Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/DNB Epitome 51

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This listing page belongs to Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography, spun out of the “missing article” project, and is concerned with checking whether Wikipedia has articles for all those listed in the Dictionary of National Biography (DNB), a 63-volume British biographical dictionary published 1885-1900 and now in the public domain. This page relates to volume 51 running from name Scoffin to name Sheares.

Scope of the subproject:

It is envisaged that the following work will be done:

  • Checks made that links on this page point to a wikipedia article about the same person;
  • Addition of new articles for all red-links based on DNB text;
  • Checking whether blue-linked articles would benefit from additional text from DNB.

Listings are posted as bulleted lists, with footnotes taken from the DNB summaries published in 1904. The listings and notes are taken from scanned text that is often corrupt and in need of correction. Not all the entries on the list correspond to actual DNB articles; some are “redirects” and there are a few articles devoted to families rather than individuals.

If you are engaged in this work you will probably find quite a number of unreferenced articles among the blue links. You are also encouraged to mention the DNB as a reference on such articles whenever they correspond to the summary, as part of the broader campaign for good sourcing. A suggested template is {{DNB}}.

Locating the full text:

DNB text is now available on Wikisource for all first edition articles, on the page s:Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Vol 51 Scoffin - Sheares. Names here are not inverted, as they are in the original: Joe Bloggs would be found at Wikisource s:Bloggs, Joe (DNB00). The text for the first supplement is available too: NB that this Epitome listing includes those supplement articles also.

List maintenance and protocols:

List maintenance tasks are to check and manipulate links in the list with piping or descriptive parenthetical disambiguators, and to mark list entries with templates to denote their status; whilst as far as possible retaining the original DNB names:

  • piping: [[Charles Abbot]] -> [[Charles Abbot, 1st Baron Colchester|Charles Abbot]]
  • descriptive parenthetical disambiguators [[Charles Abbot]] -> [[Charles Abbot (botanist)]]
  • both combined [[Charles Abbot]] -> [[Charles Abbot (botanist)|Charles Abbot]]

The work involves:

  • Checking that bluelinks link to the correct person; if so, {{tick}} them. If not, try to find the correct article and pipe or disambiguate the link.
  • Check whether redlinks can be linked to an article by piping or disambiguation.
  • Create articles based on the DNB text for redlinks for which no wikipedia article can be found
  • Check whether existing blue-linked articles could benefit from an input of DNB text (e.g. the article is a stub), and if so, update the article from DNB

A number of templates are provided to mark-up entries:

  • {{mnl}} the link runs to a wrong person; - produces the text: [link currently leads to a wrong person]. It is preferable to amend the link by adding a disambiguator to make it red, if an article for the correct person cannot be found
  • {{dn}} the link runs to a dab page - produces the text [disambiguation needed]. It is preferable to amend the link by adding a disambiguator to make it red, if an article for the correct person cannot be found
  • {{tick}} the link has been checked and runs to the correct person - checkY
  • {{tick}} {{tick}} the text of the linked article has been checked against DNB text and would not benefit from additional DNB text - checkY checkY
  • {{tick}} {{cross}} the text of the linked article looks short enough to suggest it would benefit from additional DNB text - checkY ☒N

Note that before creating new articles based on DNB text you should undertake searches to check that the article's subject does not already have an article. It is easily possible that the disambiguation used in this page is not the disambiguation used in an existing wikipedia article. Equally, feel free to improve upon the disambiguation used in redlinks on this page by amending them.

Supplement articles:

Because of the provenance of the listing, a number of the original articles will not in fact be in the announced volume, but in one of the three supplement volumes published in 1901. Since the DNB did not include articles about living people, this will be the case whenever the date of death is after the publication date of the attributed volume. In due course there will be a separate listing.

General thoughts:

This project is intended as a new generation in “merging encyclopedias”, as well as being one of the most ambitious attempted. For general ideas of where we are, and some justification of the approach being taken, see the essay Wikipedia:Merging encyclopedias.

