Введение
Английский поэт и драматург (1562–1619)
English poet and playwright (1562–1619)
Сэмюэл Дэниел (1562–1619) был английским поэтом, драматургом и историком позднего елизаветинского и раннего якобианского периодов. Он был новатором в широком спектре литературных жанров. Наиболее известные его произведения – цикл сонетов «Делия», эпическая поэма «Гражданские войны между домами Ланкастера и Йорка», стихотворный диалог «Мусофилус» и эссе о английской поэзии «Защита рифмы». Дэниела считали одним из выдающихся авторов своего времени, и его работы оказали значительное влияние на современников, включая Уильяма Шекспира. Его труды продолжали влиять на писателей на протяжении столетий после его смерти, особенно на поэтов-романтиков Сэмюэля Тейлора Колриджа и Уильяма Вордсворта. К. С. Льюис назвал Дэниела «самым интересным человеком литературы», которого породило шестнадцатое столетие в Англии.
Samuel Daniel (1562–1619) was an English poet, playwright and historian in the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras. He was an innovator in a wide range of literary genres. His best known works are the sonnet cycle Delia, the epic poem The Civil Wars Between the Houses of Lancaster and York, the dialogue in verse Musophilus, and the essay on English poetry A Defence of Rhyme. He was considered one of the preeminent authors of his time and his works had a significant influence on contemporary writers, including William Shakespeare. Daniel's writings continued to influence authors for centuries after his death, especially the Romantic poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. C. S. Lewis called Daniel "the most interesting man of letters" whom the sixteenth century produced in England.
Детство, образование и отношения с Джоном Флорио
О детстве Самуила Даниэля известно немного. Биограф Томас Фуллер в книге "Истории достойных людей Англии" (1662) утверждает, что он "родился недалеко от Тонтона" в Сомерсете. Самым ранним свидетельством, предоставляющим точные детали его жизни, является запись в книге посещений Оксфордского университета, фиксирующая его поступление в Магдален-Холл (ныне Гертфордский колледж) "17 ноября 1581 года, в возрасте 19 лет". Даниэль не завершил обучение в Оксфорде; Энтони Вуд в "Athenae Oxonienses" (1691) отмечает, что он "больше тяготел к легким и изящным занятиям, чем к кропотливому изучению логики". Во время учебы в Оксфорде Даниэль познакомился с писателем и переводчиком Джоном Флорио, который в то время преподавал итальянский язык в университете. В 1582 году Даниэль внес латинское стихотворение в "Сад наслаждений" Флорио. После этого Даниэль поддерживал отношения с Флорио на протяжении многих лет. Он написал посвятительное стихотворение, которое было включено в перевод Флорио "Опытов Мишеля де Монтеня" в 1603 году. Второе издание "Опытов" Монтеня, изданное Флорио в 1613 году, содержало пересмотренную версию посвящения Даниэля, в котором поэт называл Флорио "моим дорогим другом и братом". Это навело на мысль, что либо Флорио женился на сестре Даниэля, либо Даниэль женился на сестре Флорио, предположение, которое так и не было доказано.
Little is known about Samuel Daniel's early life. Biographer Thomas Fuller in Histories of the Worthies of England (1662) states that he "was born not far from Taunton" in Somerset. The earliest evidence providing definitive details of his life is an entry in the signature book of Oxford University documenting his matriculation at Magdalen Hall (now Hertford College) on "17 Nov., 1581, aged 19". Daniel did not complete his degree at Oxford; Anthony à Wood in Athenae Oxonienses (1691) states that he "was more prone to easier and smoother studies, than in pecking and hewing at logic". While at Oxford, Daniel met the author and translator John Florio, who was an Italian tutor at the university at the time. In 1582, Daniel contributed a Latin verse to Florio's Giardino di Recreatione. Daniel maintained a relationship with Florio for years thereafter. He wrote a dedicatory poem that was included in Florio's translation of Michel de Montaigne's Essays in 1603. The second edition of Florio's Montaigne, published in 1613, included a revised version of Daniel's dedication in which the poet referred to Florio as "my dear friend and brother". This has led to the inference that either Florio had married Daniel's sister or Daniel had married Florio's sister, an inference that has never been proven.
