L'auteur est décédé le 15 novembre 1991 avant d'avoir sa thèse de doctorat. Mais elle a laissé suffisamment de matériaux écrits et de références bibliographiques pour que l'on puisse la mener à soutenance. Ceci a été fait par son frère. Docteur en médecine qui avait l'habitude de collaborer avec elle comme conseiller scientifique. La thèse commence avec le serment d'Hippocrate considéré comme un reflet de l'idéologie des médecins et chirurgiens de l'époque élisabéthaine. Il est suivi d'une description du corps des chirurgiens et de l'enseignement qu'ils reçoivent du collège royal de chirurgie, avec l'émergence des nouvelles idées. L'œuvre de Paracelse et l'intrusion de l'occultisme rosicrucien dans la médecine sont analysés, leurs influences précisées sur la pratique anglaise et plus spécifiquement sur des médecins comme Thomas Moffret et Robert Fludo, tous ces praticiens occupant une place proéminente. En arrière scène, le rêve d'alchimie et la quête d'immortalité par des moyens "scientifiques" sont développés et analysés comme des procédures préscientifiques qui ont donné naissance à l'éthique et aux sciences médicales modernes. La conclusion insiste sur le particularisme élisabéthain de la renaissance qui inclut une évolution particulière de la société anglaise et un courant d'idées largement répandues venant d’Europe et principalement de Padoue. La bibliographie compte plus de 325 références incluant quatre communications de l'auteur à la société d'études sur la Renaissance sur des sujets aussi variés que : arum potabile, medicina catholica, Francis Anthony, un charlatan William BulleinThe author died november 15th 1991 before she had the time to put an end to her doctoral thesis. But she left enough written material and bibliographical references to allow us to carry it to completion. This has been done by her brother, doctor in medicine who used to work with he as her scientific counselor. This thesis begins with the Hippocratic Oath, which is considered as a reflection of the ideology of Elizabethans physicians and surgeons. It is followed by a description of the surgeon's corpus and the surgeon's tuition by the royal college of surgery. As new ideas emerged Paracelsus’s work and Rosicrucian occultism are both analyzed so far as medicine is concerned and their influence upon English praxis pointed out even more accurately at physicians such as Thomas Moffet and Robert Fludo and a surgeon as john Woodall. All these practitioners playing a prominent part on the medical scene of the Elizabethan era. As a background, the alchemists’ dream and the quest for immortality, through so called "scientific" means are developed and analyzed as pre-scientific procedures which gave birth to our modern medical sciences and ethics. The conclusion emphasizes the specific characters of Elizabethan renaissance, which included a peculiar evolution of the English society and a widespread tend of opinions and ideas coming four Europe and monthly fourn padoue. The bibliography is rich of more than 325 references including four papers that the author gave to the society for the study of renaissance concerning such various subjects as aurum potabile, medicina catholica, Francis Anthony a quach, William Bullein

Les homelies sont trente-trois sermons du type homiletique, publiees en 1547 et 1563 et lues en chaire chaque dimanche par ordre royal. Leur but : etablir fortement la reforme sous la forme de l'anglicanisme, faire cesser l'emprise de rome sur l'angleterre et prevenir les revoltes religieuses. Les ecoliers repetaient ces homelies a leurs maitres, shakespeare, enfant, les a apprises et ses oeuvres en contiennent maints echos. Leurs auteurs principaux sont : cranmer, jewel, latimer, parker, grindal. Ce travail situe les homelies dans leur contexte historique, religieux et dans la tradition homiletique anglaise. Les diverses editions sont etudiees suivies de l'analyse des textes eux-memes : homelies liturgiques, chretiennes, pastorales; les eglises. Puis les homelies sont montrees comme le reflet d'une situation sociale donnee : droit de propriete, de peche, travail, chomage, aumone, rapports avec l'ordre politique, respect de la hierarchie sociale meme de la parure. Enfin les homelies sont vues comme le miroir de la foi anglicane : importance de l'ecriture, la foi salvatrice sans les oeuvres. Les cinq rites sacramentaires et les deux sacrements : bapteme et eucharistie, sont etudies a travers les homelies concernees ainsi que les liens avec le livre de la priere commune. Un releve scripturaire et de breves biographies des auteurs forment la conclusionThe homilies are thirty-three sermons of homiletic type published in 1547 and 1563 to be read from the pulpit every sunday according to royal injunction. Their aim : establish the reformation under its particular type of anglicanism, put an end to roman domination and prevent religious strife. Children were required to repeat the homilies to their teachers; shakespeare learnt them as a child and there are many echoes in his work. Their main authors are : cranmer, latimer, jewel, parker, grindal. This thesis sets the homilies in their historical context and in the english homiletic tradition. The various editions are studied as well as the homilies themselves : liturgical, christian life and pastoral, and also the places of worship. They are then shown as describing a given social situation such as right of ownership, of fishing, idleness, almsdeeds. Then comes a study of the links between the homilies and the social and political order to be respected even in your apparel. Lastly the homelies reflect the anglican faith : knowledge of the bible, salvation through faith only without works. The two sacraments : baptism and eucharist and the five sacramentary rites are studied in the homilies and their link with the book of common prayer stressed. Scriptural references and short biographical notices of the authors end the work

