This chapter sketches what is known of Heywood’s early life and career, taking him from Coventry in the early 1500s to the royal household in the 1520s, setting out both what is known about these early years and what is not. It offers close readings of two short interludes which it is suggested were produced for performance within the humanist circle around John Rastell and Thomas More, possibly on Rastell’s newly built domestic stage at his house in Finsbury Fields. It identifies elements of these early plays that would become characteristic of Heywood’s later dramaturgy, with its subtle, innovative approach to audience engagement.

Catholic Faith

Robert Sutton is a name that occurs quite often in sixteenth century records. It was borne by two of the English martyrs under Elizabeth I, the only two, among the three hundred and sixty martyrs at present officially listed, to bear identical names. One of these was a layman, a school-master, hanged at Clerkenwell in October 1588 for being reconciled to the Catholic faith (1). The other was a secular priest hanged, drawn and quartered at Stafford a year earlier (2). The present note concerns the priest, but since further contemporaries of these two martyrs also had the same name, others, too, will be mentioned in the course of investigating the early years of the Ven. Robert Sutton, the priest martyr of 1587.

Background: To explore the associations between birth weight and body mass index (BMI) from 6 months to 6 years of age, with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), physical activity, and sedentary time in adolescence. Methods: Retrospective school-based study with 539 adolescents (292 girls), mean age of 13.94 (1.62) years. Anthropometric data from birth up to 6 years were extracted from individual child health booklets. CRF was estimated by 20-m shuttle run test. Physical activity and sedentary time were assessed with accelerometers. Results: Birth weight was not associated with any outcome measured in adolescence. From the age of 6 months onwards in girls, and from 3 years in boys, BMI associated inversely with CRF in adolescence. In girls, BMI (at 12 mo and at 3 y of age) associated positively with sedentary time in adolescence, but not with physical activity. In boys, positive associations between BMI at the ages of 3, 5, and 6 years old and time spent in some intensities of physical activity in adolescence were found. Conclusions: BMI during the early years was negatively associated with CRF in adolescence, in a consistent way, for both genders, but with physical activity and sedentary time the associations were scarce and inconsistent, depending on the gender.

The Individual

The recent resurgence of scholarly interest in the Venetian Gasparo Contarini (1483–1542), stimulated in general by the growing interest in Italian religious history and in particular by the discovery of new material, has resulted in the partial emergence of the young patrician from the obscurity which has heretofore enveloped his early years. A succession of studies in the last decade or so have now enabled us to visualize the young Contarini more clearly and have given firmer substance to a once shadowy figure. Viewing his early life from the vantage point of different interests, a number of scholars in various countries have placed Contarini more intelligibly within his milieu, illuminating not merely the individual himself but also the group with which he was associated and the institutions within which he grew to manhood.

This article appears in theOxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aestheticsedited by John Richardson, Claudia Gorbman, and Carol Vernallis. Video art can be highly intermedial. Image and sound are recorded and projected simultaneously, so the user can create live, audiovisual work. This chapter argues that the audience engagement encouraged by video art has changed significantly since it became commercially available. Early video works involved interactivity, intermediality, and the closed-circuit feed. They were often part of multimedia events rather than appearing on their own; therefore the early years of video work can be placed within a temporal, historical liminality. More recent pieces form a coherent body of work. Often shown on flat screens in darkened rooms, they offer predetermined audiovisual narratives that immerse visitors, placing them within a spatial liminality between the video world and the gallery space. Although context is vital to both styles, the activation of space and the audiovisual relationships within it are articulated and activated very differently.

Classification Of Diseases

IntroductionThis paper illustrates the use of cohort data from a population to describe the early life prevalence and odds ratios (ORs) of the main classes of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) associated with any mental disorder arising at any time during the 16 year study period.ObjectivesThe main ICD disorder classes were examined in relation to psychiatric disorders over 16 years in a cohort under the age of two years between April 1st, 1993, and January 1st, 1995.AimsTo demonstrate the utility of studying the complete profile of associated diagnoses over time in a population cohort.MethodsThe total number of individuals under the age of two years before 1995 (n = 17,603) were tallied within each main class of ICD disorder by year and expressed as ORs of those with and without any 16-year psychiatric disorder.ResultsThe greatest annual rates observed in the early years of life were for the following main ICD classes of disease: respiratory system, sense organs, symptoms signs ill-defined conditions, no diagnosis, injury poisoning, and skin subcutaneous tissue disorders. These disorders also had the highest ORs in early life given the presence of a mental disorder at any time during the study period.DiscussionKnowing the early life main class diagnoses associated with psychiatric disorders could guide both basic science research as well as early intervention social and health investment policies.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Family Home

Francis Arthur Bather, who died on March 20, 1934, was born on February 17, 1863, at Richmond, in Surrey. The name Ap-Ather indicates a Welsh ancestry, and his family home was in Shropshire. His father, Mr. A. H. Bather, a civil servant at the Admiralty, married a daughter of Bishop Blomfield, and Dr. Bather was their eldest son. His early years were spent in London, since his father lived at Roehampton; but he was sent to a preparatory school at Eastbourne whence, in 1875, he passed to Winchester. He lost his mother in early life, and while he was at Winchester his father married again. Naturalists are wont to appear sporadically, giving no premonitions of their advent; and there does not seem to have been anything in Dr. Bather’s ancestry or early environment to predispose him to a love of natural history. That he was a born naturalist is evident, and we hear of the little boy of six pestering his father for information about the fossils he is finding at the sea-side, and for books describing them. At Winchester he followed his father’s wishes, rather than his own, and studied classics; so that his scientific education was built upon a classical foundation—a method which his subsequent career entirely justified, and the results of which could be seen repeatedly to characterize his many activities, and particularly his writings. At Winchester, too, Dr. Bather developed and employed that love for wide and deep reading which continued throughout his life. Thus, on leaving Winchester for New College, Oxford, with a scholarship in Natural Science, he faced his special work with a mind well grounded in classics, natural science, and general knowledge. Of his Oxford days Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell writes: “ Bather was at New College, and I was at Christ Church.

Interacting Agents

This chapter describes what the early life of Sosipatra might have been like. It reviews the handful of details Eunapius gives about her early years and unique education by itinerant Chaldean daemons and contextualizes these by considering how other girls of Sosipatra’s class and time might have been raised and educated. To understand her education and life, it helps to know three principles about the ancient worldview: events are shaped by external invisible forces; events and actions are the products of multiple interacting agents; and all things, human and nonhuman, visible and invisible, seek to be brought into accord. Education in this Platonic lineage ideally meant assimilation to the cosmos in general and to divinity in particular.

The Relationship

After setting out the limited range of sources available that provide information on Harrington’s life, Chapter 1 explores his family connections and early years. Detail is provided on his immediate family background and the close interaction between him and his siblings as reflected in testamentary evidence. Attention is also paid to the origins of the relationship between the Harrington family and the Stuarts, especially Charles I’s sister Princess Elizabeth, later Queen of Bohemia. The chapter traces Harrington’s early life from his birth in Northamptonshire in 1611 through to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642. It examines, in particular, his education at Trinity College Oxford and the Middle Temple, and his European tour.
