  Henry Peacham - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
Incriminating papers had been discovered in the house of Edmond Peacham, rector of Hinton Saint George, who, on being charged with an attack on the king denied the authorship, stating that they were written by a namesake, "a divine, a scholar and a traveller." The change was, however, easily rebutted.
Peacham was a Cavalier, even an ardent polemist in the royal cause, but the central point of his book is a more or less Puritan sentiment of duty.
In his later years Peacham was reduced to extreme poverty, and is said to have written children's books at a penny each.

 Henry Peacham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Peacham is the name shared by two English Renaissance writers who were father and son.
The elder Henry Peacham (1546 - 1634) was an English curate, best known for his treatise on rhetoric titled The Garden of Eloquence first published in 1577.

 Henry Peacham
At present, the Peacham Document is part of the Longleat Portland Papers, and was acquired from the 1st Marchioness of Bath, Elizabeth Cavendish Bentinck, the daughter of the Duchess of Portland.
Henry Peacham junior, the son of the reverend Henry Peacham of North Mimms, was the copyist.
It is, of course, this mistaken belief that Peacham's name on the manuscript is a signature, that has allowed Henry Peacham, the younger, to be identified as the author and artist of the Titus manuscript.

Peacham is hoping people will act more like the virginal stork, and remain around the fire instead of losing their innocence.
Henry Peacham's view of the stork was that it symbolized a pure and loving marriage.
Peacham described the innocence of the stork, and applied it to a proper marriage.

Henry Peacham, 1576-1643, was the clever son of the curate.
Henry Peacham the curate was a good classical scholar and in 1577 published The Garden of Eloquence, a treatise on rhetoric which he dedicated to the Bishop of London.
Henry may have been among those who accompanied the sixteen- year-old princess to her new home in Heidelberg, for his patron, the cultured Earl of Arundel, with his countess, made the journey.

These French academies handed on the tradition that the courts of princes and the houses of great nobles were the natural places of education for those who were to spend their lives in the personal service of the sovereign.
Peacham advises the study of such branches of knowledge as modern history and geography, astronomy, geometry, music, drawing, painting, all with an eye to the needs of the soldier and man of action, for whose benefit physical training in various forms is prescribed.
Peacham exhorts his reader to “forget not to speak and write your own [tongue] properly and eloquently,” and to read “the best and purest English”; to which end a long list of poets and prose-writers is given, including the names of Chaucer, Spenser and Bacon, but omitting Shakespeare’s.

 Peacham's Silence about Shakespeare
Peacham himself knew that he was open to the charge of plagiarism, but seems to have thought that if he plagiarized just so much and no more, then he was all right.
Peacham seems once again to have missed some of the words in Puttenham, and as a result of his sloppiness makes a false attribution (which was not corrected in later editions), while neglecting to mention the translation that Golding was most admired for, his Metamorphoses.
Peacham tells us that the bare list is incomplete: there are "sundry others" he could have but does not name among the Elizabethan poets who have died; if we wish to believe he was fond of Shakespeare's verse, we can imagine Shakespeare was among this group.

 Shakespeare-Oxford Society » Henry Peacham on Oxford and Shakespeare   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
Further, Peacham was associated with Prince Henry prior to his death in 1612, and then, finally, he became associated with the antipode to this fanatically Protestant prince–namely, with the Howard family which was notorious for its pro-Catholic and pro-Spanish sentiments.
Peacham had been a tutor some years earlier for the three older sons and became William’s tutor sometime after August 1620, which strongly suggests that the bulk of this book dedicated to the young man was drafted in 1621.
Peacham’s solution was to honor the true Bard by omitting the pen-name “Shakespeare,” trusting that most educated or sophisticated readers would read Oxford’s name and make the logical connection ontheir own, especially given that a large Folio of his plays would be available within the next year or so.

 Oxfordian Myths: The Oxford Anagram in "Minerva Britanna"
In order to create the second version, Peacham rendered "Dudley" in Latin not as "Dudleia" but as the acceptable alternative "Dudlaeia." Thus it clearly mattered to Peacham that his anagrams were grammatically acceptable, and we may thus reject Dickson's claim that a blunder in Latin would be a sign of an anagram.
Peacham was hardly idiosyncratic in regarding anagrams as a pleasant form of entertainment.
Henry Peacham's name is an anagram of "hyphen camera," the device used by Oxfordians to show that "Shake-speare" was not "Shakespeare." If we add Peacham's title "Mr.

 Elocutio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A great amount of attention was paid to figures of speech, which were classified into various types and sub-types.
One Renaissance writer, Henry Peacham, enumerated 184 different figures of speech, although it could be argued that this was a manifestation of the increasing over-emphasis on style that began in the Renaissance.
Also important to elocutio were subjects we would generally regard as grammatical: the proper use of punctuation and conjunctions; the desirable order of words in a sentence (unlike English, many languages are not as dependent on word order); and the length of sentences.