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Historical fiction is a genre in a constant state of flux: since its inception in the nineteenth century, it has been shaped by cultural trends and has persistently responded to the way in which history is popularly conceptualised. As such, historical novels have always revealed as much about the socio-political context of their moment of production as they do about their historical settings. The advent of feminism was among the most significant movements which shaped the evolution of the women’s historical novel in the twentieth century, prompting as it did a radical shift in historiographic methodology. As feminist discourse became embedded in popular culture in the latter decades of the twentieth century, this shift in turn allowed authors of historical fiction the opportunity to reconsider the ways in which women have been traditionally represented in both historical narrative and fiction. The historical novel thus became a site for exploring the female perspective of history, a perspective that had been denied or ignored by more male-centred historical narratives. This dissertation will assess the impact wrought by the popularisation of feminist discourse on the genre of women’s historical fiction during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. An examination of a selection of contemporary women’s novels set during the Tudor era will prove particularly useful in executing this assessment, not least because of the Tudors’ unprecedented popularity as the focus of literature and film in the last decade. More significantly, the women of this period have proven to be ideal subjects for their authors to imaginatively reconstruct in the mould of third wave feminist icons in the twenty-first century. By examining how Tudor women have been represented in the contemporary historical fiction of Jean Plaidy, Philippa Gregory, Mavis Cheek, Suzannah Dunn and Emily Purdy, this dissertation will demonstrate the ways in which popular feminist discourse has impacted on the development of women’s historical fiction in the last century, focusing specifically on texts published within the last decade. Three key aspects of the genre will be assessed in detail in this regard: the author’s self-conscious feminist intervention in the characterisation of her historical heroines; the shift in the narrative perspective adopted and the deployment of postmodern literary devices; and the representation of female sexuality. The evolution of the genre as a whole will also be examined in some detail, and the shifting parameters of modern feminisms will be interrogated in order to fully understand their manifestations in popular culture.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Historiese fiksie is ’n voortdurend veranderende genre: sedert die ontstaan daarvan in die negentiende eeu is dit beïnvloed deur kulturele neigings en het dit aanhoudend bly reageer op die manier waarop die geskiedenis populêr gekonseptualiseer word. As sodanig het historiese romans altyd net soveel oor die sosiopolitieke konteks van hulle produksiemoment as oor hul historiese milieus onthul. Feminisme was een van die betekenisvolste bewegings wat gedurende die twintigste eeu die evolusie van die historiese roman vir vroue sou beïnvloed, en het sodoende aanleiding gegee tot ’n radikale verandering in historiografiese metodologie. Namate feministiese diskoers in die latere dekades van die twintigste eeu deel van die populêre kultuur geword het, het hierdie verandering op sy beurt die skrywers van historiese fiksie die geleentheid gegun om die maniere waarop vroue tradisioneel in sowel historiese narratief as fiksie uitgebeeld is, te heroorweeg. Die historiese roman het dus ’n terrein geword waarop die vroulike perspektief op die geskiedenis verken is, naamlik ’n perspektief wat deur meer manlik-gesentreerde historiese narratiewe ontken of geïgnoreer is. Hierdie verhandeling sal die impak evalueer wat die popularisering van feministiese diskoers op die genre van historiese fiksie vir vroue gemaak het tydens die twintigste en een-en-twintigste eeue. ’n Ondersoek na ’n seleksie van kontemporêre vroueromans wat in die Tudor-tydperk afspeel, is veral nuttig in hierdie verband, onder andere as gevolg van die Tudors se ongekende gewildheid as die fokus van letterkunde en film in die afgelope dekade. Wat meer veelseggend is, is dat dit blyk die vroue van hierdie tydperk was ideale subjekte wat verbeeldingryk deur hulle outeurs gerekonstrueer kon word in die vorm van derdegolf-feministiese ikone in die een-en-twintigste eeu. Deur te ondersoek hoe Tudorvroue uitgebeeld is in die kontemporêre historiese fiksie van Jean Plaidy, Philippa Gregory, Mavis Cheek, Suzannah Dunn en Emily Purdy sal hierdie verhandeling die impak demonstreer wat populêre feministiese diskoers in die afgelope eeu op die ontwikkeling van historiese fiksie vir vroue gemaak het, met die fokus spesifiek op tekste wat in die afgelope dekade gepubliseer is. In hierdie verband sal drie sleutelaspekte van die genre uitvoerig geassesseer word: die skrywer se selfbewuste feministiese ingryping in die karakterisering van haar historiese heldinne; die verskuiwing in die vertellingsperspektief en die ontplooiing van postmoderne letterkundige tegnieke; en die uitbeelding van vroulike seksualiteit. Die evolusie van die genre as geheel word ook beskou, en die veranderende parameters van moderne feminismes word ondervra sodat hul manifestasies in die populêre kultuur ten volle verstaan kan word.

