Book review

An analysis of the body of supplements and continuations written during the first half of the 17th century around Sir Philip Sidney's romance, The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia, may usefully be approached as a precedent for fan fiction practice. The incomplete nature of the Arcadia as published left a number of textual gaps that were filled by later writers, with many of their works coming to be included within subsequent reissues of the Arcadia itself. The texts discussed include William Alexander and James Johnstoun's supplements to book 3, Richard Belling's Sixth Booke, Anna Weamys's Continuation, Gervase Markham's English Arcadia, and an anonymous Historie of Arcadia in manuscript. Like contemporary fan fiction, these works adopt Sidney's characters and setting in order to fill apparent gaps, propel the story toward a happy ending, or recast it in an altogether different mold. Moreover, the paratextual materials surrounding these texts—including prefaces, dedications, and commendatory poems—provide important evidence about early modern conceptions of authorship, originality, and literary property.

Cette note retrace l'histoire des recherches visant à trouver la vraie identité de l'auteur d'une étude sur la langue Chamorro parue, en 1940, à la Haye et évoque les fausses pistes suivies par certains chercheurs. Il s'agit en fait de Hermann Costenoble, un linguiste amateur d'origine allemande qui vécut aux Carolines, au Guam et aux Philippines et qui mourut en 1942 à la suite de l'invasion des Philippines par les Japonais.
