CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Edmund Campion Campion shone at Oxford in 1560, when he delivered one oration at the reburial of Amy Robsart, and another at the funeral of the founder of his own college; and for twelve years he was to be followed and imitated as no man ever was in an English university except himself and Newman. Amid scenes of violent excitement, Campion was derisively paraded through the streets of his native city, bound hand and foot, riding backwards, with a paper stuck in his hat to denote the "seditious Jesuit". Campion was met in London, and fitly clothed, armed, and mounted by a devoted young convert friend. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05293c.htm   (1474 words)

Jane Campion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Campion attended the Australian Film Television and Radio School early in its history, where she learned the craft that has resulted in a career that spans 14 films as director, three as producer and eight as writer. Jane Campion (born April 30, 1954 in Wellington, New Zealand) is a film director. She is one of the most internationally successful New Zealand directors, although most of her work has been made in or financed by other countries, principally Australia––where she now lives––and the USA. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jane_Campion   (322 words)

In Search of Shakespeare . Edmund Campion PBS Campion was comprehensively tortured and, despite mounting a defiant and intelligent defence, was hanged, drawn and quartered in December 1581. Campion and his followers spread across England for a whole year, hiding in Catholic safe houses across the land, preaching their counter-revolutionary message, and generally staying a footfall ahead of the government's massed network of informers and agents. Campion's message was inflammatory and dangerous – from now on, it was not acceptable for Catholics to attend Protestant church even in the name of self-preservation. www.pbs.org /shakespeare/players/player22.html   (473 words)

A pleasure to watch: Jane Campion's narrative cinema Campion, however, is extraordinary and complex in her use of a sympathetic, or non-judgmental spotlight upon most of her male characters, especially as she is exposing the roots of violence in them. There is, in Campion's films, an aesthetic at work which aims at re-visioning and refashioning images of the feminine, refusing to censure the actions of her women in the interests of upholding the ideal of the classical body with its limited repertoire of gestures, poses and expressions. Campion's construction of an active female gaze is an important strategy through which she is able to invoke female desire as more than simply narcissistic, inwardly focussed and magnetic (in the sense of attracting the desire of others). www.latrobe.edu.au /screeningthepast/firstrelease/fr0301/sgfr12a.htm   (6026 words)

Boston Review: Jane Campion's The Piano (film review) Campion is interested in Sweetie for all of the anthropological reasons that would repel an "escapist" movie audience and makes no effort to prettify her. Campion was also trained as a social anthropologist, however, and that training -- particularly the work of Levi-Strauss -- has had a profound impact on her directorial imagination. Campion has put these dreams together like pearls on a string, except that each of her pearls is distinct and memorable. www.bostonreview.net /BR19.1/stone.html   (4439 words)

CD Review Campion's metrical dexterity as poet is musically enacted as he 'wanders astray' through 'all-confounding night', stumbling like a blind, or maybe a drunken, man. But the final clause begins low and rises as the uncertainty of earthy mists aspires to the certainty of God's love. Although Campion's art is politely civilised, it has considerable variety of mood and profits from the fact that the music, being homophonic with a tune at the top, never gets in the way of the words. Even so, one relishes Campion's songs as adornments of the good life, and notes that he is unique among composers of lute ayres in that he set (apart from a handful of hymns) no verses but his own. www.mvdaily.com /articles/1999/05/campion.htm   (554 words)

Todd M. Aglialoro Campion was 13 and the most promising scholar at Christ's Hospital school in London when he was chosen to read an address to Mary Tudor upon her arrival in London as queen in 1553. Campion was eloquent and persuasive to the last, dominating the entire procedure with the force of his logic and his knowledge of the Scripture and law, but in vain. Campion received a scholarship to Oxford at age 15, and, by the time Elizabeth rose to power ("restoring" Protestantism as the national religion) upon Mary's death in 1558, he was already a junior fellow. www.ewtn.com /library/MARY/CAMPION.htm   (1334 words)

Jane Campion: A Complete Retrospective Her increasingly psychotic tantrums are given counterpoint by Campion's oddball but unobtrusive editing, compositions, and camera angles (shot from under beds or the upper corners of rooms, the film seems observed from the point of view of a naughty child or a flighty imp). Although she didn't write the script, Campion's personal touch can be seen in the film's offbeat narrative structure -- it's a series of episodes going back in time -- and its themes of social repression, conformity, rebellion, and the limits of communication and reconciliation. But Campion's indirection, her bemused, unsettling insight, and her cumulative, meditative narrative frame her subject's sensibility, genius, and triumph, as does Kerry Fox's brave and wise performance. www.bostonphoenix.com /archive/movies/99/01/28/JANE_CAMPION_A_COMPLETE_RE.html   (1466 words)

§1. His Life. VIII. Thomas Campion. Vol. 4. Prose and Poetry: Sir Thomas North to Michael Drayton. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21 His father, John Campion, was a member of the Middle Temple, and, by profession, one of the cursitors of the chancery court, the clerks “of course” (who made out the writs de cursu according to the procedure requisite in the various districts). It was divided into two parts, the first set to airs composed by Campion himself, who thus made his first appearance as a musician, and the second to the airs of Philip Rosseter, musician and theatrical manager and Campion’s lifelong friend. It has been thought by some that, in view of the fact that a large number of Campion’s best friends were adherents to the older faith, and that he did not dissemble a distaste for puritans and puritanism, he was himself a Catholic. www.bartleby.com /214/0801.html   (988 words)

