  Alexander Dyce - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
ALEXANDER DYCE (1798-1869), English dramatic editor and literary historian, was born in Edinburgh on the 30th of June 1798.
He was associated with Halliwell-Phillips, John Payne Collier and Thomas Wright as one of the founders of the Percy Society, for publishing old English poetry.
His wide reading in Elizabethan literature enabled him to explain much that was formerly obscure in Shakespeare; while his sound judgment was a check to extravagance in emendation.

 Alexander Dyce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Dyce (June 30, 1798 - May 15, 1869) was a Scottish dramatic editor and literary historian.
Dyce was closely connected with several literary societies, and undertook the publication of Kempe's Nine Days' Wonder for the Camden Society; and the old plays of Timon of Athens and Sir Thomas More were published by him for the Shakespeare Society.
By the time of his death, Dyce had collected a valuable library, containing many rare Elizabethan books, and this collection was left to the South Kensington Museum (Victoria and Albert Museum).

 Dyce Collection - Victoria and Albert Museum
The Revd Alexander Dyce was born at Edinburgh in 1798 and died in London in 1869.
Given that Dyce published an 11-volume edition of the works of Beaumont and Fletcher it is unsurprising to find exceptional editions of their works included in his library.
Dyce edited works by John Ford and Robert Green, and almost all the early editions of their plays are in his library.

Now, of the Rev. Alexander Dyce it may be fearlessly asserted that his criticism is not for all time.
Nor can anyone who knows how much the industry and enthusiasm of Dyce did, in his day, for the study of Shakespeare, do more than urge that while, viewed historically, Dyce's criticism is entirely respectable, it happens to be a trifle belated in the year 1894.
They were the right opinions for Chalmers; as Dyce's were the right opinions for Dyce: and if, as we hope, ours is a larger appreciation of Shakespeare, we probably hold it by no merit of our own, but as the common possession of our generation, derived through the chastening experiences of our grandfathers.

 John Skelton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With Garneys he engaged in a regular "flyting," undertaken, he says, at the king's command, but Skelton's four poems read as if the abuse in them were dictated by genuine anger.
He had already in his Boke of the Thre Foles drawn on Alexander Barclay's version of the Narrenschijf of Sebastian Brant, and this more elaborate and imaginative poem belongs to the same class.
Skelton, falling into a dream at Harwich, sees a stately ship in the harbour called the Bowge of Court, the owner of which is the Dame Saunce Pere.

With justice the two collections are often referred to collectively as the Dyce and Forster Collections.
The respective donors were close friends and the transfer of the Dyce Collection to the Museum was overseen by Forster, who was Alexander Dyce's executor.
The Forster Collection is the larger of the two, containing over eighteen thousand books, and took nearly a year and a half to be delivered to the Museum in its entirety.

Both George Steevens and the Reverend Alexander Dyce were comfortably sustained by the wealth their parents had accumulated from the East India Company.
One thread of continuity runs through Alexander Pope and Lewis Theobald, who carried on a vituperative public rivalry in the early eighteenth century but borrowed from each other’s work.
Theobald used Pope’s edition as a base text for his own edition (Murphy, 73); when he was preparing the second edition, Pope incorporated over a hundred of Theobald’s corrections (69).

While understanding of Skelton had remained virtually unchanged since Alexander Dyce's The Poetical Works of John Skelton (1843), Nelson's work was quickly acknowledged as inaugurating a major reassessment of the poet.
His appointment as Rector of Diss had previously been seen as an indication that Skelton had fallen out of favor, but Nelson shows that the rectorship was an appropriate reward for a man who had served as tutor to the future King Henry VIII.
The latter is Nelson's topically organized edition of the English portion of Ms.

And there were, indeed, as I got past the first page, some differences between this early manuscript and the one published.
Some different ordering (mostly at the beginning), some extra material—“Memoir of Dermot Trellis, his youth, being an extract from A Conspectus of the Arts and Natural Sciences on the subject of Dr. Beatty, now in heaven, by the reverend Alexander Dyce, but found on examination to be singularly referable to the life of Trellis.
Serial volume in the Conspectus, the Thirty-seventh,” for example—and other slight variations (Finn having a conversation with Trellis, which might well be of note to the careful At Swim scholar) comprise the most notable changes from the un- to the published versions.

It was in 1829 that Alexander Dyce sent William Wordsworth a selection of poetry by English women intended to become part of an anthology to be called Specimens of British Poetesses.
After reading Dyce's pages, Wordsworth thought about writing a dual portrait which he thought would throw light upon two of the included women.

 The Poetry of Anne Kingsmill Finch, Lady Winchilsea and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
The notion that eighteenth-century poetry is written by people who are "in" and "of" society has been a comforting attempt to normalize and to justify the satiric poets of the period.
The female poetry of Anne Finch and Lady Mary (as well as that of Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, even John Gay) cannot begin to be understood by such naive establishment formulae.
They all denied writing lampoons for there the scapegoating and shaming intent of the poem is all too plain to see.
