William Sharp

TIL about William Sharp, aka Fiona Macleod's Tochmarc Étaíne play (subsequently adapted into an opera), which is....um. Interesting in how it adapts the material.

#here's the thing to understand about Fiona Macleod: there is always a hint of REAL material in her work. (or. maybe not always.)#But it's almost always overtaken by her own fantasies #including a VERY questionable understanding of how the Irish language works (which is how you get HP Lovecraft's bungled Irish in #The Rats in the Wall)#(she's also interesting from the perspective of trans history since...it's not CERTAIN because of the gap in vocabulary)#(but...I do think that there was Something Gender going on here)#(beyond just wanting a Celtsona)#on the note of terminology and trans identity: I differentiate between the two of them and use he/him and she/her pronouns respectively #because that's what he used #but I also am doing it with the awareness that if William Sharp was born today he might have chosen something different #Fiona Macleod #William Sharp #tochmarc étaíne

Shakespeare Weekend

Edmond Malone’s (1741-1812) The Plays and Poems of William Shakspeare, in ten volumes, published in 1790 and printed by Henry Baldwin, begins its tenth volume with a full-page frontispiece of the 3rd Earl of Southampton, Henry Wriothesley (1573-1624) followed by a dedication to him written by Shakespeare and several verses written in Wriothesley’s memory by Shakespeare’s contemporaries before opening with Venus and Adonis. The frontispiece was engraved by William Sharp (1749-1824) from a painting by Dutch artist Michiel Janszoon van Mierevelt (1566-1641).

A second dedication to Wriothesley by Shakespeare appears before The Rape of Lucrece. While extravagant dedications were not unusual at the time, several scholars speculate about the relationship between the two men. English essayist Nathan Drake (1766-1836) proposed that the Earl was the Fair Youth of Shakespeare’s Sonnets and English poet Willam Davenant (1606-1668) chalked the adoration up to Wriothesley patronizing Shakespeare’s work.

Volume Ten concludes with a thorough appendix, including sheet music Malone inserted at the request of a “musical friend”, and a full glossarial index.
