We have focussed our attention on the blason anatomique - a subsection of this main genre - and have tried to demonstrate that the blason anatomique does fit in with the blason -poetique, which itself forms part of a French literary tradition with roots stretching back to the.fourteenth century, and which continues into the seventeenth century and beyond. The key to the genre lies in its descriptive, interpretative character, inherited from its heraldic ancestry.

    THE MUSICAL EDUCATION AND INVOLVEMENT OF THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII: Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Katherine Parre A THESIS IN MUSICOLOGY Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by BROOKE CATHERINE LITTLE B.M. University of Missouri-Columbia 2005 M. M. Ed. University of Missouri- Columbia 2008 Kansas City, Missouri 2017 2017 Brooke Catherine Little All Rights Reserved THE MUSICAL EDUCATION AND INVOLVEMENT OF THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII Brooke Catherine Little, candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri- Kansas City, 2017 ABSTRACT The first half of sixteenth-century England was a land permeated by religious upheaval and political instability. Despite being a land fraught with discord, it was a time of great advances in education, theology, and the musical arts. Henry VIII, king of England during this time, married six different women during his reign, which lasted from 1509 to 1547. Each queen experienced a different musical education, which resulted in musical involvement that reflected that queen’s own background and preferences. By and large, each of the reasons discussed in this thesis; religious, financial, social, sexual and even at times political, circle back to the idea of the manifestation and acquisition of power. Inadvertently, the more power the queen or queen in training gained as she climbed the social ladder, the better her chances of her survival were compared to her lower- class counterparts. Spanish born, Katherine of Aragon was raised at the court of Ferdinand and Isabella, where she was educated in both singing and instrumental performance, as well as dance.

    FREE THE LADY IN THE TOWER: THE FALL OF ANNE BOLEYN (QUEEN OF ENGLAND SERIES) PDF Alison Weir | 544 pages | 03 Jun 2010 | Vintage Publishing | 9780712640176 | English | London, United Kingdom The Fall of Anne Boleyn - The Various Theories - The Anne Boleyn Files At her trial, she was found guilty, and on May 19, she was taken to Tower Green in London, where she was beheaded by a French swordsman, rather than the standard axe-wielding executioner. Historians believe the charges against her were false, issued by Henry VIII to remove Boleyn as his wife and enable him to marry his third wife, Jane Seymour, in hopes of producing a male heir. The king became smitten with Boleyn and pursued her, but she refused to become his mistress. Anne Boleyn, who came from an aristocratic family, had served in the courts of other European royals. She was educated and skilled at the diversions expected of a charming member of court, such as dancing, singing and the game-like art of flirting. But she also had political functions at court. Like her father, a diplomat, Anne played a role in greeting foreign dignitaries and had some influence on matters of international affairs. Anne Boleyn — Anne Boleyn played an important part in English history and the creation of the Church of England. The king had found a new favorite in Anne, who he hoped would provide a son. Catherine had not. But Anne refused to be his mistress and held out for marriage. First, he argued to Pope Clement VII that his marriage to Catherine could be annulled because she had been married to his brother Arthur, who died shortly after their marriage.

  • The Unreliability of Language in Rabelais
    EXPLORATIONS OF THE VERNACULAR IN RABELAIS, DU BELLAY, AND MONTAIGNE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ashley Demeaus Brandenburg May 2012 EXPLORATIONS OF THE VERNACULAR IN RABELAIS, DU BELLAY, AND MONTAIGNE Ashley Demeaus Brandenburg, Ph. D. Cornell University 2012 ABSTRACT In this study, I examine communication in the vernacular in the works of François Rabelais, Joachim Du Bellay, and Michel de Montaigne. I analyze these issues in tandem with similar concerns in early modern French and Italian treatises on the vernacular, and argue that, pervasive in the literature of the period, they are best studied with a sociolinguistic eye, focusing less on orthographic and lexicographic changes in the vernacular, and more on issues that question regional dialect and ideas of ‘speaking naturally’ and ‘mother tongue.’ In chapter one, I study Rabelais’ use of the vernacular, and argue that via the regional dialects he elects for his characters, he is subtly promoting his own dialectal preferences, which reflect those of the sixteenth-century society he lived in. I examine Rabelais in conjunction with the Italian questione della lingua, and argue that his vision of the vernacular is distinct from Dante’s vision of a lingua curiale. In electing the dialects of the Loire Valley and Ile-de-France as superior dialects in his books, he actually shares much with promoters of the Florentine dialect, such as Machiavelli. In chapter two, I look at vernacular sources in the poetry of Du Bellay.

  • Bios-And-Abstracts-Definitive-Version
    Abstracts and short biographies of the authors. Aldama Nájera, Rocío (Carlos III University): “Isabel Clara Eugenia. The Marriage Policy of the Bride of Europe”. The Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia (1566-1633), eldest daughter of King Philip II of Spain and his third wife Elizabeth of Valois, was an essential figure in the peak years of the Spanish Crown. Sovereign and governor of the Netherlands with her cousin and husband Albert of Austria, she rose up as one of the most politically gifted women of the time, fighting for the interests of the Spanish Monarchy beyond its borders and legitimizing the power of the Habsburg dynasty on the European continent. In spite of the importance of her trajectory as the head of the Flemish territory, the previous years should not be forgotten; they were years marked by a complex and extensive marriage policy, which will ultimately be the focus of this brief paper. During the decades of the 1580’s and 1590’s and due to the delicate health of the children of Philip II and Anne of Austria, Isabel Clara Eugenia, then known as the “Bride of Europe”, moved beyond being Infanta of Spain to becoming the possible heiress of her father´s empire. This complicated the marriage negotiations even more, since the elected husband had to profess Catholicism, respect Isabel's political authority and defend above all the Spanish interests. At that time, the market for single European Kings and Princes, who met these requirements for the royal wedding, was quite unfavorable. The early death of some of the possible candidates, the continuous changes of power in a convulsive Europe and the excessive prudence of King Philip II, did only extend the marriage policy of the Infanta.

Mercy for Anne and a Rose for Lucrezia Amanda Iacampo Salve Regina University Iacampo 2 Historical fiction presents first-hand accounts of actual events that transport readers into the realm of the past. The retellings of these events are often narrated by fictional characters, crafted by the author’s own hand, while in other instances, an author will choose to breathe life into historical figures, the real life players of the past. The Tudors of the English royal court and the Spanish descended Borgias of the Papal States are two of the most powerful and sometimes notorious families of Renaissance Europe. Twice the Man Booker prize winner, Hilary Mantel realizes the notorious scandal of the Tudors in her novel Wolf Hall, while Sarah Dunant uses her New York Times best-seller, Blood & Beauty: The Borgias, A Novel to capture the relentless ambition of the first organized crime family, the Borgias.
