  • Climatic Variability in Sixteenth-Century Europe and Its Social Dimension: a Synthesis
    CLIMATIC VARIABILITY IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE AND ITS SOCIAL DIMENSION: A SYNTHESIS CHRISTIAN PFISTER', RUDOLF BRAzDIL2 IInstitute afHistory, University a/Bern, Unitobler, CH-3000 Bern 9, Switzerland 2Department a/Geography, Masaryk University, Kotlar8M 2, CZ-61137 Bmo, Czech Republic Abstract. The introductory paper to this special issue of Climatic Change sununarizes the results of an array of studies dealing with the reconstruction of climatic trends and anomalies in sixteenth­ century Europe and their impact on the natural and the social world. Areas discussed include glacier expansion in the Alps, the frequency of natural hazards (floods in central and southem Europe and stonns on the Dutch North Sea coast), the impact of climate deterioration on grain prices and wine production, and finally, witch-hlllltS. The documentary data used for the reconstruction of seasonal and annual precipitation and temperatures in central Europe (Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic) include narrative sources, several types of proxy data and 32 weather diaries. Results were compared with long-tenn composite tree ring series and tested statistically by cross-correlating series of indices based OIl documentary data from the sixteenth century with those of simulated indices based on instrumental series (1901-1960). It was shown that series of indices can be taken as good substitutes for instrumental measurements. A corresponding set of weighted seasonal and annual series of temperature and precipitation indices for central Europe was computed from series of temperature and precipitation indices for Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, the weights being in proportion to the area of each country. The series of central European indices were then used to assess temperature and precipitation anomalies for the 1901-1960 period using trmlsfer functions obtained from instrumental records.

  • Spring 2020 Course Syllabus LDST 340 Late Medieval and Early Modern Leadership: the Tudor Dynasty Peter Iver Kaufman [email protected]; 289-8003
    Spring 2020 Course Syllabus LDST 340 Late Medieval and Early Modern Leadership: The Tudor Dynasty Peter Iver Kaufman [email protected]; 289-8003 -- I’m tempted to say that this course will bring you as close as GAME OF THRONES to political reality yet far removed from the concerns that animate and assignments that crowd around your other courses. We’ll spend the first several weeks sifting what’s been said by and about figures who played large parts in establishing the Tudor dynasty from 1485. You received my earlier emails and know that you’re responsible for starting what’s been described as a particularly venomous account of the reign of the first Tudor monarch, King Henry VII (1485 -1509). We’ll discuss your impressions during the first class. You’ll find the schedule for other discussions below. We meet once each week. Instructor’s presentations, breakout group conversations, film clips, plenary discussions, and conferences about term papers should make the time pass somewhat quickly and productively. Your lively, informed participation will make this class a success. I count on it, and your final grades will reflect it (or your absences and failure to prepare thoughtful and coherent responses to the assignments). Final grades will be computed on the basis of your performances on the two short papers (800 words) that you elect to submit. Papers will be submitted by 10 AM on the day of the class in which the topics are scheduled to be discussed. For each paper, you can earn up to ten points (10% of your final grade).

  • Early Modern France, 1450-1700
    Early Modern France, 1450-1700 PHILIP T. HOFFMAN T 1s ALWAYS SAID," observed Richelieu in his Testament politique, I "that money forms the sinews of the state." 1 Most historians of early modern France would agree. "Absolutism was, in large part, the child of the fisc," notes one influential essay on early modern France, and a chorus of recent works repeats the same refrain.2 Fiscal crises, it seems, provoked nearly every change in the French political system from the Hundred Years War to the Revolution; and the tax system brings into sharper focus than any other facet of the French state both the limits of absolutism and the peculiar nature of liberty in France. To speak of the limits of absolutism may of course seem self contradictory, particularly in the case of the kings of France, who have usually been considered models of unconstrained power, able to judge, to legislate, and to tax at will. But in practice absolutism was hemmed in on all sides. To begin with, any king, even a Louis XIV, could only tax the wealth available in his country: he could not take what his subjects did not have. In France the wealth available was by and large land-some 464,000 square kilometers at the end of the sixteenth century, and 514,000 a century later. The king's subjects­ roughly 8 million in 1440, 16 million in 1560 and 1600, and 27 mil­ lion at the end of the Old Regime-by and large tilled the soil. It is estimated that 73 percent of them worked in agriculture in 1500, a figure that fell only slightly in the next two centuries: to 69 percent in 1600 and to 63 percent in 1700.

  • Before Shakespeare: the Drama of the 1580S Andy Kesson (University of Roehampton)
    Before Shakespeare: The Drama of the 1580s Andy Kesson (University of Roehampton) Beioley "Who is it that knowes me not by my partie coloured head?": Playing the Vice in the 1580s Abstract: The 1580s is a significant decade for the Vice tradition, as it is conventionally regarded as the period in which allegorical drama declined, and therefore as heralding the decline of the “proper” Vice figure. As Alan Dessen has noted, “Most scholars accept Bernard Spivack’s formulation that, except for an occasional throwback, the period after 1590 ‘marks the dead end and dissolution of the allegorical drama, at least on the popular stage’” (Allegorical Action and Elizabethan Staging 391). In the conception of those who follow Spivack's thinking, then, the 1580s can thus be seen as the crossroads between the more allegorical Vices of Tudor drama, and later characters like Richard of Gloucester who embody or evoke some of the Vice's characteristics, often while drawing attention to this influence as Richard himself does: “Thus, like the formal Vice, Iniquity, / I moralize two meanings in one word.” Such borders, however, are never neat, and in this paper I will challenge this somewhat teleological portrayal of the Vice's development through an examination of the 1581 play The Three Ladies of London, and its 1588 “sequel” The Three Lords and Three Ladies of London, and consider the ways in which the 1580s affected the expression of the Vice figure as it continued to develop and change.
