‘New rights we grant not, but the old declare’ : le Henry V de Roger Boyle (1664), ou Shakespeare ‘restauré’
No full textLa pièce héroïque de Roger Boyle, The History of Henry V (1664) est une réécriture, à la Restauration (entendue comme période historique et théâtrale), de la pièce de Shakespeare, pièce sur la restauration du roi d’Angleterre qui revendique et obtient la couronne de France. Tenant compte des dernières recherches sur les liens complexes entre les objectifs dramatiques et politique de Boyle et ceux de Charles II, roi nouvellement « restauré », le présent article analyse plusieurs des particularités structurelles, stylistiques et dramatiques de la pièce de Boyle – aspects souvent négligés, voire ignorés par la critique. On pourra ainsi mettre en lumière plusieurs avatars du concept de « restauration ».Roger Boyle’s History of Henry V (1664) is a Restoration rewriting of Shakespeare’s famous play, itself a play about the restoration of a king into his lawful rights and ancient claims. Taking into account the latest research on the theatrical and political links between Boyle’s own agenda and Charles II’s « restored » reign, this article aims at looking into some of the structural, stylistic and dramatic devices used by Boyle in this very successful play – all items more than often neglected, if not ignored, by the critics, showing restoration as a concept in its multifarious shapes and forms

Theology and natural philosophy in late seventeenth and early eighteenth-century Britain
No full textA number of historians of science have claimed that the early Boyle Sermons provided a platform for the promotion of a moderate-Anglican social and political ideology underpinned by Newtonian natural philosophy. However, by examining in detail the texts of Richard Bentley, John Harris and Samuel Clarke, this thesis argues that their Sermons should not be characterised as 'Newtonian'. These texts were highly complex literary productions constructed with the intention of achieving victory over the enemies of Christianity. An examination of their rhetorical strategies
focuses attention on the use to which various cognitive materials - including natural philosophy - were put. Thus the presence of Newtonian concepts in the texts is
explained by the aims and overall scholarly programmes of the Lecturers. It will also be argued that the term 'Boyle Lectureship' is problematic and that the main elements of the Lectureship - Robert Boyle's bequest, the Trustees, the
Lecturers, and the Sermons - cannot be conflated into a single historical unit. Therefore, throughout this study, emphasis is placed on the contingent and singular
behaviour of individuals located within an ecclesiastical and scholarly community, where career promotion and the notion of scholarly credit were important. The brief
in Boyle's last will and testament stipulated that the Lecturers must defend Christianity using the scholarly tools to hand. In this thesis it will be shown that the
personnel of the Lectureship conformed to Boyle's brief and that they utilised all available methods and materials in the pursuance of their legal and institutional
responsibilities. This approach removes the analysis of the Lectureship from an overarching sociological perspective; instead the Sermons are interpreted as exemplary texts in the rhetorical prosecution of the enemies of Christianity. This study, therefore, acknowledges the complex nature of theological texts in early modern England

Teaching Delivery Issues: Lessons from Computer Science
No full textInformation Technology (IT) is a subject that is distinct from Computer Science (CS), but is often taught by CS faculty; there is a large overlap between the content of curricula for the two subjects. In this pa-per, we discuss some of the issues and problems experienced within CS that are also of relevance to the IT educator. We discuss the effects of student and faculty expectations along with curricular issues, and we conclude that setting student expectations and aligning them with our own at as early a stage as pos-sible is crucial to success