Directors: Jane Campion Her father was an opera and theater director and her mother an actress, and Campion herself graduated with a BA in anthropology from Victoria University of Wellington in 1975, and then got a BA in painting at Sydney College of the Arts in 1979. It is as if, looking at the great beauty and dignity that Winslet brings to her performance, Campion in the end did not have the heart to allow the unhappy ending that the material logically demanded, but instead preferred to spare and honor her characters. In the movie version, as opposed to TV mini-series, of her story, Frame is told that to be a successful writer she must write a bestseller, material success being equated by the fatuous man who tells her this with artistic triumph. www.cinemonkey.com /reviews/holmcampion/jcampion.html   (819 words)

Jane Campion Campion's eagerly awaited follow-up to The Piano, her 1996 adaptation of Henry James' novel The Portrait of a Lady (written in 1881), drew criticism for its modernising impulses and liberal treatment of James' classic text, and for the coldness of its characters despite the sumptuous Italian locations and art direction. Campion employs the kitsch stylings of 1970s pop culture to great comic effect in her portrayal of PJ Waters and her sense of humour is unforgiving in the presentation of Ruth's family, particularly her sister-in-law Yvonne (Sophie Lee). Campion's heroines are characterised by their refusal to conform to these roles, which often results in a stubbornness that leads them into direct conflict with husbands, fathers, brothers and other women complicit with the patriarchal order. www.sensesofcinema.com /contents/directors/02/campion.html   (4608 words)

Allusions to Edmund Campion in Twelfth Night Though Edmund Campion (1540-1581) was a scholar at Oxford University under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I's court favorite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Campion's studies of theology, church history, and the church fathers led him away from the positions taken by the Church of England. From Campion's point of view, to satisfy the new orthodoxy of the Church of England, a reconstructionist interpretation of church history was being set forth, one chat he found difficult to reconcile with what he actually found in the writings of those fathers [2]. Likewise, Campion, first during his days at Oxford and then at his conferences, was expected to provide answers which, by his view, were illogical and indefensible, but which accorded with the needs of the political powers of the day. www.everreader.com /allusio3.htm   (4264 words)

The Life of Thomas Campion (1567-1620) Campion died in London, probably of the plague, on March 1, 1620, and was buried at St. Dunstan's-in-the-West. Campion's parents died when he was still a boy, but they left enough money to send him to Peterhouse College, Cambridge, in 1581. Campion was first published in 1591, when five of his songs appeared in Newman's unauthorized edition of Sidney's Astrophel and Stella. www.luminarium.org /renlit/campbio.htm   (463 words)

Campion Hall Campion Hall thus hopes to serve the Church and humanity by making available to seminarians, priests and members of religious orders the possibility of studying at Oxford University and benefiting from all its educational and cultural facilities, while living in an environment which fosters their religious vocation. Campion Hall, like the other Colleges and Halls, can admit students into the University for almost all B.A. subjects (It is worth noting that the M.A. is automatically conferred on the holder of a B.A. within four years after he has completed the latter, without further study). Campion Hall was designed expressly to house people studying at the University and is situated right among the University buildings. www.campion.ox.ac.uk   (411 words)

Views From Beyond the Mirror: The Films of Jane Campion by Sue Gillett Gillett sees Campion's triumph in her refusal to impose a certainty on the representation of incest within a dysfunctional family in which two sisters are turned against each other by the seemingly unintentional domination of mother and daughters by the father. Campion creates her own version of the screen as mirror, one that counters the tendency of the screen to function as an intimidating reflection of perfection, in order to illuminate our complicity in our own subjection when we attempt to conform to a patriarchal feminine ideal. Gillett's intention is to assess Campion's part in the modern struggle to forge a woman's point of view for mass distributed cinema and she praises Campion for crafting a “visual language for female subjectivities”, without denying the asymmetrical gender power imbalances in patriarchal Western society. sensesofcinema.com /contents/books/05/35/jane_campion_sue_gillett.html   (1969 words)

ASSOCIATED CREDIT SERVICES, INC. v.MICHAEL P. CAMPION When it later was assigned the "Michael P. Campion" debt on which it initiated garnishment proceedings, it did not cross-check its Mike P. Campion file where it would have found the "Michael P. Campion" notice of bankruptcy and recollected that it had already filed a proof of claim with respect to another debt. Since the 2000 obligation was in the name of Michael P. Campion, and the defendant's file on the 1999 obligation, which contained the notice of bankruptcy filings, was in the name of Mike P. Campion, the computer did not link the two accounts. Campion accepted Associated Credit's offer of judgment and, once the judgment had been entered, moved for attorney's fees on the premise that § 362(h) entitled him to such an award. www.ce9.uscourts.gov /Web/bap.nsf/0/EAE608A61A3D702888256D4A00780BF1   (1967 words)
