“…Several recent studies have even argued successfully that Stanyhurst is as consciously domestic in his choice of words as he is foreign in his choice of metre (cf. Tudeau‐Clayton, ‘Richard Carew’ 511–512, Crane 67–69 and Burrow 25). 26 On the other hand, not even Daniel with his nationalistic rhetoric of good old native custom was entirely able to conceal the fact that the rhyming tradition, which he so passionately defended, owed in its present state just as much to foreign precedent and imitation as the English hexameters he detested.…”

This article examines one of the crucial links between the flourishing activity of Elizabethan translators and 16th‐century vernacular poetics: the controversy about a possible reform of English metre according to classical precedent, later known as the Elizabethan quantitative verse movement. Far from subordinating critical concerns to the demands of translational practice or political decorum, Elizabethan translations, such as Richard Stanyhurst’s version of the first four books of Virgil’s Aeneid, were often a privileged site for literary experiment, thus provoking controversy and stimulating a more self‐conscious reflection on vernacular poetic practice. Re‐examining the allegedly futile and eccentric discussions about a quantitative reform of English metre from the point of view of translation studies demonstrates how even a supposed dead end in literary history was in fact part of the complex process in which 16th‐century English literary identity was slowly being developed and redefined through interlingual dialogue.

“…During this time in the Middle Atlantic Region, signs of increasing social complexity are seen in geographically isolated examples of burial ceremonialism at sites like Savich Farm in the New Jersey Coastal Plain (Burrow, 1997;Regensburg, 1971, n.d.), and cultural systems based in coastal areas with highly productive and predictable resources that are circumscribed, including Chesapeake Bay/Delmarva Peninsula areas (Custer, 1989). Given the presumed importance of social hierarchies and the communication of status in these systems, it is significant that these same geographic areas reveal the earliest evidence of focused exchange, caching, and hoarding.…”

Changing Patterns of Native American Trade in the Middle Atlantic Region and Chesapeake Watershed: A World Systems Perspective

Types of trade and trends in the movement of material goods within the Middle Atlantic Region and with adjacent regions is summarized beginning ca 2500 BC. The timing of cycles of trade and the social and cultural developments that may be linked to them are compared with developments in adjacent regions. While it is clear that native peoples of the Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake areas are interacting with their contemporaries in other geographic areas, trends in trade and socio-cultural developments are not synchronous. The world systems of the Chesapeake and Middle Atlantic Region after 2500 BC are relatively small and somewhat insular, at least in comparison with those of the Midwest and Southeast. Although there is evidence of interaction with cultures and societies in adjacent regions, this interaction is not systemic, especially as regards trade. No core-periphery differentiation appears to exist. There is no clear archaeological evidence of more economically and socially developed cultures dominating or exploiting less developed ones intra-regionally or inter-regionally prior to the time of Native-European contact.
