This article explores the implications of the sunset music in the third stanza of ‘To Autumn’ in terms of John Keats’s ethics of friendship and his response to contemporary politics. The letters he wrote in the summer of 1819, when his financial situation was more alarming than ever, show a preoccupation with the exchange of duties as the foundation of friendship. This moral commitment is suggested by the harmony of the animals’ intermingling voices in ‘To Autumn’, which draws on the antiphonal hymnody of Milton’s earth-walking angels in Paradise Lost. On the other hand, as an art form of harmonious mutual obligation, Keats’s polyphonic music echoes broader reformist claims for national unity in the immediate aftermath of the Peterloo massacre, and reflects Keats’s identification of his poetic vocation with the public career of radical leaders such as Henry ‘Orator’ Hunt.

This article provides the first full account of Alice Mustian, a Salisbury woman who in 1614 built a theatre in her backyard and charged an audience admission to watch a group of children perform a play that she had written about some salacious neighbourhood gossip. While the fact that this remarkable incident occurred is not unknown to scholars, the primary historical evidence about the event itself has remained largely unexamined. Drawing on unexplored ecclesiastical court records in the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, we offer a more complete picture of the performance, its complex social context, and the motivations of the parties involved. We locate it within the field of study of lost plays; we consider how it relates to other forms of theatre and performance culture in the period; and we discuss Mustian as a female dramatist whose play offers a tantalizing glimpse of the kinds of voices whose dramatic works may not have survived into the present.

This article contends that the alliterative long-line poem Mum and the Sothsegger redefines and develops the meanings of the Middle English verb babelen (to babble). I argue that the Mum-poet shifted the meaning of the word from denoting idle prattle and nonsensical, infantile vocalizations into a simple and transparent form of communication that was ideal for telling truths. Those who babble are directly opposed to those who keep mum or communicate in a subtle and complex manner, obscuring and manipulating the truth through their confusing rhetoric and glosses. The Mum-poet pits simplicity against complexity in his political commentary, advocating for the most straightforward, utilitarian manner of speech in statecraft.
