Almost every student that will enroll in a college Shakespeare course can expect two things. Students will have to engage with the style and themes of texts that were composed over four hundred years old. And students will have to submit a piece of original writing that is well-organized, has a fresh argument, and cites early modern sources correctly. Rarely do these two tracks of the course inform each other. Adhaar Noor Desai's new book, Blotted Lines: Early Modern English Literature and the Poetics of Discomposition (Cornell University Press, 2023) seeks to address this disjunction. As Desai shows, the early modern archive proposed strategies and ideas about writing that students and teachers might profitably learn—and sometimes unlearn. The innovative structure of Blotted Lines has an introduction, a coda, and five chapters that pair a topic from early modern poetics with a key writer: style (George Gascoigne), invention (Philip Sidney), revision (John Davies of Hereford), editing (Anne Southwell) and performance anxiety (William Shakespeare). After each chapter, Desai offers a brief conversational “reflection,” which offer a combination of practical teaching advice for the Shakespeare classroom and more expansive discussions about pedagogy in the twenty-first century university. Desai is Professor of English at Bard College and is one of the co-founders of the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network, an international project that brings together practitioners working at the intersection of technology, social justice, and creative practice. His scholarship has been published in English Literary Renaissance, Philological Quarterly, Configurations, Publicity and the Early Modern Stage, and Teaching Social Justice through Shakespeare. Blotted Lines is his first monograph. John Yargo is Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Boston College. He earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in the environmental humanities and early modern culture. In 2023, his dissertation won the J. Leeds Barroll Prize, given by the Shakespeare Association of America. His peer-reviewed articles have been published or are forthcoming in the Journal for Early Modern Culture Studies, Early Theatre, Studies in Philology, and Shakespeare Studies.

Hello guys, I bring this last episode on the evolution of English Language. Hello and Welcome Best English podcast by Teacher Bruno Gon and today's episode, we will conclude our journey through the evolution of the English language. We'll be exploring the transition from Middle English to Modern English, uncovering its characteristics and the people who used it. So, let's dive right in! As we learned in our previous episode, Middle English emerged as a result of the Norman Conquest in 1066, blending Old English with Norman French influences. However, the evolution of English didn't stop there. By the late 15th century, Middle English gradually transformed into what we now call Early Modern English. One of the defining characteristics of this transition was the Great Vowel Shift, which began in the 14th century and continued into the 18th century. The Great Vowel Shift was a significant sound change that affected the pronunciation of English vowels. Long vowels shifted in pronunciation, resulting in the distinct sounds we recognize in Modern English today. Another notable change was the standardization of spelling and grammar. Early Modern English saw efforts to establish consistent rules for spelling and grammar, although the process wasn't fully completed until later periods. These standardizations helped pave the way for a more unified written form of the language. During the Early Modern English period, new words were introduced into the language through exploration, trade, and scientific advancements. This era witnessed the influence of Latin and Greek, as well as borrowings from other languages, such as Spanish, French, and Dutch. These linguistic additions enriched the vocabulary of English, expanding its range of expression. Now, let's discuss the people who used Early Modern English. This period saw a rise in literacy and the spread of English beyond the ruling elite. The printing press, invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century, played a crucial role in making books more accessible to a wider audience. This increased availability of written materials contributed to the popularization and standardization of English. One influential figure during this time was William Shakespeare. His works, such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth, exemplify the language and creativity of Early Modern English. Shakespeare's plays and sonnets contributed significantly to the development and expansion of the English language, introducing new words and phrases that are still used today. The exploration and colonization of the New World by English-speaking nations also impacted the growth of the language. English encountered various indigenous languages and adopted words from Native American, African, and Asian languages, further diversifying its vocabulary. Over time, Early Modern English transitioned into what we now know as Modern English. The 18th and 19th centuries saw further standardization and refinements in spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. The Industrial Revolution, scientific advancements, and global exploration continued to shape and expand the English language. Modern English has become a global language, spoken by millions around the world. Its influence can be seen in fields such as literature, science, technology, business, and entertainment. And that concludes our exploration of the transition from Middle English to Modern English. We've examined the characteristics of this linguistic transformation and the people who used the language during this period.

