Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    Thomas Bowdler was so offended by the language and concepts in Shakespere that he published an expurgated version with all the parts he considered immoral removed. This is his copy of Othello showing how he crossed out entire sections and certain lines he particularly objected to are crossed out so heavily his pen almost goes through the paper. Bowdler was so adamant that Shakespeare’s original words should never be seen by women and children that he was ridiculed and his name became a word - bowdlerize - that became associated with absurd moral censorship.
