Abstract:

This main aim of this thesis is to conclusively demonstrate that John Spottiswoode was one of the most important churchman in early modern Scotland. He was, it will be shown, the most authoritative and impressive of Scotland's post-Refonriation bishops. Spottiswoode was the principal ecclesiastic in James VI's reconstruction of an episcopal church in Scotland after 1603 when he was appointed Archbisiop of Glasgow. This was followed by his prestigious translation to the metropolitan see of St Andrews in 1615 from where he presided over those controversial liturgical reforms of the succeeding ye

Abstract:

This thesis examines the taste for sets of easel portraits in England during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James VI and I. Looking primarily at sets of historical figures, particularly English kings and queens, the thesis aims to assess the extent of the fashion and identify the audience for such sets. The material qualities of the paintings are discussed and the methods of production, as well as the function and meaning of specific sets. The first chapter examines the evidence for the earliest portrait sets of this type in England and suggests that innovations in art and architecture at Court

Abstract:

This thesis explores the presentation of older women on stage from 1558-1625, establishing that the character is predominantly pictured within the domestic sphere, as wife, mother, stepmother or widow. Specific dramatic stereotypes for these roles are identified, and compared and contrasted with historical material relating to older women. The few plays in which these stereotypes are subverted are fully examined. Stage nurse and bawd characters are also older women and this study reveals them to be imaged exclusively as matching stereotypes. Only four plays, Peele’s The Old Wives Tale, Fletche

Rutherford, Sarah C. "Black farce in Jacobean and 1960s theatre." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1999. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/22613.

Abstract:

This thesis examines black farce as a genre of simultaneous and equally (though precariously) balanced farce and horror, characterised by excess, physicality, taboo-breaking, ambivalence and disharmony. Black farce provokes an uncertain audience response, in which a combined sense of shock and laughter leads to feelings of discomfort and disorientation. Building upon this definition of the genre, I argue that the reason for its appearance in the Renaissance and its re-emergence in the 1960s lies in a paradoxical sense of exhilaration and horror felt by playwrights in response to bewilderingly

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with a study of a particular genre, Jacobean city comedy, in relation to its socio-economic and religious context. It aims to show that the structural forms of city comedy share similarities with structures in Jacobean social consciousness. By arguing that the plays are productions of a material age this study suggests that these structures are manifestations of ideological changes brought about by two related systems of thought: capitalism and Protestantism.

Aristocratic women were integral to Jacobean court life and actively involved in royal service, in the ceremonial of court and state, in the pursuit of financial benefit, in marriage strategies and court family networks, and in court, foreign and religious politics and patronage.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates witchcraft during the reign of King James VI and I when belief in witchcraft was widespread in Scotland and England, and there was a growing tendency for dramatists to use witchcraft materials in their plays. The writings of Reginald Scot and King James I, alongside modern scholarly work by Keith Thomas, Allen Macfarlane, Diane Purkiss and others, will be considered to analyse beliefs about supernatural power and, in particular, witchcraft and witches’ activities. This study is principally concerned with the staging of drama at the Blackfriars theatre, especially from

This thesis investigates the theory and practice of episcopal government in the English Church between 1603 and 1625. The source material consists of the records of seventeen diocesan archives in the province of Canterbury, in conjunction with primary printed and manuscript sources, such as sermons, theological treatises and polemics, and, where appropriate, the records of central ecclesiastical and secular government. It is proposed that the dominant image and practice was of the bishop as preaching pastor. The exemplar of the Apostolic bishop, which was set out in Pauline writings, could not

Abstract:

Whereas scholarly malcontents and naifs in late Renaissance drama represent the actual notion of university graduates during the time period, scholarly tricksters have an obscure social origin. Moreover, their lack of motive in participating in the plays' events, their ambivalent value structures, and their conflicting dramatic roles as tricksters, reformers, justices, and heroes pose a serious diffculty to literary critics who attempt to define them. By examining the Western dramatic tradition, this study first proposes that the scholarly tricksters have their origins in both the Vice in earl

Abstract:

The last years of Jacobean rule coincided with the appearance of a number of Scottish soldiers at the three major Habsburg centres of power: Madrid, Brussels and the Imperial court (the last of which was still peripatetic but increasingly centred in Vienna). Recognising the geographical complexity involved in studying such individuals, the thesis seeks to contribute to the debates of historians of early modern Europe with respect to three issues: the problem of 'multiple kingdoms', the existence or otherwise of a seventeenth century 'general crisis', and the nature of political patronage at th

Abstract:

This thesis explores the state apartment in the Jacobean country house – its status, function, use, planning, decoration and furnishing. It does so against various different backgrounds. Firstly, that of the royal progress, during which Tudor and early Stuart monarchs – in particular, James I – would visit private residences around the country. The nature of such visits are explored, using a large amount of primary evidence and drawing upon a full itinerary of James I's reign, compiled for the first time as part of this thesis.

Abstract:

I shall argue that rape, sexual threat and sexual violence in the early Jacobean drama fascinate the playwrights not only because they are the psychologically and socially interesting phenomena which break boundaries such as those between male and female, life and death, rape and marriage, the private and the public, but because the dynamic of sexual violence and its repetitive enaction on stage provide a complex analogy to theatrical performance and language, together with response in a culture that tends to conceive of theatrical experience in erotic terms, and of certain sexual impulses as

This thesis is about reading. Working on the understanding that all texts read other texts, it aims to uncover something of how English poets from 1590-1650 read the Song of Songs, by analyzing when and how they use it in their poetry. By looking at poetic readings, rather than theological ones, it also explores the connections and distinctions between reading literature and reading Scripture. As both Scripture and lyric love poetry, the Song of Songs has participated in theological and literary discourse over a long period.

Abstract:

This thesis examines representations of lawyers and law in examples of Jacobean city comedy, taking into account certain contemporary developments in the legal profession and the law in England. The period covered is 1598-1616. The thesis questions the conventional interpretation of city comedy as hostile to the legal profession. It suggests the topic is more complex than has been assumed, arguing that city comedy makes direct and indirect positive representation of Inns of Court lawyers, who are to be distinguished from attorneys (newly segregated in the Inns of Chancery), amateur quasi-lawye

The Great European Witch Hunt swept across Europe from the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries, but the nature of these witch hunts differed from country to country. These differences can be attributed to the fulfillment, or lack thereof, of the preconditions to the Great European Witch Hunt: the adoption of the inquisitorial judicial procedure, the use of torture, the movement of witchcraft trials to secular and local courts, a belief in maleficium facilitated by a pact with Satan, a belief that witches met in large groups to perform anti-human rituals at the sabbat and the belief in the

In a scheme of thought characterized by the use of antithesis and analogy, the opposition of gender proves to be one of the most richly extensible.

In these comedies, references breaking the illusion of all-male cast conventions highlight the liminal features of theatrical travesty and of the theatrical "as-if" dimension.
