§2. "Locrine:" points of resemblance to "The Spanish Tragedie". X. Plays of Uncertain Authorship Attributed to ... A feature of the play, pointed out by Crawford 3 and by Koeppel, 4 and discussed in an earlier chapter, is that some of its verses reappear almost unchanged in Selimus (1594), and, also, that both of these plays have imported a number of verses from Spenser’s Ruines of Rome, published in 1591. But, if Locrine, as verse, diction and plot construction lead us to suppose, was written before 1590, it is probable that the lines borrowed from Spenser do not belong to the original edition, but only to the revised version of 1595. The story of Locrine, which is also told by Lodge in his Complaint of Elstred and by Spenser in his Faerie Queene 5 was found by the playwright in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Britonum and the Chronicles of Holinshed. www.bartleby.com /215/1002.html   (599 words)

§19. The relations between "Locrine" and "Selimus". IV. Early English Tragedy. Vol. 5. The Drama to 1642, Part ... It is pointed out that the comic scene in Locrine, 32 which is paralleled in Selimus, stands alone in the latter play, while, in Locrine, there is much other low humour of the same kind in connection with the same characters. A consideration of the whole passage in Locrine and its relation to the parallel lines in Selimus and the Complaints bears out the contention that the borrowings from the Complaints in Selimus were made through Locrine. Selimus was later than Locrine, from which it copied, and, as Greene died on 3 September, 1592, this brings the issue of his authorship of the play within narrow limits. www.bartleby.com /215/0419.html   (1088 words)

The Legend of Sabrina His eldest son, Locrine, took the part which is now England; the second son, Camber, took the part which is now Wales; and the youngest, Albanact, took what is now Scotland. Locrine led the fight against the invader, and Humber was beaten, and drowned in the river which is now named after him. However, as Locrine was already engaged to Guendolen, daughter of Corineus, this was scandalous. www.geocities.com /Athens/Academy/5386/sabrina.htm   (307 words)

Locrine Locrine remarks that "Tears cannot raise him from the dead again" (V.ii.20) and asks where Guendoline is. Thrasimachus reports that she is in Cornwall, preparing their father's funeral. Thrasimachus is dismayed at Locrine's behavior and warns of vengeance. Locrine imperialistically chides him as an upstart and, surprisingly, a "beardless boy" (V.ii.45), but Thrasimachus says he is not afraid of "taunting words of a venerean squire" (V.ii.55). www.wsu.edu:8001 /~delahoyd/shakespeare/locrine5.html   (1246 words)

Sabrina: A Hypothetical Brythonic Goddess, also known as Severn, Hafren, Habrena (Fast[-flowing] River) Sbrina is a figure known both from classical sources and from just-so story related by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia Regum Britanniae and relates to the tale of Locrinus, a son of Brutus the Trojan, supposed eponymous founder of Britain. The land of Britain was divided amongst Brutus' sons, with Locrine, the eldest, gaining Lloegrys (Lloegr, England), Camber gaining Cymru and the youngest son, Albanact gaining Alban (Scotland). Locrine fell instantly in love with her, but he was already promised to Corineus' daughter, Gwenddolen. www.celtnet.org.uk /gods_s/sabrina.html   (654 words)

§1. Classification of extant Plays. X. Plays of Uncertain Authorship Attributed to Shakespeare. Vol. 5. The Drama ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07) First, plays which were published during Shakespeare’s lifetime with his name, or initials, upon the title-page: Locrine (published in 1595); The first part of the … life of Sir John Oldcastle (1600); The whole life and death of Thomas Lord Cromwell (1602); The London Prodigall (1605); The Puritane (1607); A Yorkshire Tragedy (1608); Pericles (1609). The Senecan tragedy of vengeance is represented by Locrine; the history or chronicle play by Edward III, The First Part of the Contention, The True Tragedie, The Troublesome Raigne of John, King of England, Sir Thomas More and Cromwell, and, less precisely, by The Birth of Merlin and Faire Em. The romantic comedy of the period is illustrated by Mucedorus, The Merry Devill and The Two Noble Kinsmen, while The London Prodigall and The Puritane are types of that realistic bourgeois comedy which, in Stewart days, won a firm hold upon the affections of the play-going community. www.bonus.com /contour/bartlettqu/http@@/www.bartleby.com/215/1001.html   (925 words)