Full textAbstract:
Le but de cette étude sur John Bale (1495-1563) est de rendre compte à la fois de l'importance du rôle de ce réformateur, un des propagandistes les plus marquants de la Réforme anglaise, au sein du mouvement protestataire, et de la spécificité de sa contribution au développement de la littérature anglaise de la période. Bale consacra sa vie à dénoncer les erreurs des catholiques romains dans ses divers ouvrages de polémique religieuse donnant à la Réforme un répertoire d'arguments d'une très grande richesse et le soutien d'une recherche historique que peu d'auteurs à l'époque auraient pu mener à bien. L'originalité de cet auteur prolifique réside principalement dans la diversité des modes de transmission de son message à travers l'adaptation à des fins partisanes des pièces littéraires existantes, sans s'attacher à un genre particulier. S'il utilise ses vastes connaissances bibliques et historiques comme armes dans la polémique autant que pour étayer son argumentation dans la controverse, son prosélytisme le pousse à utiliser un vocabulaire grossier bien qu'adapté au contexte politico-religieux de l'époque, ce qui lui vaut le surnom de Bale "le bilieux". Après avoir mis en relief la façon dont le vécu personnel de Bale et les circonstances extérieures ont pu influer sur sa littérature, la thèse présente une analyse des principes auxquels Bale adhérait et des schémas historiques qu'il avait adoptés mettant l'accent sur le concept de suprématie royale et la tradition apocalyptique. Enfin, une dernière partie se propose d'étudier les différents genres et procédés littéraires -outils de rhétorique, de controverse et de polémique- que Bale sut mettre au service de la Réforme

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse étudie le rôle de la reine Katherine Parr (c. 1512-1548) et de son proche entourage féminin dont l’aristocrate Elizabeth Tyrwhit (c. 1519-1578) dans l’instauration de la Réforme. En effet, la dernière épouse d’Henri VIII, auteur de deux manuels de dévotion et première reine anglaise à voir ses écrits publiés, s’entourait des Protestants de la cour. La situation confessionnelle complexe de la fin du règne d’Henri VIII fut marquée par un retour au catholicisme strict, avec des restrictions concernant les pratiques, notamment la lecture de la Bible. Cependant, un certain nombre de personnalités acquises aux idées de la Réforme parvinrent à rester en place. Alors que les femmes n’avaient qu’un accès très limité à la Bible (The Act for the Advancement of True Religion and for the Abolishment of the contrary de 1543 le leur interdisait, sauf si elles étaient de très haut rang), une jeune femme, Anne Askew (1521-1546), quitta le domicile familial et intégra les réseaux protestants de Londres où elle prêcha ce qui lui valut d’être condamnée pour hérésie. La faction conservatrice, la sachant en contact avec les dames de la cour, la tortura lors de son second interrogatoire dans le but d’obtenir des noms de Protestants mais elle resta silencieuse et fut condamnée à brûler vive en juillet 1546. Le règne d’Édouard VI permit au protestantisme de s’imposer comme religion d’État puis, après l’intermède catholique romain du règne de Marie Ière, Élisabeth Ière rétablit le Protestantisme ce qui permit à Elizabeth Tyrwhit de publier librement son manuel de dévotion en 1574. Ce travail explore les démarches des trois femmes, leurs témoignages de foi et leur influence auprès de leurs contemporains et au-delàThis thesis examines the role of Queen Katherine Parr (c.1512-1548) and her close female entourage, including the aristocrat Elizabeth Tyrwhit (c.1519-1578) in the establishment of the Reformation. Indeed, Parr, Henry VIII’s last wife, author of two manuals of devotion and the first English queen to see her writings published, surrounded herself with the Protestants of the court. The complex confessional situation at the end of Henry VIII's reign was marked by a return to strict Catholicism, with restrictions on practices, including reading of the Bible. However, a certain number of courtiers already won over to the ideas of the Reformation managed to keep their positions at court. While women had very limited access to the Bible (the 1543 Act for the Advancement of True Religion and for the Abolishment of the contrary forbade them access to the Scriptures, unless they were of very high birth), a young woman, Anne Askew (1521-1546), left the family home and integrated the Protestant networks of London where she preached, which caused her to be condemned for heresy. The conservative faction, knowing she was in contact with the ladies of the court, tortured her during her second interrogation in order to obtain the names of Protestants but she remained silent and was condemned to burn alive in July 1546. The reign of Edward VI allowed Protestantism to establish itself as the official religion, and after the Roman Catholic interlude of Mary I, Elizabeth I re-established Protestantism, which enabled Elizabeth Tyrwhit to freely publish her devotional manual in 1574. This work explores the attitudes of the three women through their testimonies of faith and their influence with their contemporaries and beyond

