This essay brings to light the most substantial episodes of textual scholarship on Piers Plowman to have occurred over the space of 300-odd years, of which one certainly, the other likely, took place in the household of Archbishop Matthew Parker. The former consists of a series of red numbers inscribed next to lines in two passus of the C-version copy Cambridge, Corpus Christi MS 293, which are shown to refer to the pages on which the equivalent lines appear in a sixteenth-century printed edition of Piers B, reflecting careful comparison of their respective texts. The latter is manifested in the ‘correction’ of a portion of the C-text manuscript London, British Library, MS Royal 18 B xvii so as to bring it into line with its equivalent in a printed edition of B. The placement of the lines is suggestive of access by the corrector to unbound printed matter. This episode, so it is argued, is most intelligible in the context of such episodes of correction as that in which John Joscelyn, Parker’s secretary, engaged. A sub-theme of the essay is that Stephan Batman’s putative centrality to the topic of the Parkerian Piers is not supported by any evidence.
这篇文章揭示了300多年来发生的关于皮尔斯·普洛曼的文本研究中最重要的一幕,其中一幕肯定发生在大主教马修·帕克的家中。前者由一系列红色数字组成,这些数字刻在剑桥C版《科珀斯克里斯蒂MS 293》的两个passus中的线条旁边,这些数字是指16世纪印刷版《皮尔斯B》中出现等效线条的页面,反映了对各自文本的仔细比较。后者表现在对C文本手稿伦敦,大英图书馆,MS Royal 18 B xvii的一部分进行“更正”,使其与B印刷版中的同等手稿保持一致。行的位置表明校正者可以访问未装订的印刷品。有人认为,在帕克的秘书约翰·乔塞林参与的纠正事件中,这一事件是最容易理解的。这篇文章的一个次要主题是,Stephan Batman对Parkerian Piers主题的假定中心地位没有任何证据支持。

This essay, partly by way of Milton’s Spenserian engagements, argues that A Maske is neither a celebration of resolve, nor a univocal assertion of exceptional virtue that facilitates some fusion of pleasure and virtue, but is instead a risky exploration of the mediacy of virtue and the virtues of mediation, however much they fail to satisfy. Several kinds of mediation texture A Maske: mediation as the middle ground between disparate things, mediation as intervention in conflict, mediation as the making sensuous of ideas or putting into medium, and, above all, mediation as the material and social process that takes place in and through opposites that both require and condition one another. Consequently, Milton exploits rather than forecloses the dialectical promise of the masque form and leaves open, but not unanswered, the difficult questions of immediacy and transcendence. Drawing on the writings of T. W. Adorno, this essay suggests that mediation—and his related concept, ‘constellation’—afford supple and illuminating ways with which to think through the contradictions of Milton’s poetic-philosophical thought. It offers new interpretations of cruxes in A Maske and shows how each of its characters entails others through a combination of fissures and resemblances. In presenting not an isolated form of virtue, but sketching instead a constellation of interrelated forms, A Maske reveals how—in tending to its mediations—the drear woods of the world might be made to disclose the starry threshold with which we begin and from which we are removed.

Several attempts have been made to demonstrate that Shakespeare knew and drew from the anonymous university drama Caesars Reuenge in writing Julius Caesar. This article revisits the question of influence, making the case that Reuenge not only influenced certain particulars of Shakespeare’s play but also helped to shape its general structure and suggested some of its major themes. Following the introduction, the first part situates Reuenge, performed by the students of Trinity College, Oxford, within its academic context, and examines the crucial matter of dating, arguing that it precedes Shakespeare’s Caesar tragedy. The second part treats the minor and major parallels between the two plays and demonstrates the ways in which Shakespeare’s academic predecessor seems to haunt the familiar plot of Julius Caesar. A brief conclusion considers what this might indicate about Shakespeare’s relationship with the universities, a subject of increasing scholarly attention.
