		Buggeswords: Samuel Harsnett and the licensing, suppression and afterlife of Dr. John Hayward's 'The First Part of the Life and Reign of King Henry IV.'
		What brings Hayward and Harsnett together (other than the fact, as we shall see, that they were at college together in Cambridge) is that Harsnett was the man who granted a licence to Hayward's book, an action which had far-reaching, and potentially fatal, consequences for both of them.
		Harsnett was already thirty-seven, had spent most of his adult life at Cambridge University and was (as we shall see) no stranger to theological controversy.

	Gwynneth Bowen - Hackney, Harsnett and the Devils in "King Lear"
		His name was Samuel Harsnett; he was at the time Vicar of Chigwell, and eventually rose to be Archbishop of York, so quite a lot is known about him.
		This was the "booke of Miracles," so-called by Harsnett and attributed by him to Edmunds, and it seems to have been a kind of diary, or case-book, kept by the priests at the time of the exorcisms, though there may have been more than one copy.
		Harsnett's book was written nearly twenty years later for the express purpose of proving the miracles false and the priests imposters.

		Samuel Harsnett was the clergy member who licensed the pamphlet and later had to explain to the authorities that he licensed it for printing without reading it because he knew Hayward.
		However, the treasonous intent was not declared until it was politically expedient and no concern was given the reprinting under a slightly different name in 1609, thus demonstrating the futility of...

		Samuel Harsnett, A Declaration of egregious Popish Impostures, to withdraw the harts of her Maiesties Subiects from their allegeance, and from the truth of Christian Religion professed in England, vnder the pretence of casting out deuils (London: lames Roberts, 1603).
		Harsnett’s influence is noted in Lewis Theobald’s edition of Shakespeare, first published in 1733.
		This sentiment could serve as the epigraph to both of Harsnett’s books on exorcism; it is the root perception from which most of Harsnett’s rhetoric grows.

	Flibbertigibbet & Purre: An Undiscovered Pun from King Lear?
		But in 1603, Samuel Harsnett, the forty-two year old then Vicar of Chigwell, used Fliberdigibbet (with a "d") in his hilarious polemic A Declaration of Egregious Popish Impostures to denote not a gossiping fishwife, but a demon.
		Entered in the Stationers' Register on the 16th of March, the Declaration is a retort at the actions of Catholics at the time who were using possession by demons and subsequent exorcisms as methods to frighten the public into Catholicism.
		I believe it corrupt: for wildness, not nonsense, is the effect of a disordered imagination." The closest match in Harsnett for Sesey is Soforce, and for Dolphin Delicat, but I believe both too far removed to merit too serious a consideration.

	Gwynneth Bowen - Book Review: Shakespeare's Sources. (I) Comedies and Tragedies
		"Harsnett may have derived this knowledge, superfluous for a Bishop's chaplain, from his undergraduate days at Cambridge; he may have frequented the play house in London; but as Chaplain to the Bishop of London he had the job of licensing books for the press.
		The answer to that question depends upon the date of Shakespeare's play, but Harsnett's knowledge of the theatre is a strange coincidence.
		A great deal has been written in recent years about the sources of individual plays, but this book is the first attempt at a much-needed synthesis, though it deals only with the comedies and tragedies.

	Playbill 2
		Shakespeare also makes considerable use of Samuel Harsnett's Declaration of Egregious Popish Impostures (1603) for Edgar's language of demonic possession as Poor Tom and the mock exorcism he works to cure the blinded Gloucester's despair.
		Recoiling from the bleakness of the play's tragic vision, Naham Tate revised it in 1681, providing interpolated love scenes between Edgar and Cordelia and a happy ending in which Lear and Cordelia survive: his version held the stage for a century and a half.
		Samuel Johnson and the Romantic poets testified to the original play's greatness--Shelley terming it "the most perfect specimen of dramatic poetry existing in the world"--but they also began a critical tradition that judged the work too large and sublime for the stage.

	Rebecca Eskew
		One of the elements that Shakespeare takes from Harsnett’s tale is the idea of demonic possession, a trait that he bestows upon Edgar in the play (Greenblatt 1060).
		Greenblatt points out that Harsnett’s work is "a semi-official attack on exorcism as practised by Jesuits secretly residing in England" (1060).
		Since Shakespeare supports Protestantism, he sides with Harsnett’s evaluation of this practice, viewing it as a stage-show, a way for Jesuit priests to show their God-given power when, in actuality, they have none, because Catholicism is not the true religion.
