Esta antología reúne una serie de fragmentos a los que distintas obras de Shakespeare hacen referencia —directa o indirectamente— pertenecientes a dos de sus fuentes principales. Si tomamos a Shakespeare como punto nodal, lo podemos pensar de manera retrospectiva: de qué modo Shakespeare está efectuando sus lecturas y modificaciones del pasado. Pero también tomarlo de manera proyectiva y pensar de qué modo Shakespeare es tomado por otros y de qué modo va a ser modificado a lo largo de la historia de la literatura inglesa.

It is no time to discourse, so Chrish saue me: the day is hot, and the Weather, and the Warres, and the King, and the Dukes: it is no time to discourse, the Town is beseech'd: and the Trumpet call vs to the breech; and we talke, and be Chrish do nothing, tis shame for vs all: 2 So lamentiert Shakespeares einziger Ire. Ihm wird zuviel geredet, er würde lieber Hälse aufschlitzen, wie er verkündet. Unter Elisabeth I. wurde über Irland und den Krieg dort reichlich geredet, und auch viele der schriftlichen Äußerungen zu den Problemen der Kolonie wurden in Form von Gesprächen verfasst. Dass in diesen Gesprächen der Irlandkonflikt schon zu einem so frühen Zeitpunkt als ein ‚historischer' thematisiert und erklärt wurde, verortet sie im Kontext Tudor-zeitlicher Geschichtsdarstellungen. Dort nehmen sie sowohl im Hinblick auf ihren Gegenstand, die Kolonie Irland, wie auch auf ihre Form, die der Gesprächsfiktion, eine Sonderstellung ein. Um diese Texte soll es hier gehen. Einleitend ist auf die historische Situation und den elisabethanischen Irlanddiskurs in der Literatur einzugehen; dann soll der Stand der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung zum englischen Renaissancedialog kurz skizziert werden. Darauf aufbauend möchte ich schließlich anhand einiger ausgewählter Texte meine Überlegungen zur Rolle des Dialogs in diesem kolonialen Konflikt des ausgehenden 16. Jahrhunderts vorstellen.

Currently, the bacterial resistance, especially to most commonly used antibiotics has proved to be a severe therapeutic problem. Nosocomial and community-acquired infections are usually caused by multidrug resistant strains. Therefore, we are forced to develop an alternative or supportive treatment for successful cure of life-threatening infections. The idea of using natural bacterial pathogens such as bacteriophages is already well known. Many papers have been published proving the high antibacterial efficacy of lytic phages tested in animal models as well as in the clinic. Researchers have also investigated the application of non-lytic phages and temperate phages, with promising results. Moreover, the development of molecular biology and novel generation methods of sequencing has opened up new possibilities in the design of engineered phages and recombinant phage-derived proteins. Encouraging performances were noted especially for phage enzymes involved in the first step of viral infection responsible for bacterial envelope degradation, named depolymerases. There are at least five major groups of such enzymes – peptidoglycan hydrolases, endosialidases, endorhamnosidases, alginate lyases and hyaluronate lyases – that have application potential. There is also much interest in proteins encoded by lysis cassette genes (holins, endolysins, spanins) responsible for progeny release during the phage lytic cycle. In this review, we discuss several issues of phage and phage-derived protein application approaches in therapy, diagnostics and biotechnology in general.

When considering the Tudor dynasty and how it was depicted in sixteenth and early seventeenth-century chronicles, one the most compelling issues is that of succession. This chapter considers the importance of the pregnancies, births of heirs to the throne and other royal children, and the difference in depiction between male and female heirs as is seen in English histories printed during or shortly after the Tudor era. The focus of the chapter will be on the Tudor dynasty, starting with the seven children of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York; continuing with the pregnancies, miscarriages, and childhoods of the heirs born by the first three wives of Henry VIII; and ending with the two phantom pregnancies of Mary Tudor. There is an examination of the narratives of the children in a number of chronicles, including Holinshed’s Chronicles and Foxe’s Acts and Monuments, and works by Edward Hall, John Stow, Richard Grafton, William Martyn, Richard Baker, Polydore Vergil, and Giovanni Biondi. The chapter especially highlights the political, religious, and gender issues that intertwined with the topic of producing a healthy royal heir. Moreover, this chapter illuminates how various authors handled the complicated task of relating such a sensitive issues as pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, the death of an heir, and the significance of the gender of a royal child.

Largely except for Arthurian romance and Boudicca, much of what early modern Englishmen read and understood as explanations for their national origins has long since faded from popular knowledge. Moreover, even royal women, those at the top of the social-political hierarchy, have been forgotten, even though they had exciting stories and long-term cultural impact. Indeed, Albine and her thirty-two sisters, the daughters of King Dioclesian, and Gwendolyn, Cornish wife of King Locrine, while mythological foreign invaders of England, have had substantial impacts in British culture and history. This chapter examines their medieval roots and cultural significance, particularly through the lens of early modern reader response and historical context, showing why audiences turned away in the seventeenth century, forgetting this complex past.

A blog report on the lecture and preparatory work for the Culture Night talk "Shakespeare’s Sources & the Boole Library’s Resources". This talk took place in UCC in September 2016. Blog post for The River-side Blog, UCC Library.
In this unique event for Culture Night 2016, Dr Edel Semple, Lecturer in Shakespeare Studies, delivered a public lecture on “Shakespeare’s Sources and the Boole Library’s Resources” in UCC's Boole Library. This illustrated talk explored Shakespeare’s use of his sources and offered an insight into book history using the Library’s rare, early printed books. A range of texts was examined from the history book the Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland by Holinshed that Shakespeare consulted for Richard II and Henry V, to The Discovery of Witchcraft which influenced Macbeth, to John Lyly’s comedies that inspired Shakespeare’s romantic comedies. The talk was part of the British Council “Shakespeare Lives” programme that commemorates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death this year.

Through an examination of marginalia, this paper will highlight readers’ interest in a variety of mythological, medieval, and early modern queens in England, including Queens Elizabeth I, Mary Tudor, Queen Emma of Normandy, Empress Matilda, and Queen Isabelle of France, the wife of Edward II. By focusing on what early modern readers were writing in these histories, it expands earlier scholarly efforts that focus upon only one of these histories, on one author’s set of works, or on queenship from other perspectives and sources. The paper will cover a variety of manuscript and print histories including the late medieval manus cript Brut Chronicle, William Caxton’s Chronicles of England (1480s), John Hardyng’s Chronicle (1543), Edward Hall’s Chronicle (1550), Cooper’s Chronicle (1565), Raphael Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1577, 1587), and several of John Stow’s works from the sixteenth and early seventeenth century.