15851591: Первая опубликованная работа и покровительство сэра Эдварда Даймока
Первым опубликованным произведением Даниэля стал "Достойный трактат Павла Ювия" – перевод итальянского трактата об импрессах, или эмблемах, историка Паоло Джовио. Эта книга эмблем была издана в 1585 году Саймоном Уотерсоном, который оставался другом Даниэля и его основным издателем на протяжении всей жизни. "Достойный трактат Павла Ювия" был посвящен сэру Эдварду Даймоку, главному герольду королевы. Связь Даниэля с Даймоком стала первой в череде близких отношений с влиятельными покровителями, которые определили его литературную карьеру. Даймок написал рекомендательное письмо от имени Даниэля, благодаря которому молодой ученый смог проживать в английском посольстве во Франции с 1585 по 1586 год, продолжая свои занятия. В период с 1590 по 1591 год он вновь отправился на континент, часть времени путешествуя в компании Даймока. Даниэль и Даймок встретились в Италии с поэтом Джованни Баттиста Гуарини и отстаивали достоинство английского языка как языка, пригодного для поэзии и великих писателей.
Daniel's first published work was The Worthy Tract of Paulus Jovius, a translation of an Italian treatise on impresa or emblems by historian Paolo Giovio. This emblem book was published in 1585 by Simon Waterson, who would remain Daniel's friend and principal publisher for the rest of his life. The Worthy Tract of Paulus Jovius was dedicated to Sir Edward Dymoke, the Queen's Champion. Daniel's association with Dymoke was the first of a series of close relationships with noble patrons that came to characterise the author's literary career. Dymoke wrote a letter of introduction on Daniel's behalf which allowed the young student to live in the English embassy in France between 1585 and 1586 as he advanced his studies. Between 1590 and 1591, he returned to the continent, travelling part of the time accompanied by Dymoke. Daniel and Dymoke met the poet Giovanni Battista Guarini in Italy and defended English as a language worthy of poetry and great writers.
15911593: Покровительство Мэри Сидни, Делии, Розамонды и Клеопатры
Литературная карьера Дэниела фактически началась в конце 1591 года с несанкционированного включения некоторых из его сонетов «Делия» в посмертное первое издание «Астрофела и Стеллы» сэра Филиппа Сидни. Сестра Сидни, Мэри Сидни, графиня Пемброка, возражала против тайной публикации произведения своего брата, и компания Stationers отозвала издание. В 1592 году Даниэль опубликовал первое санкционированное издание своих поэтических произведений – цикл сонетов «Делия» и историческую поэму «Скорбь Розамонды». Даниэль посвятил «Делию» Мэри Сидни и попросил у нее прощения за включение своих стихотворений в несанкционированное издание работы ее брата, утверждая, что его «предали из-за нерассудительности жадного издателя». Вскоре после публикации «Делии» и «Розамонды» Даниэль был приглашен в дом Пемброков, где служил семье в каком-то качестве, возможно, в качестве наставника двенадцатилетнего Уильяма Герберта. Он также присоединился к группе писателей, поощряемой Мэри Сидни, которая впоследствии стала известна как Уилтонский кружок, в который входили Эдмунд Спенсер, Майкл Дрейтон, сэр Джон Дэвис и Абрахам Фраунс. Сразу после публикации «Делии» и «Розамонды» Даниэль начал получать похвалу от английских поэтов и ученых, включая Томаса Наша, Томаса Черчиярда и Габриэля Харви. Эдмунд Спенсер, в то время наиболее уважаемый из живущих английских авторов, поддержал Даниэля в «Колине Клуте, вернувшемся домой» (1595), заявив, что «есть новый пастух, недавно возникший, / Который превосходит всех, кто был прежде» и призывая своего коллегу-поэта «быстро расправляй перья, Даниэль, / И стремись к тому, что тебе по душе». С 1592 по 1593 год, под покровительством Мэри Сидни, Даниэль завершил «Трагедию Клеопатры», которая была опубликована в 1594 году. Пьеса была написана по просьбе Сидни как продолжение французской трагедии Роберта Гарнье «Марк Антоний», которую она перевела на английский язык как «Трагедия Антония» и опубликовала в 1592 году. Обе пьесы были написаны в стиле классической камерной драмы, предназначенной скорее для чтения, чем для постановки. В начале и середине XX века литературные критики предполагали, что эти пьесы были частью усилий Мэри Сидни по реформированию английского театра, возвращая его к классическим стандартам, провозглашенным ее братом Филиппом Сидни в его «Защите поэзии». Этот взгляд на работу Мэри Сидни был развит Т. С. Элиотом в его эссе 1932 года «Апологетика графини Пемброка». Однако последующая литературная критика предположила, что литературные усилия Сидни не были частью кампании против английской драмы, а скорее представляли собой попытки адаптировать континентальные исторические произведения для английской аудитории и использовать их для современной политической критики.