Full textAbstract:
This is an analysis of the music in the television-series The Tudors (2007 – 2010). The opening credits and how death is portrayed musically in the last episode are analyzed. My question is what functions the music has. The method used is Michel Chion’s masking-method. You listen to the music, noise and speech and how diegetic and non-diegetic On/Off-screen sound is used. The opening credits of the first season evokes the spirit of the time of King Henry VIII and shows that the series will address topics like religion, power, money, love and war. The melody, the use of modern drums and classical instruments makes the music capturing. Non-diegetic music and speech dominates the soundtrack during the first season. From the second season and on the speech is excluded. The music is important enough in itself. In the episode about death diegetic noise and speech are more important. The non-diegetic music gives feelings of nostalgia, anger and regrets over mistakes in the past. The music evokes a sad feeling because of its slow and somber tempo. I conclude that the functions of the music are to evoke and strengthen feelings of the spectator.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude est centrée sur la renaissance finissante et le début de l'ère baroque. A cette période, la personne du monarque doit être considérée comme réelle et fictive : clé de voute de l'ordre politique et religieux, le prince est tout autant le point focal de l'imaginaire de la communauté. Nous étudions la manière dont le prince est représenté et se représente en Angleterre ; comment son autorité se construit ou bien s'évanouit au gré de l'interprétation qui est indissociable de l'acte de représenter. Problème de l'autorité, problème de la représentation, problème de l'interprétation sont les trois pôles constitutifs de notre réseau thématique. Parce que l’Angleterre participe de plein gré aux grands courants intellectuels venus du continent - humanisme et reforme- nous rendons compte de l'imagerie autour du prince en France à la même époque. Dans une première partie, nous dessinons les traits dominants de l'imagerie royale héritée de l'antiquité, notamment de Platon, Aristote et Cicéron, ainsi que la manière dont cette imagerie est retravaillée par le premier XVIe siècle, chez Tyndale et Ponet, entre autres. Dans notre deuxième partie, nous étudions, dans son contexte historique, la construction imaginaire d'Élisabeth Ière et Jacques Ier Stuart, mais aussi, propose comme éclairage extérieur, celle d'Henri III et d'Henri IV. L'on conclut que la période de la guerre civile et de la Commonwealth marque la fin d'une épistémè, en ce sens que la monarchie ne va jamais récupérer son ascendant magique sur l'imaginaire collectif, et qu'elle va désormais avoir à partager sa tutelle souveraine sur la loi rationnelle et juste avec les textes juridiques et les juristes qui en sont les interprètes. A travers la figure du prince, nous avons voulu démêler les rapports obscurs et complexes entre littérature et histoire : dialectique dont le monarque est simultanément objet et agent. Il s'agit d'une étude sur le texte, le contexte et l'intertexte, autour de la figure royaleThis study focusses on the end of the renaissance and the beginning of the baroque period. At this time, the monarch can be seen as both real and fictional. Cornerstone of the political and religious order, he is equally the point on which the collective imaginary converges. We study the ways in which the prince is represented; how his authority is constructed or deconstructed by the process of interpretation. The triangular problem of authority, representation and interpretation constitutes the backbone of our study. Since England fully participates in the major intellectual movements originating on the continent - humanism and reformation - we give an account of royal imagery in France during the period. In the first section, we sketch the main features of the royal image inherited from the classical period, as well as the way in which it is reshaped in the early 16th century, in the writings of such as Tyndale and Ponet. In the second section we study, against their historical background, the imaginary representations of Elizabeth I and James I, but equally, for the alternative perspective they afford, those of Henri III and Henri IV. We conclude that the civil war and commonwealth period marks the end of an episteme, inasmuch as the monarchy will never again recover its magical prestige in the collective imaginary, and that henceforth it is obliged to cede its monopoly as source of rational justice to the corpus of legal texts and those who interpret them. We have attempted to clarify the obscure and complex interplay between literature and history, a dialectic in which the monarch is both agent and object. What is proposed is a study on the text, the intertext and the context centered on the prince

Lorsque Henry VII monte sur le trône en 1485, il est loin d'être le successeur légitime. Bien qu'avoir gagné la bataille de Bosworth lui permette d'accroître celle-ci, ce n'est que sous ses descendants qu'elle sera totalement acquise. Les prérogatives royales, particulièrement les proclamations royales et le pardon, sont l'une des méthodes utilisées par cette dynastie pour asseoir leur pouvoir. Même si leur légitimité est de moins en moins en doute, ils doivent faire face à des révoltes pour différentes raisons, principalement politiques et religieuses. Les Tudors n'ont pas tous réagi de la même manière à cette contestation de leur autorité. Alors qu'Henry VII pardonne tous les Northern rebels lors de son ascension, Elizabeth procède à une forte répression lors de la rébellion des comtes. Le contexte joue en partie sur les décisions de répression, mais l'opinion publique y est également pour quelque chose. Bien que les proclamations royales aient été utilisées pour gouverner, l'utilisation du pardon et du châtiment dans celles-ci a certes été utile pour la construction de la légitimité, mais elle n'est pas seule à avoir servie [i.e. servi] le dessein des Tudors.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to add to the growing body of knowledge about the effects of local and national events on the survival and fortunes of individual families and to explore the contribution of these families to the political scene. The dates, circa 1460 to 1560, were chosen partly because this was a.period of change and partly because it is a relatively neglected period; bridging as it does the Medieval and Early Modern divide. The first part explores the financial and political fortunes of ten families. All of them came to be residents of Northamptonshire during this period but this is not a closed county study, a consideration of their activities on a broader front is crucial to the arguments presented. Similarly they were all members of either the upper gentry or lower nobility, but this is not a study of one class or the other. Movement up and down the social scale is an important feature under consideration. The second part of the thesis uses the family evidence to explore behaviour patterns and relationships and attempts to draw conclusions on routes to success and the impact of outside factors. The multi-faceted approach adopted by most of the families makes these questions very complex. Law and sheep farming emerge as very significant features overall, but political allegiance is a more elusive issue. An examination of power structures reveals the extent to which the Crown was willing to overlook past behaviour if a family retained the confidence of its peers. The final question concerns the operation of these families as part of a broader 'county community'. The conclusion must be that while they did form local networks, these were not necessarily confined by county boundaries.