Hello everyone, this is the second episode of the evolution of English Language. Welcome to Best English Podcast by Teacher Bruno Gon and today we continue our journey through the evolution of English. In this episode, we'll explore the transition from Old English to Middle English, examining its characteristics and the people who used it. So, let's dive right in! As we learned in our last episode, Old English was the language spoken in England during the Anglo-Saxon period. Around the 11th century, England underwent a significant change that would impact its language: the Norman Conquest of 1066. With William the Conqueror taking the English throne, the ruling class shifted from Anglo-Saxon to Norman French. This transition brought about a blending of the two languages, giving rise to a new form known as Middle English. Middle English retained some of the grammar and vocabulary from Old English but adopted many French words and influences. It became the language of the nobility and the ruling elite, while Old English continued to be spoken by the common people. One of the most significant characteristics of Middle English was the Great Vowel Shift. During this period, the pronunciation of long vowels in English underwent an enormous change. The way vowels were pronounced shifted, resulting in a significant transformation in the pronunciation of words. Middle English also witnessed changes in grammar. While Old English had a complex system of noun declensions, in Middle English was a simpler system and relied more on word order to convey meaning. Verbs also underwent changes in conjugation and the use of auxiliary verbs became more prevalent. Now, let's talk about the people who used Middle English. As mentioned earlier, Middle English became the language of the nobility and the ruling class. The Norman French-speaking aristocracy held power, and their language and customs influenced the development of Middle English. However, it's important to note that Middle English wasn't solely confined to the upper class. It gradually spread and permeated through various levels of society. Middle English also saw a rise in written literature. Geoffrey Chaucer, known as the "Father of English Literature," composed his famous work, "The Canterbury Tales," in Middle English. This collection of stories provided a vivid depiction of the language and society of the time. As time went on, Middle English continued to evolve, and by the late 15th century, it transformed into Early Modern English. This change was catalyzed by the introduction of the printing press and the influence of the Renaissance. The transition from Old English to Middle English to Early Modern English marked a fascinating linguistic journey, shaped by historical events, cultural interactions, and the creativity of the people who spoke and wrote the language. And that concludes our exploration of the evolution from Old English to Middle English. We've learned about the characteristics of Middle English and the people who used it, witnessing the fusion of Anglo-Saxon and Norman French influences. In the next episode we will conclude the series about English Language Evolution. Don't forget to subscribe, forward to friends and rate me 5 stars.

Hello everyone I bring today the beginning of English Language. Now, I provide you the transcription of the episode. Welcome to the Best English podcast by Teacher Bruno Gon. Before we start I'd like to thank you for listening and also invite you to follow me on instagram @bestenglish.br and in today's episode, we're taking a step back in time to explore the intriguing language known as Old English. From its characteristics to its places of origin and the people who spoke it, we have a lot to uncover. So, let's get started! To understand Old English, we need to travel back over a thousand years to the Anglo-Saxon period in England. Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon, was the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxons, a group of Germanic tribes who settled in England during the 5th and 6th centuries. One of the key characteristics of Old English is its inflectional grammar. In Old English, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and verbs changed their form to indicate their grammatical function in a sentence. For example, nouns had different endings depending on whether they were subject, object, or possessive. Old English vocabulary was predominantly Germanic but also included loanwords from Latin, Norse, and Celtic languages. Many words we still use today have their roots in Old English, such as "house," "father," and "love." Now, let's talk about the places of origin of Old English. As I mentioned earlier, it emerged when the Anglo-Saxon tribes migrated to England. These tribes, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, hailed from what is now modern-day Germany and Denmark. They brought with them their language, which evolved over time into Old English. The dialects of Old English varied across different regions of England. The West Saxon dialect, spoken in the region around modern-day London, eventually became the standard form of Old English due to the influence of King Alfred the Great, who promoted it during his reign in the 9th century. Now, let's delve into the people who spoke Old English. The Anglo-Saxons were a diverse group of tribes, each with their own distinct cultural and linguistic identities. They settled in various parts of England, establishing kingdoms and communities. The Angles settled in the east and north, the Saxons in the south and west, and the Jutes in the southeast. These tribes had a strong oral tradition and storytelling played a significant role in their culture. Many of the Old English literary works, such as Beowulf and The Dream of the Rood, were composed during this period. These texts provide valuable insights into the language, beliefs, and values of the people who spoke Old English. However, with the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Old English gradually gave way to Middle English, influenced by the Norman French of the ruling class. Over time, Middle English evolved into the Early Modern English we recognize today. And that concludes our journey into the world of Old English. We've explored its characteristics, discussed the places of its origin, and learned about the people who spoke it—the Anglo-Saxons. Join us next time as we uncover more linguistic gems from around the globe. Remember to subscribe to our podcast and follow us on social media for updates and additional content.