Daniel's literary career was effectively launched in late 1591 with the unauthorized inclusion of some of his Delia sonnets in the posthumous first edition of Sir Philip Sidney's Astrophel and Stella. Sidney's sister, Mary Sidney, the Countess of Pembroke, objected to the surreptitious publication of her brother's work, and the edition was recalled by the Stationers Company. In 1592, Daniel published the first authorized edition of his own poetic works, the sonnet cycle Delia, and the historical poem The Complaint of Rosamond. Daniel dedicated Delia to Mary Sidney and begged her forgiveness for the inclusion of his poems in the unauthorized edition of her brother's work, claiming that he had been "betrayed by the indiscretions of a greedy printer." Soon after the publication of Delia and Rosamond, Daniel was invited to join the Pembroke household, serving the family in some capacity, perhaps as tutor to the twelve year old William Herbert. He also joined a group of writers encouraged by Mary Sidney that has come to be referred to as the Wilton Circle, a group that included Edmund Spenser, Michael Drayton, Sir John Davies, and Abraham Fraunce. Immediately upon the publication of Delia and Rosamond, Daniel began receiving praise from English poets and scholars, including Thomas Nashe, Thomas Churchyard, and Gabriel Harvey. Edmund Spenser, at the time England's most highly regarded living author, endorsed Daniel in Colin Clouts Come Home Again (1595), stating that "there is a new shepherd late upsprung, / The which doth all afore him far surpass" and imploring his fellow poet to "rouse thy feathers quickly, Daniel, / And to what course thou please thyself advance". From 1592 to 1593, under the patronage of Mary Sidney, Daniel completed The Tragedy of Cleopatra, which was published in 1594. The play was written at the request of Sidney as a sequel to Robert Garnier's French tragedy Marc Antoine, a play she had translated into English as The Tragedy of Antony and published in 1592. Both plays were written in the style of classical closet drama, plays more intended to be read than performed. During the early to mid twentieth century literary critics postulated that the plays were part of Mary Sidney's effort to reform English theater, returning it to classical standards espoused by her brother, Philip Sidney, in his Defence of Poesy. This view of Mary Sidney's work was advanced by T. S. Eliot in his 1932 essay, "Apology for the Countess of Pembroke". Subsequent literary criticism, however, has suggested that Sidney's literary efforts were not part of a campaign against English drama, but rather were efforts to adapt continental works on history for an English audience and use them for contemporary political commentary.