L'évolution du théâtre en Angleterre au XVIème siècle est étroitement liée à l'évolution sociale, politique et religieuse. Le théâtre évolue à partir de formes et de structures bien définies. Sous l'influence du théâtre classique, des farces françaises et des comédies italiennes, il intègre de nouveaux éléments, mais garde les composantes essentielles de sa propre tradition, les adaptant aux conditions et modes de représentation nouveaux que rencontrent les troupes de professionnels adultes et les troupes d'enfants. L’utilisation du langage vernaculaire et la présence constante de la musique dans des fonctions bien définies sont des aspects permanents de ce théâtre. A travers des schémas et des conventions établis, l'élément musical est étroitement lié à la structure et aux thèmes des pièces. Il est analysé dans son contexte, à travers le répertoire des troupes d'acteurs adultes et celui des troupes d'enfants. La notion de détournement de l'harmonie céleste par les vices des pièces morales constitue un élément fondamental dans l'utilisation et la fonction de la musique, et en particulier de certaines formes de chansons que l'on retrouve souvent associées à des personnages : serviteurs, pages, personnages de basse condition sociale, dans les comédies de cour pré-shakespeariennesThe evolution of drama in England in the 16th century is linked to the social, political and religious evolution. Drama evolves from well-established forms and structures. Under the influence of classical drama, the French farce and Italian comedy, it integrates new elements, but also retains the essential components of its own native traditions, adapting them to the new modes and conditions of performance met by the adult professional actors and the children's troupes. The use of the vernacular and the constant presence of music with well-defined functions are permanent aspects of this drama. Through established patterns and conventions, the musical element is closely linked to the structure and themes of the plays. It is analyzed here in its context throughout the repertoire of adult and children's troupes. The concept of a distortion and misappropriation of celestial harmony by the vices of the moral plays constitutes a basic element in the use and function of music, and in particular some forms of songs often associated with servants, pages, and in general low characters in pre-shakespearean court comedies

La légende arthurienne, loin d'être seulement imaginaire et féerique, est aussi un mythe pseudo-historique politisé. Des sources diverses nous ont dévoilé la face cachée de l'arthurianisme et nous ont expliqué comment la légende s'est développée par et pour le monde politique médiéval, puis renaissant. Si l'Angleterre fut la grande bénéficiaire de la légende arthurienne, toute l'Europe sut laisser le mythe embellir son histoire ou défendre une cause. L'arthurianisme débute avec la prophétie de Merlin, présente dans tous les grands conflits politico religieux européens. Les oracles merliniens ouvrent la voie de la connaissance de l'issue d'une guerre, de la chute d'un roi, mais aussi de la venue de l'Antéchrist et du Dernier Roi du monde. . .

This study aims to analyze the application of twentieth century sociologist George Mead's role theory to Henry VIII and Mary I, of Britain's Tudor Dynasty, regarding their treatment of their families during the early to mid-sixteenth century. Contemporary role theory can offer a useful lens to study sixteenth century royal family functionality through an analysis of Henry VIII and Mary I's lives as monarchs of England. Role theory can illuminate the role conflict that led to a separation between Henry and Mary as people and as sovereigns. Their roles, derived from traditional authority, set them apart as people and led them to behave in a way that would not have been true to their characters if they were not monarchs. The roles will therefore be given particular attention pertaining to family issues within a sixteenth century social, religious and political context. The findings of this study include an explanation of conflict with identity as well as a conflict with roles using transformation as the catalyst in the case of both of these monarchs. This study includes a qualitative content analysis, while also employing methods from the humanities to create a unique blend of methodology from both the social sciences and the field of history. This blend of methodology aids in creating a model to ensure further understanding of conflict analysis from a historical perspective.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between the commemorative strategies of English noblemen in the period 1485-1572 and their identity both as individuals and as a social group. In particular, it will look at the Howard dukes of Norfolk in the context of their peers. The five chapters each address a different aspect of noble identity. The first two chapters deal with the importance of kinship and of status. The importance of kinship is evident across commemorative strategies from burial locations to the heraldry displayed at funerals to the references to ancestry in elegies. Having achieved a particular status, noblemen were defensive of their rank and the dues accorded to it. Funerals were designed to reflect social status and the choice of burial location could also indicate a concern with status. However, there was not always a correlation between the scale of commemoration and status. The third chapter examines the role that service to the Crown played in noble identity. Late medieval ideals of military service and a chivalric culture survived well in to the sixteenth century and traditional commemorative forms remained popular, even amongst noblemen newly ennobled from the ranks of the Tudor administration. Chapter four addresses the importance of local power to the nobility of the period. Burial and commemoration acted as a visible reminder of the social order and were of benefit in maintaining local stability. Noblemen could also use their death as a means of demonstrating good lordship through charity and hospitality. The final chapter examines the importance of religion to a nobleman's identity during a century of turbulent religious change. Studying commemorative strategies allows us to trace noble responses to religious change, the constraints on their public show of belief, and the ways in which they could express individuality.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, the dissolution of the monasteries is treated as an event in the history of patronage relationships between the English crown and local patronage groups. In a comparative approach, the regions of East Anglia and Yorkshire are examined in search of patronage-related differences that help to explain the contrasts in regional political responses to the dissolutions.The first section deals with aspects of patronage in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, exploring through test cases the normal patterns of patronage on monastic estates and the estates of lay landlords and the Crown. Normal durations in tenure, remuneration and networking patterns are explored, in order to show what expectations monastic servants would have held as to the effects of the dissolutions on the duration and value of their positions as well as the creative or destructive impact of the dissolutions on patronage networking.
The second section then analyzes patronage on the monastic estate under the management of the Court of Augmentations, following through in case studies the patronage impact of the sale of major blocks of monastic property to lay landlords in either region. The study finds that the northern region underwent more severe patronage dislocation than was the case in East Anglia, partly on account of long-term structural conditions and partly because of the differences in the more immediate political relations between the crown and elites in either region.

