Charles Robert Darwin(12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who realised and presented compelling evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors, through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and much of the general public in his lifetime, while his theory of natural selection came to be widely seen as the primary explanation of the process of evolution in the 1930s, and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory. In modified form, Darwin’s scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, providing logical explanation for the diversity of life.
At Edinburgh University Darwin neglected medical studies to investigate marine invertebrates, then the University of Cambridge encouraged a passion for natural science. His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell’s uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author. Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage, Darwin investigated the transmutation of species and conceived his theory of natural selection in 1838. Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists, he needed time for extensive research and his geological work had priority.He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay which described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication of both of their theories.
His 1859 book On the Origin of Species established evolutionary descent with modification as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature.[1] He examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. His research on plants was published in a series of books, and in his final book, he examined earthworms and their effect on soil.[7]
In recognition of Darwin’s pre-eminence, he was one of only five 19th-century UK non-royal personages to be honoured by a state funeral,[8] and was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton.[9]

TUDOR LONDON
Tudor London can be described as a prosperous, bustling city during the Tudor dynasty. In fact, the population increased from 75,000 inhabitants with Henry VII to 200,000 at the end of the 16th century.The Tudor monarchs had a royal residence in London called Whitehall Palace and another in the countryside,called Hampton court , after Cardinal Wolsey gave it to Henry VIII.These Tudor kings and queens used what are now famous parks , such as Hyde Park or St. James's Park , as Royal Hunting forests.Not many Tudor buildings survive today, mostly because of The Great Fire , which happened in 1666. Besides, , the 13 religious houses in London were converted for private use or pulled down for building materials after the Dissolution of the monasteries, which was Henry VIII's most decisive step against the power of the church in 1538. First the small, less powerful houses had their property confiscated and their buildings blighted (made unsuitable for use). They were followed the next year by the large houses.Philosophical concepts of the power of the king over church may have played a part in Henry's decision to suppress the monasteries, but so did greed. The monasteries were rich, and a lot of that wealth found its way directly or indirectly to the royal treasury. Some of the monastery buildings were sold to wealthy gentry for use as country estates. Many others became sources of cheap building materials for local inhabitants. One of the results of the Dissolution of the Monasteries is that those who bought the old monastic lands were inclined to support Henry in his break with Rome, purely from self interest.Apart from that, the theatres were banned from the city by the city authorities or guilds because plays wasted workmen's time ( so it wasn't for religious objection to the play's contents ). Then, they were built in the Southwark, where now a reconstruction of the Globe can be visited to learn about Tudor theatre.At that time, London's financial rival was the city of Amsterdam, and to be able to compete with it , an international exchange was created in 1566.(It was founded by the mercer Thomas Gresham in 1566 to enable London to compete for financial power with Amsterdam. This became the Royal Exchange in 1560, and is now housed in a massive Victorian building beside the Bank of England Museum in Mansion House Square.)So, all in all, and because of many other events and facts, we can say that both London and England were powerful.

POEM: ROMEO AND JULIET
Dancing and partying all night,
flirting with Romeo
marrying Romeo at the Church
mourning and weeping over Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment
sleeping with Romeo on their wedding night
disobeying her father when he told her she was to marry Paris
drinking the potion Friar Lawrence gave to her so she will not have to marry Paris
waking and seeing Romeo dead with poison and his dagger by his side
killing herself with Romeo’s dagger so they will together in heaven
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo.

New Style Of Theatre
With the reopening of the theaters in 1594, Shakespeare is associated with the companion of Lord Chamberlain, who was the queen's cousin, joined the companion of Lord Admiral. It is a great opportunity to Shakespeare: in just over two ants write: Romeo and Juliet, the dream of a summer night, The amanssiment of Fury, The Merchant of Venice, Richard II.
The government only allows the children's performances, but these end up taking a critical tone even more corrosive than those of adults. Shakespeare criticizes this atmosphere in one of the largest tragedies that writes, Henry IV, a play starring the sarcastic and relaxing Falstaff (a character in Shakespeare recover the glory of Windsor married.)
Three works are for young players decided that, in the absence of sensible men, adopting the role of boys; Much ado about nothing, At your discretion and Twelfth Night.
The 1597 forced the owner of the land to leave "The theater" the Lord Chamberlain's men are forced to act "The curtain". the night of Christmas 1598, in secret, takes wood and moved to the other side of the Thames, where constueixen "The Globe". The North translated that Thomas had just taken from Plutarch would facilitate the historic mateial to trirar endevant his new pronjecte positioning it to Rome

LEARN ABOUT SHAKESPEARE
1. What was the name of the company Shakespeare belonged to ?
2. How many companies were licensed to perform in London ?
3. Why did Shakespeare's company build the Globe ?
4. What did Shakespeare's company use to build the Globe ?
5. Who built the Globe ?
6. When the Globe was built , there were two other theatres in Southwark already. Which ones ?
7. When was it built ?
8. How and when was it destroyed ?
9. When was it rebuilt ?
10. When was it finally pulled down ? Why ?
11. Explain how acting at the Globe was like.
ANSWERS
1. Lord Chamberlain's Men
2. Two: the Globe and the Fortune
3. Shakespeare's company only built the Globe because they could not use the special playhouse that their chief actor Richard Burbage's father had built for them in 1596, a roofed theatre inside the city, in Blackfriars.
4. It was built in 1599 by two brothers; Richard and Cuthbert Burbage
5. The Theatre had closed, ostensibly for good, in 1597, and the owner of the land on which it stood threatened to pull the building down once the lease had expired. The Burbages and their associates anticipated the threat, however, and in late 1598 dismantled The Theatre and carried the materials to Bankside (a district of Southwark stretching for about half a mile west of London Bridge on the south bank of the River Thames).
Without The Theatre, the company had to rent a playhouse. Then at the end of 1598 they decided to build one for themselves. The shortage of cash made the consortium reluctant traditionalists, giving up the idea of an indoor theatre in the city and using the old Theatre's timbers and therefore the same basic auditorium shape for the new building. The old playhouse was one of their few remaining resources. They could not use it in situ because the lease had expired, so they dismantled it and took the timbers (illegally) to make the skeleton of their new amphitheatre. The Globe was a cut-price and fortuitous construction.
6. The Swan and The Rose
7. It was completed by the autumn of 1599
8.In 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, the thatch of the Globe was accidentally set alight by a cannon, set off to mark the King's entrance onstage in a scene at Cardinal Wolsey's palace. The entire theatre was destroyed within the hour.
9. June 1614
10. In 1644, to make way for tenement dwellings.
11. Acting at the Globe was radically different from viewing modern Shakespeare on screen.The plays were staged in the afternoons, using the light of day. Therefore, all references to weather or time of the day had to be given to the audience through the text.The audience surrounded the stage on all sides. No scenery was used, except for occasional emblematic devices like a throne or a bed. It was almost impossible not to see the other half of the audience standing behind the players. Consequently much of the staging was metatheatrical, conceding the illusory nature of the game of playing, and making little pretense to stage realism .
