There was a brief flowering of British and Irish progressive folk in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with groups like the Third Ear Band and Quintessence following the eastern Indian musical and more abstract work by acts such as Vashti Bunyan, Forest, C. O. B.

Also, Animal Collective's early albums identify closely with freak folk as does their collaboration with veteran British folk artist Vashti Bunyan, and The Microphones / Mount Eerie, who combine naturalistic elements with lo-fi and psychedelia.

She also toured the United States and Canada with Vashti Bunyan and Veitiver, joining the Welcome to Dreamland concert at Carnegie Hall, produced by David Byrne.

The character Vashti in Charlotte Brontë's novel Villette was based on Rachel, whom Brontë had seen perform in London.

The two main characters, Vashti and her son Kuno, live on opposite sides of the world.

Queen Vashti ( Hebrew: ושתי, Persian: و َ شتی, Koine Greek: Αστιν, Astin ) is the first wife of King Ahasuerus in the Book of Esther, a book included in the Tanakh ( Hebrew Bible ) and read on the Jewish holiday of Purim.

Based on Vashti's descent from a king who was responsible for the destruction of the temple as well as on her unhappy fate, the Midrash presents Vashti as wicked and vain.

Since Vashti is ordered to appear before the king on the seventh day of the feast, the rabbis argued that Vashti enslaved Jewish women and forced them to work on the Sabbath.

* Lascelles Abercrombie ( 1881 – 1938 ), a British poet also known as " The Georgian Laureate ," wrote a 40-page poem entitled " Vashti " which contains the famous lines, spoken by Ahasuerus to Vashti, on women's beauty:

Whitmer subsequently moved to Jackson County, Missouri, where he married Vashti Higley on October 14, 1832, with whom he had three children.

Ahasuerus orders the queen Vashti to display her beauty before the guests.

Ahasuerus then orders all beautiful young girls to be presented to him, so he can choose a new queen to replace Vashti.

) Amestris has often been identified with Vashti, but this identification is problematic, as Amestris remained a powerful figure well into the reign of her son, Artaxerxes I, whereas Vashti is portrayed as dismissed in the early part of Xerxes's reign.

While in " high spirits " from the wine, he ordered his queen, Vashti, to appear before him and his guests to display her beauty.

But when the attendants delivered the king's command to Queen Vashti, she refused to come.

One of them said that all the women in the empire would hear that " The King Xerxes commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

For his wife and queen, King Xerxes chose Esther, an orphan raised by her cousin Mordecai, to replace the recalcitrant Queen Vashti.

Wilson, who identified Ahasuerus with Xerxes I and Vashti with Amestris, suggested that both " Amestris " and " Esther " derived from Akkadian Ammi-Ishtar or Ummi-Ishtar.

Dianne Tidball argues that while Vashti is a " feminist icon ", Esther is a post-feminist icon.

When " young virgins " were sought, she was brought into the presence of King Ahasuerus and was made queen in the place of the exiled queen Vashti.

The accompanying Tosefta ( redacted in the same period ) and Gemara ( in the Jerusalem and Babylonian Talmud redacted c. 400 CE and c. 600 CE respectively ) record additional contextual details such as Vashti having been the daughter of Belshazzar as well as details that accord with Josephus ' such as Esther having been of royal descent.

The Book of Esther begins with a six-month ( 180 day ) drinking feast given by King Ahasuerus, for the army of Persia and Media, for the civil servants and princes in the 127 provinces of his kingdom, at the conclusion of which a seven-day drinking feast for the inhabitants of Shushan ( Susa ), rich and poor, with a separate drinking feast for the women organised by the Queen Vashti in the pavilion of the Royal courtyard.

At this feast Ahasuerus gets thoroughly drunk and, at the prompting of his courtiers, orders his wife Vashti to display her beauty before the nobles and people wearing her royal crown.

He then orders all young women to be presented to him, so he can choose a new queen to replace Vashti.

They include a scene of King Ahasuerus rejecting Vashti in favor of Esther, the brothers selling Joseph into slavery in Egypt, and Moses raising up the nehushtan ( bronze serpent ) in the wilderness.

According to this narrative, he and six other officials suggested that Queen Vashti parade before the king and his ministers in the crown jewels.

He persuades a reluctant Vashti to endure the journey ( and the resultant unwelcome personal interaction ) to his cell.

Vashti, however, dismisses her son's concerns as dangerous madness and returns to her part of the world.

As time passes, and Vashti continues the routine of her daily life, there are two important developments.