Full textAbstract:
The present work argues for the invaluable contribution of boy actors to the evolution of Tudor drama. Since most young scholars later went up to university or the'Inns of Court, I have also considered the course of drama in those institutions. This drama in education was given its prime impetus by visiting professional troupes, whose itineraries included schools, universities and the Inns. The education in drama they set before their audiences helped shape the schools drama, which was able to develop and expand in a way denied the professionals by the consequences of the Reformation. Not till Leicester's men established themselves at the Theater were the professionals enabled once again to strive towards their eventual pre-eminence. The argument in those'sections dealing with the colleges of Winchester, Eton and Westminster is supported by original archival material hitherto unavailable in print. The Introduction states the situation at the moment of the foundation of the Theater and of the first Blackfriars. That significant moment marked the beginnings of the decline in the fortunes of the forces of drama in education. The prehistory is rooted in the broad educational changes of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries (Chapter I) and in the seminal effect upon the drama of the sermons of the mendicant preachers of the later Middle Ages (Chapter I). These twin influences forged the drama of pre-Reformation England, defined the roles of professionals and boys alike (Chapter II).

Nelson, Katie M. "Thomas Whythorne and Tudor musicians." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2010. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/36853/.
Full textAbstract:
The autobiography of Tudor musician Thomas Whythorne (1528-1596) is rich with self-exploration, social commentary and intimate storytelling. His story begins at childhood, then progresses chronologically as he gains an education, becomes a music master, and rubs shoulders with some of the most prominent people in England. This rich historical source has been strangely neglected, particularly by social historians, since its discovery in 1955. No one in any discipline has so far attempted an overall assessment of Whythorne the man, his work, and his significance. This is my aim. Working outwards from a close examination of his unique manuscript (Bodleian MS. Misc.c.330), this study hopes to shed new light on the music profession in early modern England. Whythorne adds considerable clarity of focus to the professionalization of music in the sixteenth century, as seen through the eyes of one of its advocates. Chapter 1 reviews Whythorne’s own life story and compares it with available external evidence. Chapter 2 proceeds to mine the manuscript itself for further evidence of Whythorne’s motives and methodology, offering a number of new hypotheses regarding the dating, content, and structure of the manuscript. Chapters 3 and 4 explore the nature of the Tudor musical profession, proposing and exploring a ‘spherical’ model of the music profession (in place of a hierarchical model). These chapters examine the various ‘spheres’ or types of musicians in turn, comparing Whythorne’s descriptions to external evidence. Chapter 5 then examines private music tutors in greater depth, as this group have previously remained very shadowy figures. Finally, Chapter 6 examines the world of early music printing in England, and Whythorne’s pioneering place in it. It also explores the nature and function of his self-fashioning, arguing that Whythorne constructed an identity well outside the realm of the generic. By viewing early modern society through Whythorne’s lens and comparing it to contemporary sources, we can shed new light on early modern musicians in England, and on the society in which they lived.

Singh, Amritesh. "Tudor women writers fashioning masculinity." Thesis, University of York, 2011. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1522/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to the growing interest in early modern masculinity and its literary representations by introducing texts by women writers into dialogue with their male-authored counterparts. It argues for a more nuanced approach that recognises that the concepts of masculinity and femininity can only be fully understood when studied in relation with each other. The first chapter explores how, notwithstanding the wisdom of conduct books and marriage guides, the demands of the state may not always be commensurate with those of the domestic realm and shows that this conflict necessitates a rethinking of existing definitions of masculinity by focusing on selected writings of the Tudor sisters Mary and Elizabeth and Jane Fitzalan’s *Tragedie of Iphigeneia*. The second chapter identifies how Elizabeth’s unique discursive strategies were designed to elicit support from her male subjects and subdue the belligerence that simmered under polemic like John Stubbs’ *Gaping Gulf*. In her letters to Anjou, the chapter examines how Elizabeth manoeuvred around her position as a beloved and as a monarch to fashion a husband who would not only be sympathetic but also subordinate to her political authority. This chapter also shows how the fabulous world of John Lyly’s *Galatea* consummates the Queen’s desire for the ideal male subject. The final chapter investigates the construction of martial manhood. It juxtaposes Mary Sidney’s *The Tragedy of Antonie* with William Shakespeare’s *Antony and Cleopatra* to determine how the figure of Cleopatra, common to both plays, challenges and revises the martial code of masculinity as embodied by Antony. By examining the authorial position appropriated by Cleopatra in the plays and its impact on the narrative, this chapter also extends this thesis’ interest in the extent to which female characters within texts compete for diegetic control with male protagonists.

