Mousetrap

Structure and Meaning in Hamlet

By: P.J. Aldus

There is scarcely an element of Hamlet that has not received attention many times, yet both general reader and sophisticated critic would generally agree that the character of Hamlet and the full meanings of the play remain mysteries. No less a puzzle is the art of Hamlet, for, while the form of the art is elusive, the feeling of essential meaning is strong. Professor Aldus hopes to enlarge our understanding of Hamlet and our appreciation of Shakespeare as a conscious artist of great subtlety by studying the play’s dramatic structure in the light of Aristotle’s Poetics and its meaning as literary myth in the light of Plato’s Phaedrus. This is a study of Hamlet as literary myth, a figurative mode of art in which structure is basic; yet primal myth, myth in the larger, non-literary sense, becomes part of it too, because the substance of Hamlet seems to be of this kind. Professor Aldus’s reading of Hamlet is both radically new and decidedly provocative. A great deal of very careful inquiry has gone into the unearthing of connections which at first sight often seem improbable and tenuous, but which, one comes to find, have an illuminating total unity. Future commentators may not accept all that Professor Aldus has to say about, for example, Ophelia’s crown of flowers, but they will hardly be able to ignore it.

Diocles of Carystus. Volume One, Text and Translation

A Collection of the Fragments with Translation and Commentary

By: P.J. van der Eijk

Diocles of Carystus (4th century BCE), also known as "the younger Hippocrates", was one of the most prominent medical authorities in antiquity. He wrote extensively on a wide range of areas such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, therapeutics, embryology, gynaecology, dietetics, foods and poisons. In his writings, he betrays strong philosophical influence, and his views present striking connections with the Hippocratic Corpus, Plato, Aristotle and Theophrastus. The study of Diocles' ideas has long been hampered by the absence of a reliable collection of the remaining evidence. This book presents and discusses all the fragments and testimonies to Diocles' views. The first volume presents the Greek, Latin and Arabic sources with facing English translation. The second volume (publication April 2001) provides a commentary on the fragments and places them in their intellectual context.

Berigte uit die Dorsland en ander pioniersgewestes

By: PJ Van der Merwe

e;Kort na sy aanstelling as lektor op Stellenbosch het die historikus P.J. van der Merwe aandag begin skenk aan die Noordweste. Die gebied was destyds grootliks onbekend aan mense buite die geweste. Soos vandag nog was daar destyds onsekerheid oor die grense van die streek en sy sub-streke ... Berigte uit die Dorsland, wat sy dogter, Margaretha Schaefer, saamgestel het, bevat meer as 200 tydskrif- en koerantartikels uit sy pen. Die artikels, gebaseer op sy onderhoude en waarnemings, bied 'n rykdom aan belangrike inligting, wat hy versamel het tydens twee uitgebreide besoeke aan die Noordweste en omliggende dele ... Lank voor die meeste historici het hy besef dat 'n persoonlike onderhoud met iemand wat 'n bepaalde ervaring gehad het 'n waardevolle historiese bron kan wees. Dit was egter noodsaaklik om die getuienis te toets en met die getuienis van ander mense te kontroleer. Die artikels in Die Burger, Die Huisgenoot, Landbouweekblad en Sarie Marais word vergesel van uitstekende foto's wat Van der Mewe met sy kamera geneem het.'"e; - Hermann Giliomee

Acta Historiae Neerlandicae IX

Studies on the History of the Netherlands

By: R. Baetens,H. Balthazar,H. Van Dijk,Rosemary Duke,P. J. Van Kessel,D. J. Roorda,Nicolette Van Santen-Mout,E. Stols,K. W. Swart,B. A. Sijes,C. A. Tamse

In the Survey of Recent Historical Works, which according to custom concludes this IXth volume of the Acta, is a notice of the recent 'Report of the Dutch research, with suggestions for future development'. Such a report could easily be classified as an attempt to bring pressure to bear on financial resources for support of a somewhat neglected branch of scientific effort, indeed as a symptom of the current disease of notatitis. A recent special issue 'Regeren door notas', of the periodical Beleid and Maatschappij, March-April 1976, discusses this severe Dutch epidemic of official note-writing, for any purpose, on any matter, at any time, by any sort of official committee to any sort of official body. But even if such were the only reason for the production of this Report, which indeed it is not, the Report will stand on its own feet, as significant and of consequence. In general, however, this Report makes sad reading. It would seem that Dutch historical research and historiography lags far behind comparable foreign developments. There are said to be immense gaps in knowledge of and insight into virtually all fields of the Dutch past and moreover a total lack of modem sophistication. Inevitably, currently fashionable techniques such as programming, co-ordination, and teamwork are suggested as desirable, and a preference is expressed for the currently highly regarded socio-historical approach.

This ambitious and revelatory collection turns the traditional chronology of anthologies on its head, listing poems according to their first individual appearance in the language rather than by poet.