15941601: Маунтджой, Гражданские войны, Поэтические эссе и произведения
После публикации «Клеопатры» Дэниел расстался с Мэри Сидни и столкнулся с финансовыми трудностями. Его приютил Чарльз Блант, барон Маунтджой, как описано в первом издании эпической поэмы Дэниела о Войне Алой и Белой розы, «Первые четыре книги о гражданских войнах между домами Ланкастера и Йорка», опубликованной в 1595 году. Поэма содержала льстивые упоминания о Маунтджое и раздел, восхваляющий его и его близкого друга Роберта Деверо, графа Эссекса. Дэниел работал в поместье Эссекса, Ванстед, когда писал первоначальный вариант своей поэмы. В период с 1595 по 1599 год Дэниел добавил пятую книгу к «Гражданским войнам» и включил расширенную поэму в «Поэтические сочинения Самуэля Дэниела», сборник его работ, посвященный Маунтджою и опубликованный в 1599 году. В сборник вошли пересмотренные версии «Делии», «Розамонды» и «Клеопатры», а также два новых произведения: «Мусофил» и «Письмо Октавии к Марку Антонию». «Мусофил» был посвящен другу Дэниела и коллеге-поэту Фулку Гревиллу, чьи беседы с Дэниелом вдохновили на создание диалога в стихах – дискуссии между поэтом и придворным о ценности поэзии по сравнению с более мирскими занятиями. «Письмо Октавии» было посвящено Маргарет Клиффорд, графине Камберлендской, чьи отношения с неверным мужем вдохновили Дэниела на сочувственное изображение жены Марка Антония, Октавии. Использование слова «Сочинения» в названии сборника, возможно, было вдохновлено французской работой Монтеня, которая использовала то же слово в своем названии. Как и в произведениях Монтеня, в сборник Дэниела вошли работы, в которых обсуждались темы в созерцательном, саморефлексивном стиле. В конце 1590-х – начале 1600-х годов Дэниел стал наставником юной Анны Клиффорд, дочери графини Камберлендской, которой он посвятил «Письмо Октавии». Анна Клиффорд сохранила чувство благодарности и привязанности к Дэниелу на протяжении всей своей жизни. Она включила его портрет и тома его произведений в семейный триптих, который она заказала и который стал известен как «Великая картина». В 1601 году был опубликован новый сборник сочинений Дэниела под названием «Творения Самуэля Дэниела, недавно дополненные». Вновь в сборник вошли пересмотренные издания его ранних работ, включая расширенную версию «Гражданских войн», которая теперь включала шестую книгу. «Гражданские войны» были вновь посвящены королеве Елизавете, что, вероятно, отражало возросший статус Дэниела как одного из ведущих поэтов того времени, которого некоторые считали преемником Эдмунда Спенсера, скончавшегося в 1599 году.
After the publication of Cleopatra, Daniel parted ways with Mary Sidney and experienced financial difficulties. He was taken in by Charles Blount, Baron Mountjoy, as described in the first edition of Daniel's epic poem about the Wars of the Roses, The First Four Books of the Civil Wars Between the Two Houses of Lancaster and York, published in 1595. The poem included complimentary references to Mountjoy and a section praising him and his close friend Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex. Daniel had worked at Essex's estate, Wanstead, as he wrote the initial version of his poem. Between 1595 and 1599, Daniel added a fifth book to The Civil Wars and included the expanded poem in The Poetical Essays of Samuel Daniel, a collection of his works dedicated to Mountjoy and published in 1599. The collection included revised versions of Delia, Rosamond, and Cleopatra, as well as two new works, Musophilus and A Letter From Octavia to Marcus Antonius. Musophilus was dedicated to Daniel's friend and fellow poet Fulke Greville, whose discussions with Daniel had inspired the dialogue in verse, a debate between a poet and a courtier on the value of writing poetry relative to more worldly pursuits. A Letter from Octavia was dedicated to Margaret Clifford, the Countess of Cumberland, whose relationship with her philandering husband inspired Daniel's sympathetic portrayal of Mark Antony's wife, Octavia. The use of the word "Essays" in the title of the collection may have been inspired by Montaigne's French work that had used the same word in its title. Like Montaigne's writings, Daniel's collection included works that debated topics in a contemplative, self reflective style. During the late 1590s to first years of the 1600s, Daniel took on the role of tutor to the young Anne Clifford, daughter of the Countess of Cumberland, the woman to whom he had dedicated A Letter to Octavia. Anne Clifford maintained a sense of gratitude and affection toward Daniel through the rest of her life. She included his portrait and volumes of his works in the family triptych she commissioned that has come to be known as The Great Picture. In 1601, a new collection of Daniel's writings was published titled The Works of Samuel Daniel, Newly Augmented. Once again, the collection contained revised editions of his earlier works, including an expanded version of The Civil Wars that now extended to a sixth book. The Civil Wars was newly dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, likely reflecting Daniel's elevated stature as one of the leading poets of the day, regarded by some as the successor to Edmund Spenser, who had died in 1599.