 The Minerva Britanna Project at Middlebury College
The fact that Henry Peacham's date of birth and death are both unconfirmed is a testament to the mystery that has shrouded his life.
Therefore, many of the people who question the accepted history of Shakespeare have used the Peacham document to suggest that the play was written several years before any of the Bard's other early plays, and thus can not be his work.
According to Peacham the book was about the "most necessary and commendable qualities concerning minde or bodie that may be required in a noble gentleman" (http://www.worldbookdealers.com/press/pr/pr0000000258.asp).

 Untitled Document
The possibility that Peacham's Minerva might comment on the "Shakespeare" question-that great arcanum of the Elizabethan and Stuart monarchies-was discussed as early as 1937 by Eva Turner Clarke in her book, The Man Who Was Shakespeare, although Clarke was apparently not aware of the image of Minerva "spinning" her spear in Peacham's Latin verses.
Emblem #180 (figure 9)in Peacham's book depicts a cipher wheel-a state -of-the-art encoding device, much like a modern combination lock, which was used for the encoding of diplomatic secrets during the 16th century and which was for all practical purposes, at that time, an unbreakable method of enciphering secrets.
Henry Peacham, they will say, would never have been as clever or devious as the solution of discovering this "i" on another page of the book implies.

Henry Chettle publishes the comment, and later apologises for it.
Peacham was around nineteen years old at the time.
On March 10 Shakespeare bought "from Henry Walker a gatehouse at Blackfriars for the amount of £140 and entrusted this property to the actor John Heminges and two other men, John Jackson and William Johnson, whom Leslie Hotson identifies as acquaintances of Heminges's, Johnson being the owner of the famous Mermaid inn.

 [No title]
Henry Peacham, who contributed much to the popular mythology surrounding Henry, Prince of Wales with his Minerva Brittanicum, celebrated the birth of the "swarthy" Henry Frederick, whom Elizabeth called "my little fl babie," with a long poem Prince Henry Revived (Lewalski 54; Williamson 191).
The figuring of Frederick as a surrogate for Prince Henry is apparent in the body of elegiac literature and in contemporary drama.
Prince Henry's last vestiges appear in civic pageantry early in the reign of Charles I, and Princess Elizabeth, forbidden to return to England until 1661, saw only portraits of her father.

 HOASM: Henry Peacham, from The Compleat Gentleman
Henry Peacham (1576?-1643?), educated at Cambridge, was an author and man of varied talents.
Music, in Peacham's view, was one of the truly important accomplishments for the well-bred gentleman, along with scholarly pursuits and manly arts.
Peacham himself may very likely have had musical talent, for he was a friend of John Dowland and moved in musical circles.

Some twenty years later, Henry Peacham the younger noted this in connection with Byrd, at the very end of the composer's long life: 'being of himself naturally disposed to gravity and piety his vein is not so much for light madrigals or canzonets' (The Compleat Gentleman, 1622).
Peacham stresses that the specific compositional figures used by musicians are identical to the rhetorical ones used by poets.
This is not all, for in his prose speeches the ideas are less developed, and indeed are not designed for much developing, whereas in his role as poetical prince the ideas are full of gravitas, announced, developed, expanded and brought to fulfilment.

 The Minerva Britanna Project at Middlebury College
Peacham dedicates Minerva Britanna with a praising letter to Prince Henry, hoping that he would accept the emblem book.
He deeply respects the king, and addresses his letter to "the right high and mighty Henry, eldest son of our sovereign Lord the king, Prince of Wales, and knight of the most noble order of the garter." This is his first reference of giving him a godly status.
As Bath points out, "the book appeared at a significant moment, dedicated to Prince Henry who was to later die that very year, 1612." The book gained popularity as people mourned Henry's death, and looked to Peacham as "a faithful representative of the cultural aspirations surrounding the Henrican court…".

And although fĂȘted by contemporary poets and musicians of his day, it was only in 1612 that he finally achieved his life's ambition with an appointment to the court of King James.
Ironically it only came after the publication of a poem by his friend and admirer Henry Peacham, which took the English court to task for its failure to appreciate the musical gem in their midst:

Following the death of his father, the 18th earl of Oxford, Henry de Vere, participated in the formation of a Protestant resistance to a proposed English alliance with Catholic Spain.
Henry Peacham, in The Compleat Gentleman [1622], praised Oxford above all other writers among the Golden Age writers during the reign of Queen Elizabeth — and his list makes no mention of any William Shakespeare.

Henry Peacham is best remembered for a book he wrote in 1606 titled The Art of Drawing.
Picture, or painting in generall, is an art which either by draught of bare lines, lively colours, cutting out or embossing, expresseth any thing the like by the same: which we may find in the Holy Scriptures both Allowed, and highly commended by the mouth of God himself.
This drawing, or "draught of bare lines" to quote Peacham, is a fine example of the kind of moral imagery favoured by the artist.

An educated person of the time was expected to perform music more than just fairly well, and an inability in this area might elicit whispered comments regarding lack of genteel upbringing, not only in the ability to take one's part in a madrigal, but also in knowing the niceties of musical theory.
Henry Peacham wrote in The Compleat Gentleman in l662 that one of the fundamental qualities of a gentleman was to be able to “sing your part sure, and...to play the same upon your viol.”
Outside the walls of court could be heard street songs, lighthearted catches, and ballads, all of which indicates that music was not confined to the cathedrals or court.
