Heyse, PAUL JOHANN LUDWIQ 

 (1830-1914). Germannovelist,poet, 

 and dramatist. He was born at 

 Berlin, March 

 15, 1830, and 

 educated at 

 Bonn Univer- 

 sity. After 

 travelling in 

 Italy, which 

 lie frequently 

 re-visited, he 

 was summon- 



German writer milia? o^V*- 

 varia, whose 



attention he had attracted by his 

 epic poems, to Munich, where he 

 spent the rest of his life. His best 

 work is seen in his short stories and 

 longer novels on social and religious 

 questions, the best of these being 

 L'Arrabbiata (Eng. trans. 1867), 

 Children of the World (Eng. trans. 

 1882), In Paradise, and Merlin. 



His dramas, though they reach 

 a high standard of literary excel- 

 lence, were unsuited for the stage ; 

 Hans Lange, Kolberg, and Mary of 

 Magdala, however, enj oy ed a certain 

 amount of success. His work 

 shows the influence of his intimate 

 acquaintance with Italy and its 

 people. Heyse obtained the Nobel 

 prize for Literature. See his auto- 

 biography, Youthful Reminiscences 

 and Confessions, 1901-12.

Heywood, JOHN (c. 1497-1580). 

 English epigrammatist and writer 

 of interludes. A Roman Catholic 

 and friend of Sir T. More, he is be- 

 lieved to have been at Oxford, and 

 was a favourite of Henry VIII and 

 Queen Mary. His Proverbs on 

 Marriage proved a rich quarry for 

 the Elizabethan dramatists. The 

 Four PP is his best interlude. His 

 complete works were edited by 

 J. S. Farmer, 1905-6. 



Heywood, THOMAS (d. c. 1650). 

 English actor and dramatist. He 

 is supposed to have been born 

 , in Lincolnshire and 

 .; educated at Peter- 

 house, Cambridge. 

 In 1598 he became 

 an actor in Hen- 

 slowe's company 

 and, after the ac- 

 cession of James I, 

 a member of the 

 queen's company 

 of players. About 

 1596 he wrote his 

 first play, The Four 

 Prentices of Lon- 

 don (printed 1615), 

 and in 1633, in a 

 prefatory address 

 to The Traveller, 

 he claimed to have had "either an 

 entire hand, or at the least a main 

 finger " in 220 plays. Of these 

 pieces only 35 are known to exist. 

 He attempted every kind of 

 drama, and also wrote pageants, four 

 of which are still extant, poems, 

 translations, and various prose 

 works, including An Apology for 

 the Lord Mayor, 1631-39; Several 

 Actors, 1612; Nine Books of 

 Women, 1624; and a Life of 

 Queen Elizabeth, 1631. Of his 

 plays, Edward IV, 1600, and A 

 Woman Killed With Kindness, 

 1603, are perhaps the best ex-

amples ; the first of his work in 

 what was known as the " chronicle 

 history," and the second of the 

 domestic drama of sentiment. A 

 collection of his extant plays was 

 published, 6 vols., 1874, and a se- 

 lection from them, ed. J. A. Sy- 

 monds, in the Mermaid Series, 

 1903. See Select Plays, ed. J. A. 

 Symonds and A. W. Verity, 1888. 



Hezekiah. King of Judah (2 

 Kings 16, 18-20 ; 2 Chron. 29-30). 

 He succeeded his father, Ahaz, at 

 the age of 25, and was a notable re- 

 former, who abolished the centres of 

 idolatrous worship and destroyed 

 the brazen serpent of Moses, 

 which at this time seems to have 

 been regarded as a kind of idol. He 

 also cleansed the Temple and re- 

 stored the worship of Jehovah. For 

 a time he continued the tributary 

 alliance with Assyria, but later re- 

 pudiated it and had to face two in- 

 vasions under Sennacherib. The 

 first of these was partly successful, 

 but in the second Hezekiah com- 

 pletely routed his foes. He was a 

 man of considerable literary and 

 poetic gifts, and is regarded by the 

 Jews as one of their most famous 

 monarchs. 



H.H. Abbrev. for His (or Her) 

 Highness : His Holiness (the Pope). 



Hiawatha. One of the many 

 names of a traditional personage of 

 miraculous birth. He is believed by 

 various tribes of the N. American 

 Indians to have been sent to teach 

 them the arts of peace. 



Hiawatha, THE SONG OF. Epic 

 poem by H. W. Longfellow, 1855, 

 embodying the legends and tradi- 

 tions of the N. American In- 

 dians. Taking as model for his 

 verse form the unrhymed Finnish 

 epic of The Kalevala, the poet gave 

 the story of Hiawatha from his 

 wondrous birth to his final passing 

 "To the land of the Hereafter," 

 and embodied in it much of Indian 

 lore. Written in unrhymed tro- 

 chaic tetrameters, the novelty of 

 its form provoked much criticism 

 at first, but it is now not unjustly 

 regarded as Longfellow's greatest 

 achievement. 



Hibbert Trust, THJS. Trust 

 founded under the will of Robert 

 Hibbert (1770-1849). The income 

 arising from the funds is applied in 

 such manner as the trustees deem 

 conducive to the spread of Chris- 

 tianity in its simplest form, and to 

 the exercise of private judgement in 

 religion. The Hibbert lectures are 

 delivered under the auspices of the 

 Trust. The Hibbert Journal was 

 founded in 1902 with its support. 

 Scholarships for post-graduate 

 study are awarded to suitable stu- 

 dents for the ministry. The office 

 is in Gordon Square, London, W.C.