In this episode we are joined by Nikki Clark and Caroline Dunn to speak about their work on the role of ladies-in-waiting in the medieval and early modern English court. We'll hear their reflections on how the role changed over time and what life was like for these women as well as their thoughts about Queen Camilla's decision to eliminate this position in favour of the new post of ‘companions'. Dr Nicola Clark is a Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Chichester. Her first book, Gender, Family, and Politics: The Howard Women, 1485-1558, was published by Oxford University Press in 2018, and she also writes for public audiences, with work featured in History Today and on the History Extra website. She has spoken about her research at events for Historic Royal Palaces, the National Archives, various schools, and academic institutions, and has recently appeared on television as part of the BBC's The Boleyns: A Scandalous Family, and More4's Royal Scandals. Before coming to Chichester, Nicola taught at the University of Winchester and Royal Holloway College, University of London. She has published widely on women's roles, queenship, the Reformation, and Tudor politics. Twitter: @NikkiClark86 Selected Publications: Gender, Family, and Politics: The Howard Women, 1485-1558.

Her book, Stolen Women in Medieval England: Rape, Abduction, and Adultery c. 1100-1500 (Cambridge, 2012) offers the first comprehensive overview of women's experiences with ravishment, which ranged from forcible rape to consensual elopement and adultery, during the English Middle Ages. Professor Dunn's current research explores the lady-in-waiting in medieval England. Examining these highborn serving women reveals the nuances of soft power, social influence, and economic resources wielded by women who lacked official authority within political institutions or patriarchal households. Dr. Dunn teaches upper level courses on medieval women, crusades and conquests, aristocratic society, and preindustrial food at Clemson University. She received the Dean's award for teaching excellence in 2011 and the John B. and Thelma A. Gentry Award for teaching excellence in the Humanities in 2019. In 2016 Dr. Dunn co-organized the 5th annual Kings and Queens conference, introducing international scholars to Clemson University for the first time that the gathering was held outside of Europe.

Introduction Consider Act II Scene II of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. In this scene, Caesar is at home with his wife Calphurnia, who has just had a bad dream and is pleading with him not to go to the Senate. Caesar initially agrees to stay home but changes his mind after being convinced by Decius Brutus that the dream was misinterpreted and that the Senate needs him to address important matters.

But this probably won't help you predict the logits layer for this prompt. Instead, if your goal is to predict the logits layer, then you should probably learn about Shakespearean dramas, Early Modern English, and the politics of the Late Roman Republic. And maybe someone has already run GPT-4 on this prompt — if your goal is to explain the logits layer, then you should probably learn about Shakespearean dramas, Early Modern English, and the politics of the Late Roman Republic. This is also true if you're trying to construct a prompt which will make GPT-4 output a particular target continuation — if your goal is to control the logits layer, then you should probably learn about Shakespearean dramas, Early Modern English, and the politics of the Late Roman Republic. Dataset vs architecture The output of a neural network is determined by two things: The architecture and training algorithm (e.g. transformers, SGD, cross-entropy) The training dataset (e.g. internet corpus, literature, GitHub code) As a rough rule-of-thumb, if you want to predict/explain the output of GPT-4, then it's far more useful to know about the training dataset than to know about the architecture and training algorithm. In other words, If you want to predict and explain the output of GPT-4 on Haskell code, you need to know Haskell. If you want to predict and explain the output of GPT-4 on Shakespearean dialogue, you need to know Shakespeare. If you want to predict and explain the output of GPT-4 on Esperanto, you need to know Esperanto. If you want to predict and explain the output of GPT-4 on the MMLU benchmark, you need to know the particular facts in the benchmark. I think alignment researchers (and AI researchers more generally) underestimate the extent to which knowledge of the training dataset is currently far more useful for prediction/explanation than knowledge of the architecture and training algorithm. Recall that as the cross-entropy loss of LLM steadily decreases, then the logits of the LLM will asymptotically approach the ground-truth distribution which generated the dataset...

