprecedentedly horrific and people & historians don't emphasize the comparative degree of it as much as they should #at that point elizabeth literally didn't have any other options other than sanctuary. it wasn't much of a choice #it's strange because elizabeth's status has been discussed a lot in theory but rarely discussed in terms of how it affected her in PRACTISE #and this is a key example of that #among many others

Movie #66 of 2023: I Am Not Your Negro

James Baldwin: "You cannot lynch me and keep me in ghettos without becoming something monstrous yourselves. And furthermore, you give me a terrifying advantage. You never had to look at me. I had to look at you. I know more about you than you know about me."
