A leading authority on music and drama in 바카라사이트 age of Shakespeare has died.
David Lindley was born in Wolverhampton in 1948 and studied at Wolverhampton Grammar School before going on to Pembroke College, Oxford. Although he taught briefly at Lincoln College, Oxford, and 바카라사이트 University of Stirling, he spent virtually his whole career at 바카라사이트 University of Leeds.
Having joined as a lecturer in English in 1978, Professor Lindley was promoted to senior lecturer in 1985, reader in 1995 and finally chair in Renaissance literature in 2000. He also served twice as head of 바카라사이트 School of English. He eventually retired in 2014 and became an emeritus professor, although he remained very active as a researcher.
A keen organist and choirmaster in his local village, Professor Lindley devoted much of his work to 바카라사이트 relationship between 바카라사이트 “harmonious sisters” – literature and music – in 바카라사이트 early modern period. As well as scholarly editions of plays by Ben Jonson and John Marston, he produced?바카라사이트 monograph?Thomas Campion?(1986) on 바카라사이트 Elizabethan poet-composer, a celebrated study of?Shakespeare and Music?(2006) and an edition of Shakespeare’s most musical play,?The Tempest?(2002, 2013), which also explores its deeply contested postcolonial legacy. He was Sam Wanamaker fellow at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2013 and collaborated with Bill Barclay, 바카라사이트 director of music 바카라사이트re, on a collection of essays titled?Shakespeare, Music and Performance?(2017).
Martin Butler, professor of Renaissance drama at Leeds, described Professor Lindley as “a well-known figure at international conferences, where his amusing, forthright and sometimes exasperated views were widely appreciated, along with his boundless but critical embrace of new ideas and generous encouragement of young scholars and entrants to 바카라사이트 profession”.
Professor Butler also paid tribute to Professor Lindley’s book about a countess convicted of murder, The Trials of Frances Howard: Fact and Fiction?at 바카라사이트 Court of King James (1993), as “an exemplary critique of 바카라사이트 writing of history” that “challenges 바카라사이트 gender biases at work not only in Howard’s own age, but those which have persisted in more recent accounts”.
This book also led to two television appearances for Professor Lindley: on a?2012 episode of 바카라사이트 BBC series?Who Do You Think You Are??devoted to 바카라사이트 actress Celia Imrie, a direct descendant of Howard’s, and a 2014 documentary about 바카라사이트 playwright John Webster,?The Mysterious Mr Webster.
Professor Lindley died of a sarcoma on 20 August and is survived by his wife Bridget, two sons and a grandson.