This is: Want to predict/explain/control the output of GPT-4? Then learn about the world, not about transformers., published by Cleo Nardo on March 16, 2023 on LessWrong. Introduction Consider Act II Scene II of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. In this scene, Caesar is at home with his wife Calphurnia, who has just had a bad dream and is pleading with him not to go to the Senate. Caesar initially agrees to stay home but changes his mind after being convinced by Decius Brutus that the dream was misinterpreted and that the Senate needs him to address important matters. CAESAR: The cause is in my will: I will not come; That is enough to satisfy the senate. [...] DECIUS BRUTUS: [...] If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper 'Lo, Caesar is afraid'? Pardon me, Caesar; for my dear dear love To our proceeding bids me tell you this; And reason to my love is liable. CAESAR: How foolish do your fears seem now, Calphurnia!

Advisory: this episode discusses the literary representation of self-harm and suicide, in particular, how writers such as Shakespeare and Milton often treated the subject in unserious or trivializing ways. In 1643, the writer Thomas Browne introduced the word “suicide” into the English language. Eventually, “suicide” would become a monolith in how we think about self-harm and self-killing. “Suicide” has come to represent an individualizing, pathologizing way of looking at people who contemplate ending their lives. But, when Thomas Browne's new word was first used, it was entering a discursive space that was wider and more open to campy humor, slapstick, and misogynistic trolling. This is the argument of an exciting and nuanced book from today's guest, Drew Daniel. The title of the book is Joy of the Worm: Suicide and Pleasure in Early Modern English Literature published by the University of Chicago Press in 2022. Daniel is a Professor of English at Johns Hopkins University, and teaches early modern literature, critical theory, and aesthetics. Joy of the Worm is a fresh, elegantly written exploration of scenes of self-murder (or the contemplation of self-murder) in Antony and Cleopatra, Paradise Lost, and Joseph Addison's Cato, a Tragedy. He is the author of the previous monograph, The Melancholy Assemblage (from Fordham UP), and the 33 1/3 book on Throbbing Gristle's Twenty Jazz Funk Greats. He is also one-half of the electronic band Matmos. John Yargo holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His specializations are early modern literature, the environmental humanities, and critical race studies.

Drew Daniel, "Joy of the Worm: Suicide and Pleasure in Early Modern English Literature" (U Chicago Press, 2022)

Advisory: this episode discusses the literary representation of self-harm and suicide, in particular, how writers such as Shakespeare and Milton often treated the subject in unserious or trivializing ways. In 1643, the writer Thomas Browne introduced the word “suicide” into the English language. Eventually, “suicide” would become a monolith in how we think about self-harm and self-killing. “Suicide” has come to represent an individualizing, pathologizing way of looking at people who contemplate ending their lives. But, when Thomas Browne's new word was first used, it was entering a discursive space that was wider and more open to campy humor, slapstick, and misogynistic trolling. This is the argument of an exciting and nuanced book from today's guest, Drew Daniel. The title of the book is Joy of the Worm: Suicide and Pleasure in Early Modern English Literature published by the University of Chicago Press in 2022. Daniel is a Professor of English at Johns Hopkins University, and teaches early modern literature, critical theory, and aesthetics. Joy of the Worm is a fresh, elegantly written exploration of scenes of self-murder (or the contemplation of self-murder) in Antony and Cleopatra, Paradise Lost, and Joseph Addison's Cato, a Tragedy. He is the author of the previous monograph, The Melancholy Assemblage (from Fordham UP), and the 33 1/3 book on Throbbing Gristle's Twenty Jazz Funk Greats.

