The “Cobbe portrait<\/a>,” allegedly a newly-identified image of Shakespeare fully decked out in establishment conformist finery<\/em><\/p>\n

In an earlier post<\/a>, I compared Northrop Frye\u2019s and Graham Greene\u2019s readings of Henry James.\u00a0 Greene\u2019s criticism often seems eccentric, a product of the same obsessions that drive his fiction.\u00a0 His discussion of Shakespeare is as distinctive as his essays on James.\u00a0 In 1969, Greene received the Hamburg Shakespeare Prize<\/a>, endowed by an Anglophile German, and awarded to British citizens for artistic achievement.\u00a0 He marked the occasion with an address entitled \u201cThe Virtue of Disloyalty\u201d which begins,<\/p>\n

Surely if there is one supreme poet of conservatism, of what we now call the Establishment, it is Shakespeare. . . .\u00a0 If there is one word which chimes through Shakespeare\u2019s early plays it is the word \u201cpeace.\u201d\u00a0 In times of political trouble the Establishment always appeals to this ideal of peace. . . .\u00a0 Peace as a nostalgia for a lost past: peace which Shakespeare associated like a retired colonial governor with firm administration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In what follows, two of Greene\u2019s major obsessions, Roman Catholicism and betrayal, coalesce in a discussion which, however inadequate as Shakespeare criticism, reveals much about Greene\u2019s view of the writer\u2019s role in society.\u00a0 One should bear in mind that the speech was given during the Cold War, at a time when Russian dissident writers were much in the minds of people in the west, and that it was given to a German audience, about twenty-five years after the end of the second world war.<\/p>\n

Greene is deliberately provocative in the sardonic manner in which he discusses the great national poet after whom the prize was named.\u00a0 \u201cThere are moments,\u201d he says, \u201cwhen we revolt against this bourgeois poet on his way to the house at Stratford and his coat of arms, and we sometimes tire even of the great tragedies, where the marvellous beauty of the verse takes away the sting and the last lines heal all, with right supremacy re-established by Fortinbras, Malcolm and Octavius Caesar.\u201d\u00a0 Greene then continues:<\/p>\n

