ILLUSTRATIONS

between pages 20 and 21

T HIS THIRD and final volume of Collected Essays by Frances Yates has, like the second volume, been put together in fulfilment of her plans. The choice of materials for inclusion is, however, ours. To the previously printed essays which make up the bulk of the book, we have added at the end a selection, made by J. N. Hillgarth, of some autobiographical fragments intended by Dame Frances for working up into publishable form. We have also added a list of her published writings. We hope that we have thus made clear that our aim in putting together these volumes has been not only to make available in a convenient and compendious form the articles and reviews of Frances Yates, which might otherwise not be easy to consult, but also to give some idea of the intellectual formation and development of a remarkable and invigorating scholar.

In acknowledging responsibility for the selection of materials for this volume, we must say that we have also added titles to certain reviews. Titles of Dame Francess contributions to Encounter, New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, the Times Higher Education Supplement and the Times Literary Supplement were composed by the respective sub-editors.

The journals named, and The Book Collector, the English Historical Review, History, The Listener, Modern Language Review, the Review of English Studies, Johns Hopkins University Press and Phaidon Press have generously given permission to reprint essays and reviews which were first published by them.

We are grateful also to the following for permission to illustrate objects in their ownership or charge: the Muse Granet, Palais de Malte, Aix-en-Provence, the Courtauld Institute Galleries, the Public Record Office, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Trust, Dunster Castle, and the Earl of Radnor, Longford Castle.

Professor Stephen Rees-Jones and Professor Marion L. Kuntz have kindly allowed us to reprint brief contributions by them in items 1 and 18 respectively. We owe special thanks to Angela Barlow, Anne Marie Meyer, Judith Wardman (who read the proofs and made the index), and D. P. Walker (for advice on selection).

London, August 1983

J. N. Hillgarth

J. B. Trapp

O NE OF THE most puzzling of sixteenth-century English portraits is the picture at Dunster Castle, the seat of the Luttrell family, of a naked man wading in an angry sea ( Behind him is a sinking ship from which boatloads of people are escaping; the face of a drowned corpse floats near him. He raises his right arm with clenched fist into a world of allegory, sharply separated from the scene of storm and desolation by the dark rim of the cloud within which it is set. A female figure bearing an olive branch of peace and surrounded by groups of other allegories bends down to caress the arm of the determined character in the sea. The allegory in the sky seems to form a picture in itself which is only very clumsily linked by the incongruous gesture of the man in the sea with the picture of shipwreck and storm of which he forms a part.