1603 1607: Королевское покровительство, Филотас и смерть Маунтжоя
После смерти королевы Елизаветы и восшествия на престол короля Якова в 1603 году Даниел быстро вошел в круг нового двора. Благодаря поддержке Люси Рассел, графини Бедфордской, он представил новому королю в апреле того же года свой "Панегирик в честь Его Величества". Переработанная версия поэмы была опубликована позднее в 1603 году вместе с посланиями Даниела к представителям знати и его эссе «Защита рифмы». Даниел сблизился с королевой Якова, Анной Датской, которая поручила ему написать маску «Видение двенадцати богинь», поставленную в Хэмптон-Корте в январе 1604 года. В феврале того же года Даниел был назначен цензором пьес для труппы «Дети Королевы», получив ответственность за рецензирование пьес, представляемых ко двору. Это назначение в итоге привело к единственной значительной трудности и конфузу, с которыми столкнулся Даниел в своей литературной карьере. Две вызывавшие споры пьесы, «Голландка» и «Восток, вперед!», были поставлены «Детьми Королевы» после одобрения Даниелом. Еще более тревожным для Даниела стало то, что его собственная пьеса «Трагедия Филотаса», показанная перед королем Яковом в январе 1605 года, предположительно содержала политический подтекст, касающийся судьбы графа Эссекса, казненного в 1601 году за мятеж. Даниел был вызван в Тайный совет для дачи объяснений. Хотя он был оправдан, инцидент доставил ему значительное смущение, что привело к письменным извинениям его давнему другу Чарльзу Бланту (ранее барону Маунтджою, а затем графу Девонширскому), которого он невольно втянул в это дело, и Роберту Сесилу, советнику короля Якова и государственному секретарю. В письме к принцу Генри, сопровождавшем издание «Филотаса» 1605 года, Даниел выразил свое новое, утомленное жизнью мировоззрение, заявив: «Годы совершили ошибку, / Заставив меня писать слишком много и жить слишком долго». Если скандал вокруг «Филотаса» нанес ущерб репутации Даниела при дворе короля Якова, то ущерб был недолгим. В 1605 году пьеса была включена в сборник его произведений «Некоторые небольшие стихотворения», а в августе его пасторальная трагикомедия «Аркадия королевы» была поставлена перед королевой Анной и принцем Генрихом в Колледже Христа в Оксфорде. В апреле 1606 года скончался друг и покровитель Даниела, Чарльз Блант. Даниел написал похоронное стихотворение в память о своем давнем стороннике, которое было опубликовано под названием «Похоронное стихотворение о смерти благородного графа Девонширского» и включено в издание 1607 года «Некоторые небольшие работы Даниела». На титульном листе этого сборника произведений Даниела впервые упоминается его должность «одного из камергеров Ее Величества», высокий статус, которым он делил с другом Джоном Флорио. В «Некоторые небольшие работы» вошло существенно переработанное издание «Трагедии Клеопатры», которое, как считается, лучше подходило для сценической постановки, чем оригинальная версия, предназначенная для чтения. Недавние исследования выявили картину знатной дамы, изображенной в образе Клеопатры, как портрет Анны Клиффорд, одетой как египетская царица, возможно, связанный с постановкой драмы Даниела 1607 года.