He probably wrote Man in his Humour(1598) andSejanus(1603). As a iThe Merry Wives of Windsorby command of Queen dramatist he gained his earliest experience by revising or Elizabeth (printed in an imperfect form in 1602, the first rewriting plays purchased by the manager of his theatre, complete version being that of the 1623 folio), the plot Love's Labour's Lost the first of his dramatic produc- J of the play being probably suggested by an Italian tions, written c. 1591, revised probably for a performance i novel. His Henry V was performed early in 1599 (an at court, 1597, was published, 1598. There were produced about the same time The Two Gentlemen of Verona , is inadmissible. Shakespeare probably wrote A .Midsummer Night's Dream(printed, 1600) at the end of 1595, and produced about the same time All's well that ends well the plot of which was drawn from Painter's 'Palace of Pleasure(No. xxxviii.) (first printed in the folio of 1623). His play,The Taming of the Shrew c. 1596 (also first printed in the folio), mainly a revision of an old play, owed something to the Supposes of George Gascoigne. Shakespeare returned to Stratford, e. 1596, and there relieved his family from financial embarrassments, which had steadily increased since his departure. He purchased New Place, the largest house in tintown, 1597, but he does not appear to have settled permanently there till 1611, by which year he had by further purchases built up an estate at Stratford. He wrote, c. 1597, Henry IV parts i. and ii., from Holinehed's Chronicles and from a popular piece, The Famous Victories of Henry V; both parts of Henry IV were (the story of which is the same as that of The Shepardess Felismena in George de Montemayor's pastoral romance 'Diana and theComedy of Errors(perhaps founded imperfect draft printed, 1600, the perfected play supplied in the first folio). In 1599 he also produced his three most perfect essays in comedyMuch Ado about Nothing 'As you like it and Twelfth Night(the first of these published in 1600, the remaining two not printed until on a play, The Historic of Error acted, 1576), both of they appeared in the folio); the story of Hero and Olaudio which were first printed in the folio of 1623. His first tragedy,Romeo and Juliet* (based on an Italian romance frequently translated into English), written in 1591, was first printed anonymously and surreptitiously in qnarto, 1597 (authentic second quarto, 1599). The three parts of hisHenry VI* were acted in 1592; the first part was first published in 1623, the second part anonymously in 1594 as The first part of the contention betwixt the two famous houses of Yorke and Lancaster and the third inMuch Adowas drawn from an Italian source;As you like it was a dramatic adaptation of Lodge's romance 'Rosalynde, Euphues Golden Legacie(1590), an( j the story of Twelfth Night was taken from theHistoric of Apolonius and Silla in Riche his Farewell to Militarie Profession(1581), an English rendering of a tale in Cinthio's Hecatommithi Meanwhile his name was applied by unprincipled publishers to SU ch writings of obscure men asThe Tragedie of Locrine 1595,The Puri part, in 1595, asThe True Tragedie of Richard, Duke of j taine, or the Widdow of Watling-streete 1607The Trne Yorke, and the death of good King Henry the Sixt but ! Chronicle Historic of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, 5 1613, The both the second and third parts underwent revision by himself before they were included in the 1623 folio. The original draf t of the three parts of his Henry VI was possibly by Greene and Peele, Shakespeare joining Marlowe in a revision which resulted inThe Contention and the Trne Tragedie and being again aided by Marlowe in the final revision. After Henry VI Shakespeare composedRichard IIIandRichard II both of which Life of Oldcastle 1600, "The London Prodigall 1C05, 'The Yorkshire Tragedy 1608, and an old play on the subject of King John, 1611. Only two sonnets and three poems from Love's Labour's Lost appeared inThe Passionate Pilgrim, by W. Shakespeare 1699, the bulk of the volume being by Richard Barn field and others. Shakespeare's name was also appended to a poetical essaie on the Turtle and the Phoanix which was published in were published anonymously in 1697; hisTitua Andro- Robert Chester'sLove's Martyr a collection of poems nicus much of which was perhaps written by Kyd, acted in 1594, was afterwards published in quarto (first extant edition, 1600); his comedyThe Merchant of Venice (probably acted in 1594, printed, 1600) was based on material in Giovanni Fiorentino's collection of Italian novelsII Pecoroneand theGesta Romanorum besides earlier plays. In 1594 he adapted King John (printed, 1623) fromThe Troublesome Raigne of King John (1591). He is also credited on somewhat slender grounds with portions of Arden of Feversham(1692) aud 'Edward III(1596). Meanwhile Shakespeare published the love poems llfSi*!!*! 1 and:. Lucrece respectively in 1593 by Marston, Chapman, Jonson, and others, 1601. Shakespeare'sJulius Caesar taken from North's translation ofPlutarch's Lives was produced in 1601 (first printed, third version, in the 1623 folio), and Hamlet the story of which was accessible in Belleforest's Histoires Tragiques was played in the following year. He wrote Troilus and Oressida (the story of which was based upon Chaucer's Troilus and Oresseide probably in 1603 (two quarto editions, 1609); his Othello and Measure for Measure the stories of which were drawn from Cinthio, were acted in 1604 (neither printed in Shakespeare's lifetime); the plot of hisMacbeth(finished, 1606) was drawn from Holinshed's Chronicle of Scottish and 1694, each with a dedication to Henry Wriothesley, History and was doubtless designed as a tribute to the earl of Southampton, with whom, in the latter year, he nationality of the king, James I; his King Lear also was doubtless on terms of intimate friendship. Summoned with the most famous actors of the day to perform at court, Christmas 1594, he was thenceforth shown special favour by Queen Blliabeth. HisSonnets which were ? H.L 609 were P robabl y written between 1591 and I; their intensity of feeling has led readers to assume that they have an autobiographical significance. Most of them trace the course of the writer's affection for a young patron of rank and beauty, and may be addressed to e's only known patron, Southampton; but the mainly founded on Holinshed, was produced 1606 (twoslightly differing versions printed in 1608, and a third included in the folio of 1623).Timonof Athensand Pericles quickly followed (the latter was first printed in a mangled form in 1608, and was included in Shakespeare's collected works for the first time, 1G64); both were written in collaboration with another dramatist, perhaps George Wilkins; possibly in Timou some additional assistance was given by William Rowley. Shakespeare derived the story of Timon partly from Painter's ., r, speare derived the story of Timon partly is probably for the most part of dramatic temper, i Palace of Pleasure and partly from Plutarch's Martina is a masterly imaginative rendering of that spirit of Antony and that ofPericlesfrom theApollonius of 3h poets of the day habitually paid their i Tyrein John Gower'sConfessio Amantis In both tie publisher Thomas Thorpe issued the Son- Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus Shakespeare 09 with a dedication toMr. W.
