Book Description
Johnson is reported by Thomas Percy to have been delighted with Farmer's Essay: "He speaks of it with the most unreserved applause, as a most excellent performance; as a compleat and finished piece that leaves nothing to be desired in point of Argument: For That the question is now forever decided." The question was how much Latin - and Greek - Shakspeare knew. Farmer was able to show that in many instances where others had claimed Shakespeare's knowledge of the classics in the original languages there were English translations of these works available to him. Farmer somewhat overstated his case, but he resolved many questions. Farmer's life is of great interest in that his was prototypical of the life of the teacher-scholar in the eighteenth century in one of the two great English universities. He occupied many of the positions of the academic and ecclesiastical worlds, for he was also a Doctor of Divinity.

Eastern Resonances in Early Modern England
Author: Claire Gallien
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030229254
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
The concept of resonance collapses the binary between subject and object, perceiver and perceived, evoking a sound or image that is prolonged and augmented by making contact with another surface. This collection uses resonance as an innovative framework for understanding the circulation of people and objects between England and its multiple Asian Easts. Moving beyond Saidian Orientalism to engage with ongoing critical conversations in the fields of connected history, material culture, and thing theory, it offers a vibrant range of case studies that consider how meanings accrue and shift through circulation and interconnection from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth century. Spanning centuries of traveling translations, narratives, myths, practices, and other cultural phenomena, Eastern Resonances in Early Modern England puts forth resonance not just as a metaphor, but a mode of investigation.
