Authors:Roberts D. Pages: 95 - 112 Abstract: The raw material for a discussion of the relationship between Beethoven and Shakespeare is well established. When Beethoven was a child in Bonn, he went to the theatre, where the resident theatre company of the elector Max Friedrich had Shakespeare in its repertory: Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, Richard III, and The Merry Wives of Windsor (Die Lüstige Witwe von Windsor) are all known to have been acted there.11 Beethoven later acquired the twelve-volume translation of Shakespeare by Johann Joachim Eschenburg, published during the 1770s and an extension of an earlier attempt by Christophe Martin Wieland. Beethoven would go on to recommend the more faithful translations by August Wilhelm Schlegel, which came out from 1798, offering to send them to his friend Therese Malfatti in 1810; he appears to have done the same for the family of Fanny Gianattasio del Rio.22 He himself needed his translations. His English was not up to writing letters in that language or reading the particular version of it practised by Shakespeare, although he did set English verse to music and appears to have admired the poetry of James Thomson, whose Seasons had been set by Haydn; when required to write to London correspondents, Beethoven did so in rather uneven French.33 PubDate: Fri, 14 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT DOI: 10.1093/camqtly/bfz001 Issue No:Vol. 48, No. 2 (2019)
Authors:Kelly J. Pages: 113 - 132 Abstract: Virginia Woolf’s novelMrs Dalloway, published on 14 May 1925, depicts upper-middle-class society in the aftermath of the Great War (1914–18). The significance of fifty years is gathered up through description of a single day.11 In the evening there is an awkward meeting of minds at a party when Professor Brierly and ‘little’ Jim Hutton quarrel over the poet and polemicist John Milton (1608–74).22 This short scene generally escapes attention from Woolf’s editors and critics while the author herself describes it as ‘an attempt at literary criticism’.33 Its interest and its importance justify its inclusion in full: PubDate: Fri, 14 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT DOI: 10.1093/camqtly/bfz006 Issue No:Vol. 48, No. 2 (2019)