Locrine The full title, however misleading and inadequate (Maxwell 39), is The Lamentable Tragedy of Locrine, the Eldest Son of King Brutus, discoursing the wars of the Britons and Huns, with their discomfiture, the Britons' victory with their accidents, and the death of Albanact. Locrine seems to have belonged to the Queen's Men despite the absence of any record of performance. Brutus crowns Locrine: "Then now, my son, thy part is on the stage, / For thou must bear the person of a king" (I.ii.187-188). www.wsu.edu /~delahoyd/shakespeare/locrine1.html   (1337 words)

Locrine hears some shrieking, and two soldiers lead in Estrild, who bemoans her fate in the hands of her enemies: "I must abide the victor's insolence" (IV.ii.63).

Sabrina on the River Severn The eldest son, Locrine, took the part which is now England, the second son, Camber, took a part, which is now Wales and the youngest son, Albanact, took a part, now known as Scotland. King Locrine of Loegria as he now was, led the fight against these invaders and succeeded in beating Humber, who was eventually killed by drowning in the river now named after him.

Cues & All: the library: William Shakespeare Shakespeare is believed to have written parts of the text, and perhaps to have revised the play as a whole. Locrine is one of many plays previously ascribed to Shakespeare, but no longer accepted as such. A Yorkshire Tragedy, no longer generally believed to be Shakespeare's work, now shares the Apocryphal status of plays such as Locrine and Cromwell. www.cuesandall.com /library/will.html   (1180 words)

[No title] For the last of the 7 dubious play, Locrine, act intervals were present from the first printing and Rowe simply had to reproduce them from his F4 copy. This is not a trivial alteration, for it implies (as Pope's edition had) a sense of editorial duty to cover a field and marks a growing distance from dilettantism. Theobald never says so, but the implication of his procedure is that the bits of the doubtful plays that he thinks are clearly Shakespeare are those bits that he chooses to use as parallel passages to support his emendation. www.gabrielegan.com /publications/Egan2004j.htm   (4409 words)

Doubtful Plays of Shakespeare Steevens admits at last, in some degree, that they are Shakespeare's, as well as the others, except Locrine, but he speaks of all of them with great contempt, as quite worthless productions. Locrine and The London Prodigal, if they were Shakespeare's at all, must have been among the sins of his youth. Arden of Feversham contains several striking passages, but the passion which they express is rather that of a sanguine temperament than of a lofty imagination; and in this respect they approximate more nearly to the style of other writers of the time than to Shakespeare's. www.theatrehistory.com /british/shakespeare029.html   (1850 words)

Thomas Bulfinch : Bulfinch's Mythology : Chapter II. The Mythical History of England Locrine had the middle part, Camber the west, called Cambria from him, and Albanact Albania, now Scotland. This matter was kept secret while Corineus lived, but after his death Locrine divorced Guendolen, and made Estrildis his queen. Guendolen caused her rival, Estrildis, with her daughter Sabra, to be thrown into the river, from which cause the river thenceforth bore the maiden's name, which by length of time is now changed into Sabrina or Severn. www.classicreader.com /read.php/sid.2/bookid.2823/sec.45   (2617 words)

Siol nan Gaidheal: The Neo-Galfridian Conceit In the Galfridian conceit, drawn from a fabricated past in which the island of Britain is ruled by three brothers, Locrine in England, Albanact in Scotland and Camber in Wales, the English are accorded ascendancy over the other two peoples on the basis of Locrine's seniority. The mythic genealogy which Tudor fantasists had traced leading from Henry to Locrine was used to affirm a British union without conceding English superiority over the junior and hence dependent territories of Scotland and Wales. The supposed discovery of the New World in 1170 by the Welsh prince Madoc was also used as the basis of including the Americas in the empire of Arthurian fantasy. www.siol-nan-gaidheal-canada.com /galfridian.htm   (575 words)