Baker, Anastasia Christine. "Anna of Denmark: Expressions of Autonomy and Agency as a Royal Wife and Mother." PDXScholar, 2012. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/713.
Full textAbstract:
Anna of Denmark (12 December 1574 - 2 March 1619), the wife of King James VI/I of Scotland, England, and Ireland, was an intelligent and interesting woman who has, up until recently, been largely ignored by history. It has only been within the past two decades that any in-depth analysis of Anna has been done, and most of that analysis has focused on Anna's work with the Stuart court masque. The intent of this thesis has been to expand upon current scholarship regarding Anna, as well as to synthesize the various facets of Anna's life in order to put together a more comprehensive understanding of who Anna was and the various ways in which she expressed personal agency and autonomy as a queen consort as opposed to a queen regnant, and how she used the roles of royal wife and mother to further her own goals and interests. The work is divided into an introduction, three chapters, and a conclusion. The introduction offers a brief analysis of the primary and secondary sources, and details how these sources were used within the broader scope of the paper. This introductory section also examines Anna's early life in Denmark, her wedding, and her initial journey to Scotland. The second chapter focuses on Anna's relationships with her husband and children, and particularly how Anna established a niche for herself within first the Scottish, and later the English courts. By studying these relationships it is possible to study the ways in which Anna, as a queen consort, was able to create a court presence for herself. Chapter three analyzes Anna's relationships with other courtiers and, more specifically, what these relationships tell modern scholars about how Anna was able to exercise political influence and power both directly and indirectly. Anna's interactions with her courtiers illustrate how well she understood not only human nature, but the nature of court culture and politics. The fourth chapter presents an in-depth study of Anna's masquing career, and looks at how Anna used the court masque to not only establish a female presence on the stage, but also to fashion a public image for herself. Anna used the Stuart court masque in a way that no one had previously: she used it to express her social and political opinions, and through the court masque Anna was able to portray both who she was and how she wanted to be perceived. The final chapter covers Anna's final days and her lasting impact on English history. Anna of Denmark deserves to be brought out of the shadows of history, and this thesis has attempted to do just that. She was a bright, engaging young woman who, unfortunately, has largely been overshadowed by her husband and children. By studying Anna's various roles as wife, mother, friend, benefactor, and patron, it has been possible to bring forth a much more complete understanding of who this queen consort was and why she is important to a broader understanding of early modern English history.

Full textAbstract:
In the sixteenth century, Martin Luther s Protestant Reformation generated multiple reform movements and political transformations in Europe. Within this general period of reform, political and cultural changes from the Tudor era (1485-1603) created a separate English Reformation. The English Reformation evolved from the different agendas of the early Tudor monarchs and occurred in two distinct waves: an initial, more moderate Henrician Reformation and a later, more complete Edwardian Reformation. Henry VIII and Edward VI s attempts to redefine monarchy through a new State and Church identity drove English church reform during this period, giving these religious shifts distinct political roots. Cultural artifacts were prominent indicators of these differing political goals, and Henry VIII and Edward VI adjusted and removed images and texts according to their propaganda methods. These royal manipulations of culture are well-documented, but historians have overlooked important components in the communication process. Lay responses to imagery changes ranging from compliance to rebellion demonstrate the complex relationship of images, monarchy, and reform. Examining images function as propaganda with questions of intent, reception, and comprehension in royal communication is imperative for assessing the impact of royal messages on Tudor culture. Analyzing Tudor art as a form of political communication that disseminated idealized political representation reveals a strong visual discourse between the King and the English people. Images held key powers within royal discourse to create and disseminate propaganda of a kingship.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
Elizabeth Tudor succeeded to England's throne during a time when misogynist societal ideology questioned the authority of a female monarch. Religious opposition to a woman ruler was based on biblical precedent, which reflected the general attitude that women were inferior to men. Elizabeth's dilemma was reconciling her femininity with her sovereignty, most notably concerning her justification for power, the issue of marriage and succession, and the conflict over the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. The speeches Elizabeth presented to Parliament illuminate her successful solidification of her authority from a feminine gendered position. She established and reinforced her status through figurative language that presented her femininity as favorable to ruling England, ultimately transcending her womanhood to become an incarnation of the state. Elizabeth's speeches reflect her brilliance at fashioning herself through divine and reciprocal imagery, which subsequently redefined English society, elevating her to the head of a male-dominated hierarchy. By establishing her position as second to God, Elizabeth relegated all men to a status beneath hers. Elizabeth's solution to the perceived liability of her gender was to recreate herself through divine imagery that appropriated God's authority as her own. She reinforced her power through a reciprocal relationship with Parliament, evoking the imagery of motherhood to redefine the monarchy as an exchange rather than an absolute rule.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation studies the representation of calendars and the idea of custom in Tudor English literature. Social historians have demonstrated that the early modern English calendar was anything but stable, and that the nature of days and their observances was often hotly disputed. This is a study of how authors of literature reflected and produced calendar consciousness in the face of changing systems of time reckoning. I focus upon texts which explore alternative models of social time: Thomas More's Utopia, Edmund Spenser's Shepheardes Calender and Faerie Queene, William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and a cluster of texts published in 1603. These works share the recognition that calendars are at least as much the product of custom as they are of nature, and are therefore potentially open to social adaptation and political appropriation. The idea of custom as "second nature" is both an object of study in the dissertation and provides its general methodology and theoretical orientation. In early modern usage, "custom" could refer to much of what we might call both "ideology" and "culture." In its most general sense, however, custom simply referred to individual habit and social praxis, and was one means by which particular activities could be politically legitimated. My goal is to demonstrate what many early modern authors recognized: that a calendar is both a product of custom and a framework within which social behaviour is produced. When confronted with other systems of temporal organization, authors were encouraged to reflect upon their own, and to consider the possibilities in alternative social orders.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the means by which items of Italian material culture came into the possession of the Tudor monarchs. The different modes of acquisition provide the structure for an investigation into Anglo-Italian relations during the sixteenth century. Although the items that came to England took many forms a synthesising approach is made possible by the fact that the 'biographies' of the objects which have been selected all share a common element - they reached England and were owned by the Tudor monarchs as a result of direct contact with Italian individuals. As a result, disparate items such as glass, armour, books, textiles and horses can be discussed as part of a broader whole in which elements of one culture travelled to another. This is not a discussion of the developing dominance of Italian culture over Western Europe during the sixteenth century, for, although the adjective 'Italian' carried clear connotations in late sixteenth-century England it appears to have been rarely used in relation to material culture. Instead it is a study of the appreciation of technical skill and the attempts that were made to appropriate it, which in turn provides a point of access to the life histories of the Italians who came to England in the sixteenth century and the way in which their interaction with the highest levels of the court played a role in shaping the idea of Italy and the Italian in England.

