Thomas Sackville Criticism Sackville is famous for two poems and a play, nearly all that remains of a literary career cut short by his decision to devote his energies to government service. A number of critics have focused on Sackville's sparing use of metaphor, his allusions to classical and medieval sources, and his depiction of Henry as a sympathetic figure, a device that influenced the characterization of tragic protagonists in later English drama. Sackville's only other known surviving poetry are a sonnet composed in 1561 for Thomas Hoby's translation of Baldassare Castiglione's The Courtier and a recently discovered poem, “Sacvyle's Olde Age.” The latter work suggests that Sackville wrote additional poetry before denouncing it as youthful folly. www.enotes.com /literary-criticism/sackville-thomas   (946 words)

[No title] No doubt Sackville and Norton were well aware that for a play set in pre-Christian times a parliament was an anachronism (Note 1), but they were clearly more concerned to comment constructively on the situation in England in their time than merely relate ancient history, if history it was. Thomas was born on the Sackville estate at Buckhurst, in the county of Sussex. Sackville and Norton probably knew most, if not all of this, but their play was about an earlier, pre-Christian era. home.eol.ca /~cumulus/Shakespeare/ch22.htm   (3791 words)

glbtq >> literature >> Sackville-West, Vita She was a self-conscious aristocrat, descended on her father's side from Thomas Sackville (1536-1608), Earl of Dorset, Lord High Treasurer of England, poet, courtier, and cousin to the Queen. Cultural and temperamental dualities in novels like Heritage (1919), The Dragon in Shallow Waters (1921), Grey Wethers (1923), and The Devil at Westease (1947) mirror the duality she imagined inheriting from the Sackvilles and her Spanish grandmother, and that duality mirrors the psychosexual one described in the secret journal. Portrayals of marriage and sexual relationships between men and women in The Edwardians (1930), All Passion Spent (1931), and Family History (1932), hint at the psychological balancing act that enabled her own marriage to Nicolson. www.glbtq.com /literature/sackvillewest_v.html   (607 words)

National Trust | Knole | Park The park was first enclosed by a fence in 1456 by Thomas Bourchier to indulge a passion for hunting, which was popular among the nobility of the time. During the 16th and 17th centuries, timber from the park was sold to the shipyards at Chatham; wood was coppiced for hop-poles and for fuel for the local glass industry; some of the land was given over for grazing; and some ploughed for growing crops.