with Ambereen Dadabhoy hosted by Maryam Patton and Chris Gratien | William Shakespeare's lifetime overlapped with the height of Ottoman prowess on the world stage, which is partly why so many Turkish characters graced the Elizabethan stage during the 16th and 17th centuries. As our guest Ambereen Dadabhoy explains, the representations of "Turks" and "Moors" in early modern English drama offer a window onto conceptions of race in Europe before the modern period. In this conversation, Dadabhoy shares her experience writing and teaching about race in early modern English literature, and we reflect on the value of Shakespeare for charting connections and transformations in conceptions of Muslim societies from Shakespeare's time to the present. « Click for More »

In this double episode, Aisha Hussain and Sam Brown share their research on early modern Englishmen and their perspective on the Ottoman 'other'. Aisha Hussain is a PhD candidate at the University of Salford whose research interests include of Turkish Otherness, fictional terror, Anglo-Ottoman commerce, gender studies, Orientalism, and, in particular, crusading and anti-crusading discourses in early modern English drama. Her current research investigates how the emergence of a more positive theatrical Turkish type in the works of Fulke Greville, Thomas Goffe and Roger Boyle reflects, in a shift from their contemporaries, what can be considered an anti-crusading discourse. Her paper is entitled, 'Reframing the Crusading Discourse: representations of Roxolana in Fulke Greville's Mustapha (1609) and Roger Boyle's Mustapha (1665)'. She can be emailed at A.Hussain34@edu.salford.ac.uk or followed on Twitter at @AishaHussain96. Sam Brown is in the first year of her PhD studies at UCL's Centre for Editing Lives and Letters. Building on her MA dissertation on the same subject, her project explores the materiality and afterlives of the manuscripts of William Bedwell (1563 - 1632), the first Englishman since the Crusades to dedicate his life to the study of Arabic. Her paper for the MEMSA Crossing Borders, Contesting Boundaries podcast is entitled 'Fear and Loathing in Constantinople: fact versus fiction in the Turkish captivity of Sir Thomas Sherley the Younger'.

The First Noël

Shiloh Worship Music

Our version of "The First Noel" Classic Christmas Carol "The First Nowell" is of Cornish origin. Its current form was first published in Carols Ancient and Modern (1823) and Gilbert and Sandys Carols (1833), both of which were edited by William Sandys and arranged, edited and with extra lyrics written by Davies Gilbert for Hymns and Carols of God. Nowell is an Early Modern English synonym of "Christmas" from French Noël "the Christmas season", ultimately from Latin natalis [dies] "[day] of birth".[4] The word was regularly used in the burden of carols in the middle ages towards the early modern period; Sir Christèmas (Ritson Manuscript)[5], "Nowell sing we now all and some" (Trinity Carol Roll)[6] and "Nowel - out of youre slepe arise and wake" (Selden Carol Book) being 15th century examples.[ The melody is unusual among English folk melodies in that it consists of one musical phrase repeated twice, followed by a refrain which is a variation on that phrase. All three phrases end on the third of the scale. Writing in the Journal of the Folk-Song Society in 1915, Anne Gilchrist notes it was not recorded prior to Sandys' publication. She speculated based on a set of church gallery parts discovered in Westmorland that the tune may have had its origin as a treble part to another carol "Hark, hark what news the angels bring"; her suggestion was that the treble part was passed down orally and was later remembered as the melody rather than a harmony.[8] A conjectural reconstruction of this earlier version can be found in the New Oxford Book of Carols.[9] Today, "The First Nowell" is usually performed in a four-part hymn arrangement by the English composer John Stainer, first published in his Carols, New and Old in 1871. Variations of its theme are included in Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony. American folklorist James Madison Carpenter made audio recordings of several traditional versions of the song in Cornwall in the early 1930s, which can be heard online via the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library.

While it has often been recognized that counsel formed an essential part of the political discourse in early modern England, the precise role that it occupied in the development of political thinking has remained obscure. Counsel and Command in Early Modern English Thought (Cambridge University Press, 2020) establishes the importance of the relationship between political counsel and the discourse of sovereignty. Tracing the changes and evolution of writings on political counsel during the “monarchy of counsel,” from the end of the Wars of the Roses to the end of the English Civil War, Joanne Paul examines English thought in its domestic and transnational context, providing an original account of the relationship between counsel and emerging conceptions of sovereignty. Formed at the conjunction of the history of political thought and English political history, this book grounds textual analysis within the context of court politics, intellectual and patronage networks, and diplomacy.