Full textAbstract:
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 had a significant influence on the development of the genre. The earliest evidence for portrait sets in aristocratic collections is examined and specific examples of early known sets are discussed. The second and third chapters look at the intellectual context in which the fashion for portrait sets emerged. It is suggested that humanist ideas about the display of portraiture and related artistic trends on the continent contributed to the emerging demand for this type of painting in England. It is argued that the widespread interest in history, genealogy and antiquarianism at this time led to a demand for images of historical figures. In addition, it is suggested that portrait sets were often used to communicate messages of legitimacy and authority by implying that a family or institution had an illustrious and lengthy lineage. The final two chapters discuss known portrait sets in detail and include case studies of specific sets. The fourth chapter focuses on sets of English kings and queens and the fifth chapter on sets of illustrious figures drawn from various categories of famous men and women. The latter includes case studies of a set formerly at Weston, Warwickshire and a set at Knole, Kent.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this dissertation is the county of Cheshire during the momentous religious changes of the sixteenth century. It aims to show that it is unrealistic to expect a monolithic reaction to such change: as in any county a combination of factors came together resulting in a variety of responses. It also seeks to discredit a number of myths which continue to proliferate about local people and events of this time. The prominence given by both contemporaries and subsequent scholars to Catholic survivalism in the neighbouring county of Lancashire has tended to overshadow the position in Cheshire; indeed some studies have conflated the two. A central aim of this dissertation has been to demonstrate that the two counties responded differently, and to seek to explain why this might have been. A chronological approach has been adopted because it was felt that this would afford a cohesive structure. Within each time period certain continuities and recurring themes will become apparent, however. This is, in part, a function of the sources used, since many of these records derive from institutions or practices which continued fundamentally unaffected throughout the period. This was markedly also a time of radical change, and the abolition of some existing institutions and the introduction of new procedures produced new types of records which demonstrate the local impact of some of those changes. The focus of much Reformation scholarship has now moved away from regional studies towards a more thematic approach, representing one strand of post revisionism. One outcome of the local study in this dissertation has been to demonstrate how new regional studies can contribute to a variety of debates by offering fresh insights and conclusions from a re-consideration of familiar evidence and an examination of evidence which may not be widely known.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses a significant, though largely unexplored, part of the Marian Counter-Reformation. Queen Mary and her ministers expected the University of Oxford's contribution to the success of their plans for the English Church to be decisive. From her letter to the University in August 1553, only weeks after her accession, in which she announced her intention of laying the foundations of her ecclesiastical policy in Oxford, the academy underwent a transformation. After decades of trauma which had left the University poor, empty and (literally, in some parts) crumbling, Mary's reign gave the University a purpose, something which had been difficult to discern since the Dissolution of the Monasteries had deprived it of a large proportion of its students and lecturers. Mary and, after November 1554, Reginald Cardinal Pole undertook an extensive programme designed to reform and restore the University, a programme which was willingly and tirelessly taken up by those sympathetic to it in the University. This had its theological, ecclesiastical, liturgical and architectural elements, each of which will be considered in this thesis. Its central claim is not just that the existing picture of Mary Tudor's Church is incomplete without the inclusion within it of the restoration of Catholicism in Oxford, but that it is in Oxford, and perhaps only there, that all the different elements of her religious policy can be seen for what they are: a consistent whole, conceived and executed with one purpose: the reintegration of the English Church into the universal Catholic body.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with a sub-department within the early-Tudor royal household, a group of clerics and layclerks collectively known as the Chapel Royal. It fills a major lacuna in the recent historiography of the Tudor domus which, while drawing attention to the central importance of the establishment in the political and administrative life of the nation, has largely disregarded the members of its chapel. This study shows that far from being a marginal institution, the chapel played a prominent role in early-Tudor representations of kingship and in the cultural life of the court and nation at large, and its senior officers were active participants in national government, politics and diplomacy. Beginning with a description of the royal household and a survey of the documentary sources used to reconstruct the operations of the chapel, it proceeds with an analysis of the chapel's membership and institutional structure. The important role of the chapel in the ceremonial, religious and cultural life of the court is then described. This is followed by a chapter on the household of the Lady Margaret Beaufort, matriarch of the Tudor dynasty, who, owing to the ceremonial needs arising from her wealth, political prominence and constitutional position, maintained an independent chapel of 'royal' dimensions and musical standard.A fresh interpretation of the chapel's constitutional development, based on new evidence concerning the interdependence of its ceremonial role and the royal itinerary is presented in the final chapters. The chapel's main centres of activity at Westminster and Greenwich are identified, and the private and professional activities of its members, particularly its musicians, within these societies are explored in detail. Biographical data discovered using this new historiographical framework reveals a hitherto unsuspected degree of assimilation of its personnel to the religious, economic and cultural life of these surrounding communities.
