    The Cultural and Ideological Significance of Representations of Boudica During the Reigns of Elizabeth I and James I

    EXETER UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITÉ D’ORLÉANS The Cultural and Ideological Significance Of Representations of Boudica During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Submitted by Samantha FRENEE-HUTCHINS to the universities of Exeter and Orléans as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, June 2009. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ..................................... (signature) 2 Abstract in English: This study follows the trail of Boudica from her rediscovery in Classical texts by the humanist scholars of the fifteenth century to her didactic and nationalist representations by Italian, English, Welsh and Scottish historians such as Polydore Virgil, Hector Boece, Humphrey Llwyd, Raphael Holinshed, John Stow, William Camden, John Speed and Edmund Bolton. In the literary domain her story was appropriated under Elizabeth I and James I by poets and playwrights who included James Aske, Edmund Spenser, Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare, A. Gent and John Fletcher. As a political, religious and military figure in the middle of the first century AD this Celtic and regional queen of Norfolk is placed at the beginning of British history. In a gesture of revenge and despair she had united a great number of British tribes and opposed the Roman Empire in a tragic effort to obtain liberty for her family and her people.

  • Graves of Artists and Architects Buried There

    Graves of Artists and Architects Buried There

    Graves of architects and artists in the Chiswick Churchyard and Old Burial Ground A noteworthy feature of the burial ground associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick, is the remarkable number of graves of artists and architects buried there. This article records the graves of an important eighteenth-century architect and garden designer, a respected bricklayer and site manager, two well-regarded Victorian sculptors, and no fewer than six painters and printmakers. In comparison, I know of only one literary figure who was buried there: the maverick Italian poet and patriot, Ugo Foscolo (1778–1827). But perhaps he does not count, since his bones were exhumed in 1871 and returned to Italy for re-burial in Sta Croce, Florence. The churchyard harbours the tomb of only one theatrical figure, Charles Holland (1733–1769), but – as far as I am aware – of not one single composer. Two possible reasons for this bias in favour of the visual arts may be connected with two leading figures in the British eighteenth-century art world who were associated with St Nicholas, Chiswick. Lord Burlington (1694–1753) and William Hogarth (1697–1764) were close contemporaries, although they seldom if ever saw eye to eye. Lord Burlington was the architect of his ground- breaking Chiswick Villa, and he was also a celebrated aesthete and connoisseur. During highly profitable visits to Italy in the second decade, he amassed an important collection of Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Chiswick Villa was designed in part specifically to display this collection, which enhanced Burlington’s status in the British art scene. His semi-permanent residence at Chiswick in the last 20 or so years of his life, and the inheritance of his estate by the Dukes of Devonshire from 1764, perhaps attracted other artists to the area, seeking aristocratic and royal patronage.

From the 1850s it began to be hard for private collectors to keep up with the displays available at international exhibitions. This was something that came about partly through the agency of Prince Albert, and after the closure of the Great Exhibition by far the largest collection of sculpture ever seen in this country was assembled at Sydenham by the Crystal Palace Company, admittedly consisting mostly of plaster casts.1 The burning down of the Sydenham Crystal Palace in 1936 and the dispersal of several important early Victorian sculpture collections have left Victoria and Albert’s collection of contemporary sculpture to enjoy unchallenged pre-eminence.

    2006 Issue Number 2 SHTAV NEWS Journal of The Association of Small Historic Towns and Villages of the UK ASHTAV VISITS FROME Frome is the most important of the five major Mendip towns and it possesses such a heritage of houses, chapels, nooks and bartons that despite several attacks of ‘regeneritis’ from the 19th century onwards, much of its ancient character and charm still remains. It has over 350 listed buildings - more than any other town in Somerset - many of which represent publish flourishes from Frome's cloth, agricultural and market traders putting their money “up-front” from the 1600s onwards. This gorgeous, if dilapidated, stock has benefited from a very active civic society and a local preservation trust that have rescued a number of “buildings at risk” and ensured that lovely streetscapes and ancient mills have not been swept aside in a gaderene rush for modernisation. ASHTAV members were fortunate to be guided around Frome by Brian Gill a former engineer and designer, whose family has lived in Frome and district for many generations. A glorious door in Church House opposite Frome’s Parish Church was made by Brian’s grandfather and embellished by him with local iron studs. Frome believes that its town was established as an Abbey site by St Alban in 685 AD, making this market town 1321 years old, although little dating from Saxon times now remains. Frome was built to nestle in the foothills of the Mendips; such low hills were ideal for raising sheep, once the monks had cleared trees from Selwood Forest.