After Queen Elizabeth's death and King James's accession in 1603, Daniel quickly became associated with the new court. Through the support of Lucy Russell, Countess of Bedford, he presented his Panegyrick Congratulatory to the King's Most Excellent Majesty to the new king in April of that year. A revised version of the poem was published later in 1603, along with Daniel's Epistles addressed to various members of the nobility and his essay A Defence of Rhyme. Daniel became closely associated with King James's queen, Anne (or Anna) of Denmark, who commissioned him to write a masque, The Vision of the Twelve Goddesses, which was performed at Hampton Court in January 1604. In February of that year, Daniel was appointed the licenser of plays for the Children of the Queen's Revels, giving him the responsibility of reviewing the plays presented to the court. This appointment ultimately led to the only known significant difficulty and embarrassment that Daniel encountered in his literary career. Two controversial plays The Dutch Courtesan and Eastward Ho! were both performed by the Children of the Queen's Revels after having been approved by Daniel. More disturbingly for Daniel, his own play, The Tragedy of Philotas, performed before King James in January 1605, was believed to include political commentary on the seditious end of the Earl of Essex, who had been executed in 1601. Daniel was called before the Privy Council to defend himself. Although he was acquitted of any charges, the incident caused him great embarrassment, resulting in written apologies to his longtime friend Charles Blount (formerly Baron Mountjoy, then the Earl of Devonshire), whom he had inadvertently pulled into the affair, and to Robert Cecil, King James's advisor and Secretary of State. In an epistle to Prince Henry, that accompanied the 1605 printed version of Philotas, Daniel reflected his new world weary perspective, stating that "years hath done this wrong, / To make me write too much, and live too long." If the controversy surrounding Philotas damaged Daniel's reputation with King James, the damage was short lived. In 1605, the play was included in the published collection of his works, Certain Small Poems, and in August his pastoral tragicomedy The Queen's Arcadia was performed before Queen Anne and Prince Henry at Christ Church in Oxford. In April 1606, Daniel's friend and patron, Charles Blount, died. Daniel wrote a funeral poem to his longtime supporter that was printed as A Funeral Poem Upon the Death of the Noble Earl of Devonshire and included in the 1607 edition of Daniel's Certain Small Works. The title page of that collection of Daniel's works was the first to refer to him as "one of the Grooms of the Queen's Majesty's Privy Chamber", an elevated status that he shared with his friend John Florio. Certain Small Works included a substantially revised edition of The Tragedy of Cleopatra, one that has been thought to be more performable on stage than the original closet drama version. Recent scholarship has identified a painting of a noblewoman dressed as Cleopatra as being a portrait of Anne Clifford dressed as the Egyptian queen, perhaps associated with a staged performance of the 1607 version of Daniel's play.
16091619: Окончательная версия Гражданских войн, сельская жизнь, проза История и смерть
В 1609 году Даниэль опубликовал свой последний вариант "Гражданских войн", который теперь включал восемь книг. Даниэль посвятил это произведение Мэри Сидни, покровительнице, благодаря которой он впервые приобрел известность. В посвящении к эпической поэме он заявил о намерении продолжить работу "до славного союза Генриха VII", подразумевая брак Генриха Тюдора (деда королевы Елизаветы) с Елизаветой Йоркской в 1486 году. Однако окончательная версия поэмы охватывала период лишь до брака Эдуарда IV с Элизабет Вудвилль в 1464 году. В посвящении Даниэль также выразил намерение написать прозаическую "Историю Англии, начиная с завоевания", обозначив тем самым главный проект, который должен был занять остаток его литературной карьеры и жизни. Последние десять лет жизни Даниэль провел в полуотставке, живя в загородном доме в небольшой деревушке Ридж (ныне Рудж), в деревне Беккинтон, графство Сомерсет. В 1610 году он написал маску "Праздник Фетиды", которая была представлена в Уайтхолле в честь возведения сына короля Якова, Генриха, в ранг принца Уэльского. В последующие несколько лет Даниэль занимался исследованием английской истории, частично опираясь на опыт и коллекции своих друзей, антикваров Уильяма Кэмдена и Роберта Коттона. В 1612 году он опубликовал первую часть своей прозаической истории – "Первая часть истории Англии", издание, охватывающее ранние годы английской истории, от нормандского завоевания (1066) до конца правления короля Стефана (1154). В 1614 году он написал пасторальную пьесу "Триумф Гимена", которая была поставлена в честь свадьбы Жана Драммонда с Робертом Кером, 1-м графом Роксбургским, в новом дворце королевы Анны, Сомерсет-хаус. По слухам, в 1618 году Даниэль лишился должности камергера при датской королеве Анне за посещение опального придворного Роберта Ллойда, известного как Флуд. Окончательная версия прозаической истории Даниэля, "Сборник истории Англии", была опубликована в 1618 году. Она включала материал из "Первой части истории" и продолжала повествование с того места, где та работа была прервана, до конца правления Эдуарда III (1377). Последним произведением, написанным Даниэлем, стало стихотворение, адресованное Джеймсу Монтегю, епископу Винчестерскому, в 1618 году. Оно было призвано утешить епископа, страдавшего желтухой. В стихотворении намекается, что Даниэль, возможно, страдал от той же болезни; он говорит об "этой неумолимой / И тайной болезни, истощающей силы", что и сам "с ней боролся". Неизвестно, был ли Даниэль когда-либо женат. В церковной книге Беккинтона зафиксирована запись о погребении "миссис Дэниелл" в марте 1619 года, за семь месяцев до смерти Даниэля; однако неясно, была ли это жена автора. Даниэль составил завещание 4 сентября 1619 года и умер в следующем месяце; он был похоронен 14 октября 1619 года в церкви Святого Георгия в Беккинтоне. В 1650-х годах его бывшая ученица, Энн Клиффорд, воздвигла в церкви мемориальный памятник в его честь.
