Cuttyhunk and Shakespeare, Dr. E. E. Hals
Is convinced that the connection between the
two is rather close. He traces paralesms be-
tween various portions of The Tempest and
the contemporary accounts OF GOsnOd'S
pertences on the New-England island. and he
thinks that the poet undoubtedly used in his
play some of the details of the mariners report.
lie reminds us that the Concord. GOsnolds
vessel, was sent out by Lord Southampton,
Shakespeare's patron. and that the qUarres OF
the gentlemen adventureTs'' and the drunken
sailors of the vessel must have been brought
20 southampton for adjustment when the men
returned to England. Now observe he says,
that William Shakespeare is on Southamptons
stan at that moment. probably living with him,
and that he is contemplating already, probably
writing. The Tempest I think the critics now
all unite in saying that the date Of the acting
OF The Tempest is lGO3 This corresponds eX-
actly with the time of GOsnOlds S return. In
SOuthampton's house Shakespeare must have
met the drunken sailors on one side. and the
gentlemen adventureTS' on the other. He heard
there, possibly for the first time, of mussels
from the rocks. of pignuts, of scameIs or sea
news from the rocks. whatever they were, and
the rest of the bill of fare of the island.
From the narrative he learned how lush and
lusty the grass looks. how green Meadows

, quarrel between the gentlemen adventures
and the seamen runs all through the play one
doesn't wonder indeed. that gentlemen ad-

In brief think there can be no doubt that
the local COlOring of The Tempest is in part
derived from the narrative of GOsnolds al
ventures. This conviction gave me courage 70
