' Don Cameron Allen, "On Venus and Adonis',' Elizabethan and Jacobean Studies Presented to Frank Percy Wilson, ed. Herbert Davis and Helen Gardner (Oxford 1959), p. 100; on Adonis' unwillingness, see also T. W. Baldwin, On the Literary Genetics of Shakespeare's Poems and Sonnets (Urbana 1950); Geoffrey Bullough, Narrative and Dramatic Sources of Shakespeare, I (New York 1957), p. 7; William Keach, Elizabethan Erotic Narratives (New Brunswick, N. J. 1977), and S. Clark Hulse, "Shakespeare's Myth of Venus and Adonis," Proceediyigs of the Modern Language Association 93 (1978). The one exception is A. Robin Bowers, " 'Hard Armours' and 'Delicate Amours' in Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis," Shakespeare Suniey 12 (1979), who argues Adonis does acquiesce by kissing Venus and is, therefore, destroyed by the boar, a symbol of lust. Bowers' allegorical reading fails to explain why, if Venus herself represents lust, she so vehemently opposes Adonis' hunting of the boar; he also ignores Venus' jealousy and confessed frustration in lines 597-98; 607-10; J. D. Jahn presents a more convincing argument that Adonis, though reluctant, nevertheless tempts Venus in "The Lamb of Lust: The Role of Adonis in Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis," Shakespeare Sun'ey 6 (1972). The willing Adonis of earlier myth can be found in Orphic Hymns, No. 56; Theocritus, Idylls, 1,3, 15; Bion, "Epitaphium Adonidis"; Hyginus, Fabulae, 164, 271; and Fulgentius, Mythologia, IIL For a summary of earlier criticism and major issues raised by Venus and Adonis,

متن کاملTwo tough nuts to crack: did Shakespeare write the 'Shakespeare' portions of Sir Thomas More and Edward III? Part I
Using ‘new-optics’ stylometric measures of comparative Shakespeare discrepancy we calculate the odds that the ‘Shakespeare’ scenes in STMO and Edw3 could have come by chance from a person of Shakespeare’s writing habits. For STMO, if written in the 1600’s, the ‘Shakespeare’ Hand D-plus verse portion is seven to 26 times less likely to be Shakespeare’s than Shakespeare’s own farthest-outlier bas...

Intended for that, in the present study, species-specific, sequence-characterized amplified regions (SCAR) markers were developed for proficient and precise identification of closely related species ...