In 1609, Daniel published his final version of The Civil Wars, a work that now extended to eight books. Daniel dedicated the work to Mary Sidney, the patron who had helped first bring him to prominence. In the dedication to the epic poem, he stated that he had intended to continue the work "unto the glorious union of Henry VII", meaning the marriage of Henry Tudor (Queen Elizabeth's grandfather) to Elizabeth of York in 1486. The final version of the poem, however, only extended through Edward IV's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in 1464. In the dedication, Daniel also stated that he intended to write a prose "History of England, from the Conquest", introducing the principal project that was to occupy the rest of his literary career and life. Daniel spent most of the final decade of his life in semi retirement, living at a country house in the small hamlet of Ridge (now Rudge) in the village of Beckington in Somerset. In 1610, he wrote the masque Tethys' Festival, which was performed at Whitehall to celebrate the investiture of King James's son, Henry, as Prince of Wales. During the next few years, Daniel conducted research on English history, relying in part on the expertise and collections of his friends, the antiquarians William Camden and Robert Cotton. In 1612, he published the first instalment of his prose history, The First Part of the History of England, an edition covering the early years of England's history, from the Norman Conquest (1066) through the end of the reign of King Stephen (1154). In 1614, he wrote the pastoral play, Hymen's Triumph, which was performed to celebrate the wedding of Jean Drummond to Robert Ker, 1st Earl of Roxburghe at Queen Anne's new palace, Somerset House. Daniel was said to have lost his place as a groom of the privy chamber to Anne of Denmark in 1618 for visiting a disgraced courtier, Robert Lloyd alias Flood. The final version of Daniel's prose history, The Collection of the History of England was published in 1618. It included material from The First Part of the History and continued from the point where that work had left off through the end of the reign of Edward III (1377). The final work that Daniel wrote was a poem addressed to James Montague, Bishop of Winchester, in 1618. It was intended to console the Bishop who was suffering from jaundice. The work suggests that Daniel may have been suffering from the same illness; he says of "this close vanquishing / And secret wasting sickness" that he had "struggled with it too". It is unclear if Daniel was ever married. The burial of a "Mrs. Daniell" is recorded in the Beckington register in March 1619, seven months before Daniel's death; however, it is unknown if this was the author's wife. Daniel executed his will on 4 September 1619 and died the following month; he was buried on 14 October 1619 at St George's Church in Beckington. In the 1650s, Daniel's old student, Anne Clifford, had a memorial monument erected to honour him at the church.
Работы

Даниил и Шекспир
Сэмюэл Дэниел родился на год-два раньше Уильяма Шекспира и умер на три года позже него. Литературная карьера обоих началась в 1590-х и завершилась в 1610-х годах. Оба писателя добились успеха и стали признанными ведущими авторами эпохи, хотя Шекспир был теснее связан с популярным театром, а Дэниел – с придворной поэзией и знатными меценатами. Литературоведы в целом согласны с тем, что многие пьесы и стихотворения Шекспира испытали влияние произведений Сэмюэля Дэниела, тогда как вопрос о возможном влиянии пьес Шекспира на творчество Дэниела остаётся предметом дискуссий. Исследователь творчества Сэмюэля Дэниела, Джон Питчер, утверждает: "Показателем качества и значимости Дэниела как писателя служит то внимание, с которым Шекспир следил за его публикациями и свободно использовал их. Но было бы глубоко несправедливо принижать роль Дэниела, оставляя его в тени Шекспира".
