Widows and Suitors in Early Modern English Comedy

The courtship and remarriage of a rich widow was a popular motif in early modern comic theatre. Jennifer Panek brings together a wide variety of texts, from ballads and jest-books to sermons and court records, to examine the staple widow of comedy in her cultural context and to examine early modern attitudes to remarriage. She persuasively challenges the critical tendency to see the stereotype of the lusty widow as a tactic to dissuade women from second marriages, arguing instead that it was deployed to enable her suitors to regain their masculinity, under threat from the dominant, wealthier widow. The theatre, as demonstrated by Middleton, Dekker, Beaumont and Fletcher and others, was the prime purveyor of a fantasy in which a young man's sexual mastery of a widow allowed him to seize the economic opportunity she offered.

The financial difficulties of“young beginners” led the London aldermen in1556to
pass an act prohibiting apprentices from gaining the freedom of the city until the
age of twenty-four, partly in an attempt to prevent “the overhasty marriages and
oversoon setting up ofhouseholds of and by the youth and young folks of the said
city . . . [who] marry themselves as soon as ever they come out of their
apprenticehood, be they never so young and unskilful.” Such marriages led to
children on ...

The Routledge Guide to Modern English Writing

Britain and Ireland

In 1963 President John F. Kennedy was shot, Sylvia Plath published The Bell Jar, and the Beatles were in their prime. This was a changing world, which British and Irish writers both contributed to and reflected in drama, poetry and prose. The Routledge Guide to Modern English Writing tells the story of British and Irish writing from 1963 to the present. From the first performance of Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in the 1960s to lad novels and Chick Lit in the twenty-first century, the authors guide the reader through the major writers, genres and developments in English writing over the past forty years. Providing an in-depth overview of the main genres and extensive treatment of a wide range of writers including Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Angela Carter, Benjamin Zephaniah and Nick Hornby, this highly readable handbook also offers notes on language issues, quotations from selected works, a timeline and a guide to other works. Written by the authors of The Routledge History of Literature in English (second edition, 2001), The Routledge Guide to Modern English Writing is essential reading for all readers of contemporary writing.

Rough Music (2000) is his most accomplished, containing two of the things he
handles hest - a family with a gay component, and CornwalL The Facts of Life (
1995f6) is a setious story with a profoundly gay theme, and Tree Surgery for
Beginners (1998) an ambitious comedy of identity and sexuality which travels the
world. His eatlier novels tend to be lighter in tone, but presage the deeper
handling of themes in his current work. His first novel, The Aerodynamics of Pork

A Survey of Modern English

Fully revised and updated, the second edition of this authoritative guide is a comprehensive, scholarly and systematic review of modern English. In one volume the book presents a description of both the linguistic structure of present-day English and its geographical, social, gender, and ethnic variations. Covering new developments such as the impact of email on language and corpus-based grammars, this accessible text has been extensively rewritten and brings the survey of modern English right up to date. It also offers new examples and suggestions for further reading.

This chapter deals with the phonology of English together with a certain degree
of phonetic detail and the essentials of English orthography. Naturally, a
treatment of this length cannot take the place of a textbook in phonetics and
phonology or a manual of spelling. lts aim is rather to present fundamental and
systematic characteristics of, as well as tendencies in, the development of
English pronunciation and to give the principles of English spelling in outline. 4.1

Descriptive Adequacy of Early Modern English Grammars

The book deals with the development of descriptive models of English grammar writing during the Early Modern English period. For the first time, morphology and syntax as presented in Early Modern English grammars are systematically investigated as a whole. The statements of the contemporary grammarians are compared to hypotheses made in modern descriptions of Early Modern English and, where necessary, checked against the Early Modern English part of the Helsinki Corpus. Thus, a comprehensive overview of the characteristic features of Early Modern English is complemented by conclusions about the descriptive adequacy of Early Modern English grammars. It becomes evident that comments by contemporary authors occasionally reflect the corpus data more adequately than the statements found in modern secondary literature. This book is useful for (advanced) university students, as well as for scholars of English and grammarians in general.

Yet it was shown that Bullokar modifies the model in order to include typical
features of English. Examples are the description of adjectives or the reduction of
the number of genders. Compared to Bullokar' s grammar, Poole's work is a
faithful copy of Lily's which offers no room for the characteristics of the English
language. Poole's achievements are therefore to be regarded less highly than
Bullokar's 60 years before. The influence of Latin grammar is noticeable in the
majority of the ...
