By Massys the Younger...................... 366 ix INTRCDUCTION The Renaissance in England witnessed the development of "anatomical" or erotic love poetry, which revels in the female body, and "topographical" or country-house poetry, which celebrates the English country estate. These genres, however, are only superficially disparate; their different subjects belie an affinity of form and idea. Essentially, women and land are perceived and described in similar ways, and the poetry reflects the aggressively masculine, imperialistic tenor of Renaissance England by simultaneously praising and appraising the lady and the landscape. The female body and the land become properties appropriated by the rhetorical discourse of the poetry. My study demonstrates how these genres are integrated by considering the contexts that inform both types of poems. At first, the series of contexts which this study lays forth may seem separate domains: the tradition of the blazon, or the taking control of a woman's body rhetorically through its division into parts; the heraldic display of the English country-house estate; the image of woman as a microcosm of the world; the rise of English imperialism; exploration narratives of a New World gendered as female; the quest for the terrestrial paradise; the development of 1 2 the sciences of cartography and surveying in England; and

  • Tyrwhitt Drake Armada Portrait © Melanie V Taylor June 2016
    The importance of the Tyrwhitt Drake Armada Portrait © Melanie V Taylor June 2016 The Tyrwhitt Drake Armada portrait of Elizabeth I has been put up for sale by the descendants of Sir Francis Drake who have owned this painting since 1775. Of the three Armada portraits, it is by far, the most superior. Like the other two, it is dripping in symbolism, but there are subtle differences between the two landscape format paintings and similarities between The Woburn Abbey Armada Portrait and that held by the National Portrait Gallery (NPG). The NPG painting has been cut down at some time, probably because it did not fit a certain space NPG portrait. What remains in the NPG version is the central figure of the queen and some elements of the background similar to the Woburn Abbey version. These elements are the columns of red with gold coloured bases, which suggests these two paintings may have come from the same workshop. In 1563 Sir William Cecil drew up a draft proclamation regarding the use of the queen’s portrait because there were so many portraits that bore no resemblance to her. There was no official template for a royal portrait; neither was there a ‘special person’ appointed to provide an approved template for use by artists’ workshops. It was not until later in her reign that George Gower was appointed Serjeant Painter, and Nicholas Hilliard became her sole portrayer in miniature portraits. Both were Englishmen, and Hilliard, like Sir Francis Drake, was a Devon man. In my opinion, a superior artist has painted the Tyrwhitt-Drake portrait.

This omission is probably to be accounted for partly by the fact that the early edition of Champlain’s “Voyages” had CHAMPLAIN not been consulted for this purpose. This contains by far the most particular, and, I think, the most interesting chapter of what we may call the Ante-Pilgrim history of New England, extending to one hundred and sixty pages quarto; but appears to be unknown WEBSTER equally to the historian and the orator on Plymouth Rock. Bancroft BANCROFT does not mention Champlain at all among the authorities for De Monts’ expedition, nor does he say that he ever visited the coast of New England. Though he bore the title of pilot to De Monts, he was, in another sense, the leading spirit, as well as the historian of the expedition. Holmes, Hildreth, and Barry, and BARRY apparently all our historians who mention Champlain, refer to the edition of 1632, in which all the separate charts of our harbors, &c., and about one half the narrative, are omitted; for the author explored so many lands afterward that he could afford to forget a part of what he had done.

  • Image and Influence: the Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I
    Image and Influence: The Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I Katherine Anne Butler Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Acknowledgements With thanks to all the people who supported me throughout my research, especially: My supervisor, Stephen Rose, My advisors, Elizabeth Eva Leach and Anna Whitelock, The Arts and Humanities Research Council for funding this research, Royal Holloway Music Department for conference grants, My proofreaders, Holly Winterton, Sarah Beal, Janet McKnight and my Mum, My parents and my fiancé, Chris Wedge, for moral support and encouragement. Declaration of Authorship I, Katherine Butler, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract In their Cantiones sacrae (1575), court musicians William Byrd and Thomas Tallis declared that ‘music is indispensable to the state’ (necessarium reipub.). Yet although the relationship between Elizabethan politics and literature has been studied often, there has been little research into the political functions of music. Most accounts of court music consist of documentary research into the personnel, institutions and performance occasions, and generally assume that music’s functions were limited to entertainment and displays of magnificence. However, Elizabethans believed that musical concord promoted a social harmony that would ease the process of government; hence politics and music were seen as closely connected. This thesis is an interdisciplinary investigation into the role of music in constructing royal and courtly identities and influencing Elizabeth’s policies and patronage.