Of course he is the greatest of poets, but we who live in times just as troubled as his, times full of the deaths of tyrants, a time of secret agents, assassinations and plots and torture chambers, sometimes feel ourselves more at home with the sulphurous anger of Dante, the self-disgust of Baudelaire and the blasphemies of Villon, poets who dared to reveal themselves whatever the danger, and the danger was very real.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shakespeare does not, for Greene, belong in the company of Russians such as Pasternak and Solzhenitsyn, though, anticipating recent postcolonial critics, he detects a note of rebellious outrage in Caliban\u2019s speech \u201cYou taught me language; and my profit on\u2019t \/ Is, I know how to curse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greene then goes on to contrast Shakespeare, \u201cthe great poet of the Establishment,\u201d with the brilliant but minor poet and Jesuit martyr Robert Southwell<\/a>.\u00a0 If only Shakespeare had shared Southwell\u2019s disloyalty, Greene says, \u201cwe could have loved him better as a man.\u201d\u00a0 The remainder of the short essay argues that the writer should be opposed to the State, acting as a devil\u2019s advocate in the face of official efforts at scapegoating.\u00a0 The writer should always be counter-cultural, \u201ca Protestant in a Catholic society, a Catholic in a Protestant one.\u201d\u00a0 The writer should be ready to change sides at a moment\u2019s notice, for \u201cHe stands for the victims, and the victims change.\u201d\u00a0 This does not mean that the writer is a propagandist, but rather someone who enlarges the bounds of sympathy, \u201cmaking the work of the State a degree more difficult.\u201d\u00a0 Greene concludes, perhaps to the discomfort of some in his audience \u2013 apparently the lecture was received enthusiastically by the students who were present \u2013 by presenting, as his final example of the virtue of disloyalty the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer<\/a>, who \u201cchose to be hanged like our English poet Southwell.\u00a0 He is a greater hero for the writer than Shakespeare.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Virtue of Disloyalty\u201d is a brilliant, unfair, in places inaccurate essay, very much part of the twentieth-century debate about the way that a writer should be engaged in society.\u00a0 Which brings me back to Frye, who made a significant place in his critical universe for Dante, Baudelaire, and Villon, but a much larger one for Shakespeare.\u00a0 Frye would I think agree with Greene\u2019s argument that the writer exists in opposition to the state.\u00a0 On the other hand, he separated the writer from the man in a way that Greene does not do here, so that, for example, Frye could regard T. S. Eliot as a major poet while repudiating the religious, political, and cultural values that Eliot championed.\u00a0 Similarly, in Myth and Metaphor<\/em> and elsewhere, Frye distinguishes between the ideology of Shakespeare\u2019s plays and their metaphorical vision of life, using the example of Henry V<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In A Room of One\u2019s Own<\/em>, Virginia Woolf instances Shakespeare and Jane Austen as two writers whose genius makes them \u201cincandescent,\u201d obliterating all traces of the person and leaving only the art.\u00a0 Marilyn Butler<\/a>, in Jane Austen and the War of Ideas<\/em>, challenged this notion by arguing that Austen\u2019s novels are an explicit intervention in the heated ideological debates of the revolutionary period in which she lived.\u00a0 New historicists have made similar analyses of Shakespeare, and in some ways they repeat the old historicist ideas of Greene in his calculatedly provocative lecture.\u00a0 Greene was someone who knew the colonial world well, from his restless travelling, and he had a temperamental sympathy with rebels, losers, and outcasts.\u00a0 His influence on political journalists has been immense, and is captured vividly in an article by Christopher Hitchens in The Atlantic<\/em><\/a> in 2005:<\/p>\n

A journalist, most especially an Anglo-American travel writer, will run the risk of disappointing his editor if he visits Saigon and leaves out any reference to quiet Americans, or turns in a piece from Havana that fails to mention the hapless Wormold. As for Brighton, or Vienna, or Haiti\u2014Greene was there just before you turned up. Leaving the Orient Express<\/em>, you will glimpse the tail of a raincoat just at the moment when that intriguing and anonymous fellow passenger vanishes discreetly at the end of the platform. In Mexico or Sierra Leone some old veteran will mumble something about the stranger in the off-white suit who was asking the same questions only a while back. On one of my first ventures as a foreign correspondent, in 1975, I sat in the garden bar of a taverna<\/em> in Nicosia, reading about the adventures of Dr. Saavedra in The Honorary Consul<\/em>, visualizing what I had just seen along the haunted \u201cGreen Line<\/a>\u201d that slashed through the ruins of the city, and moaning with relief that Graham Greene had never been to Cyprus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Greene\u2019s essay of 1969 raises questions about the religious and political allegiances of William Shakespeare that have been hotly debated by scholars in recent years.\u00a0 It also asks the kind of questions about the role of the writer in society that were fashionable in the middle of the twentieth century, and that may seem na\u00efve and idealistic in comparison to the Byzantine theorizing of such questions that prevails at the present.\u00a0 Greene no doubt delighted in presenting what he called \u201ca speech attacking Shakespeare\u201d on the occasion of his receiving the Shakespeare prize, for there was a part of him that remained, throughout his life, the naughty boy defying authority.\u00a0 (He had attended Berkhamsted School<\/a>, where his father was headmaster, and schools and headmasters are presented negatively all through Greene\u2019s work.)\u00a0 But given the way that the figure of \u201cthe Bard\u201d was constructed along with British nationalism, it may be worth trying to respond to the critique that Greene makes, and to think about the relationship between Frye\u2019s Shakespeare criticism and that of new historicism.\u00a0 But I will leave it to those more knowledgeable in this area than I am to develop this argument, should they wish so to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