Samuel Daniel was born a year or two before William Shakespeare and died three years after him. The literary careers of both started in the 1590s and ended in the 1610s. Both writers enjoyed success and came to be regarded as leading authors of the period, though Shakespeare was more associated with the popular stage and Daniel with courtly poetry and noble patrons. Literary scholars generally accept that many of Shakespeare's plays and poems were influenced by Samuel Daniel's works, while the possible influence of Shakespeare's plays on Daniel's works has been more subject to debate. Samuel Daniel scholar, John Pitcher, states, "One measure of Daniel's quality and importance as a writer is the assiduousness with which Shakespeare followed and drew freely on his every publication. But it would be deeply unfair to leave Daniel in Shakespeare's wake".
Личные отношения
В эссе Альберта Хартхорна, опубликованном в 1899 году в журнале The Archaeological Journal, сообщалось, что во время своего отдыха Даниэль "принимал друзей, среди которых были Шекспир, Чапман, Марлоу из "могучего поколения", Дрейтон и Джонсон". Тот факт, что Кристофер Марлоу умер в 1593 году, за много лет до выхода Даниэля на пенсию, и то, что у Даниэля были напряженные отношения с Джонсоном, заставляет усомниться в достоверности этого утверждения в целом. Нет прямых доказательств того, что Даниэль был дружен с Шекспиром или знал его лично, хотя они, вероятно, имели множество общих знакомых, включая Джона Флорио, Генри Виротсли, Уильяма Герберта и Бена Джонсона.
An essay by Albert Harthshorne in 1899 in The Archaeological Journal reported that during his retirement, Daniel "received his friends, among them Shakespeare, Chapman, Marlowe of the 'mighty line', Drayton, and Jonson". The facts that Christopher Marlowe had died in 1593, many years before Daniel's retirement, and that Daniel had an acrimonious relationship with Jonson, casts doubt on the comment as a whole. There is no direct evidence that Daniel was friendly with Shakespeare or knew him personally, although they likely shared many common acquaintances, including John Florio, Henry Wriothesley, William Herbert, and Ben Jonson.
Современные издания и недавние ссылки на Даниила
В последний раз подробное издание сочинений Даниэля было опубликовано в конце девятнадцатого века – пятитомник "Complete Works in Verse and Prose" (1885–1896) под редакцией Александра Баллоха Гросарта. В течение двадцатого века вышли два сборника избранных произведений: "Поэмы и защита рифмы" (1930), издание, сохраняющее оригинальное раннее современное написание и пунктуацию, отредактированное Артуром Колби Спрагом, и "Избранная поэзия и защита рифмы" (1998), модернизированное издание, отредактированное Джеффри Г. Хиллером и Питером Л. Гроувсом. В настоящее время Джон Питчер работает над многотомным критическим изданием полных сочинений Даниэля, которое будет опубликовано издательством Оксфордского университета. "Трагедия Клеопатры" была поставлена Центром современных обменов Университетского колледжа Лондона (UCL) в 2013 году в рамках проекта, целью которого было выяснить, возможно ли сценическое воплощение "драмы для чтения". Запись спектакля доступна на Vimeo, а анализ постановки включен в книгу Ясмин Аршад "Воображая Клеопатру: исполнение гендера и власти в ранней Новой Англии". Даниэль – важный второстепенный персонаж в романе Наоми Миллер "Неидеальный алхимик", представляющем собой художественный рассказ о Мэри Сидни.
The last time a thorough edition of the works of Daniel appeared in print was in the late nineteenth century, in the five volume Complete Works in Verse and Prose (1885–1896), edited by Alexander Balloch Grosart. Two collections of selected works were published during the twentieth century: Poems and a Defence of Ryme (1930), an edition that preserves the original early modern spelling and punctuation, edited by Arthur Colby Sprague, and Selected Poetry and a Defense of Rhyme (1998), a modernized edition, edited by Geoffrey G. Hiller and Peter L. Groves. John Pitcher is currently working on a multi volume critical edition of Daniel's complete works to be published by Oxford University Press. Daniel's Tragedy of Cleopatra was staged by the University College London (UCL) Centre for Modern Exchanges in 2013 as part of a project to evaluate if the "closet drama" was performable. A recording of the performance is available on Vimeo and an analysis of it is included in Yasmin Arshad's book Imagining Cleopatra: Performing Gender and Power in Early Modern England. Daniel is a significant supporting character in the novel Imperfect Alchemist, by Naomi Miller, a fictionalized account of Mary Sidney.
