After a lifetime of waiting, her son Charles ascends the throne with Camilla by his side. As William, Kate, and Harry look on, he prepares for the future of power that lies before him. But how to rule?Winner of the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Play, King Charles III is the fresh, thrilling and fearlessly comic (Entertainment Weekly) drama of political intrigue by Mike Bartlett, with sensational runs in Londons West End and on Broadway. This controversial “future history play” explores the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of Britains democracy and the conscience of its most famous family. This is the script of Mike Bartletts King Charles III, subtitled A Future History Play. Written in blank verse, the play has a Shakespearean tone which well befits the title I chose for my review. In less than two hours, Mike Bartletts play brilliantly depicts not only the issues facing a monarch and his family ruling a twenty-first century democratic nation, but many of the challenges facing that nation as well.It is the near future. Queen Elizabeth II has died after a reign so lengthy that few of her subjects can recall a time when she was not their Head of State. The new King Charles III, a man in his seventies who has spent his entire life waiting for this moment, must now decide what he is to make of his new status. At his side are his wife Camilla, his son and heir William with his wife Kate, and his younger son Harry.It is a momentous time for the new King and his nation. The Prime Minister, Mr. Evans, has carefully shepherded through the House of Commons a new law intended to crack down on the press and put a stop to irresponsible reporting. Charles III and many others fear this is a giant step on the road to tyranny.How should the King respond? Does he have an active role to play, or is he merely a decorative place-holder? What should he do if he opposes a measure passed by the elected Government of the nation? And if he does take action in opposition, what will be the response of that elected Government? These are questions which have been asked many times over several centuries, but so far as the public knows (since conversations between Monarch and Minister are always confidential) there has never been an open break between Buckingham Palace and Downing Street.This is the meat of the play, and Bartletts superb script does it full justice. The new King feeling his way through unfamiliar territory, the brash Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition, and the roles played by the new Queen and the new Prince and Princess of Wales are all beautifully depicted. Additionally there is the literally haunting presence of the ghost of the late Diana. Perhaps the best character is that of Prince Harry, reduced to a minor role in the new order but vigorously determined to be independent. It is through him that the audience has a conduit to the British population: modern, multi- cultural, uneasy with the concept of hereditary monarchy yet reluctant to see it discarded.This is a truly remarkable play that should be long remembered. Perhaps the closest comparison to it in recent times is To Play the King, a BBC production from the mid-nineties starring Ian Richardson and Michael Kitchen as a domineering Prime Minister and the well-meaning King who opposes his Governments policies.

  • In the Western Mediterranean, 1703–1708
    international journal of military history and historiography 39 (2019) 7-33 IJMH brill.com/ijmh Britain, Austria, and the “Burden of War” in the Western Mediterranean, 1703–1708 Caleb Karges* Concordia University Irvine, California [email protected] Abstract The Austrian and British alliance in the Western Mediterranean from 1703 to 1708 is used as a case study in the problem of getting allies to cooperate at the strategic and operational levels of war. Differing grand strategies can lead to disagreements about strategic priorities and the value of possible operations. However, poor personal rela- tions can do more to wreck an alliance than differing opinions over strategy. While good personal relations can keep an alliance operating smoothly, it is often military necessity (and the threat of grand strategic failure) that forces important compro- mises. In the case of the Western Mediterranean, it was the urgent situation created by the Allied defeat at Almanza that forced the British and Austrians to create a work- able solution. Keywords War of the Spanish Succession – Coalition Warfare – Austria – Great Britain – Mediter- ranean – Spain – Strategy * Caleb Karges obtained his MLitt and PhD in Modern History from the University of St An- drews, United Kingdom in 2010 and 2015, respectively.

  • Apocryphilia
    Apocryphilia Simon Matthews Our Island Story Before the teaching of history to children in this country descended to its current formula of dinosaurs + Romans + Henry VIII + Hitler (with a side helping of slavery) the past was taught in a rather different way. Many who were at primary school pre-1980 will be familiar with it: Our Island Story, the carefully nuanced account of how ‘the British Isles’ produced the greatest and most progressive people in the world. Written in 1905 it was, remarkably (or not?), still a common textbook 70 years later. It’s durability, popularity and influence, over a century later, has been recently cited by prime minister David Cameron and the centre-right think tank Civitas as an example of something they would like to see updated and reintroduced. Why is this? The Our Island Story narrative certainly has its attractions. Stressing national unity, in which Englishness is overwhelmingly predominant, it gives key early roles to Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror – the latter not, of course, English – with the repelling of foreign invasions and conquests (nothing since 1066) a critical factor, highlighted by the dispersal of the Spanish Armada in 1588 and, latterly, the defeat of Napoleon (1815) and Hitler (1940). British/English excursions into Europe are seen as the brilliantly executed ventures of plucky underdogs (Agincourt, Waterloo and Dunkirk are typical here) against overwhelming odds. The literary backdrop, from Shakespeare, Milton, Pepys, Dickens etc., embellishes this. Milton appears more or less in tandem with Cromwell, both as exemplars of grimly moral, upstanding and typically English parliamentarians – refusing to bow down before Rome and ensuring the lasting legitimacy of the House of Commons.....this being portrayed throughout the book as the finest and fairest legislature in the world.

  • The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855
    HISTORY’S IMPRINT: THE COLONIAL BOOK AND THE WRITING OF AMERICAN HISTORY, 1790-1855 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay E.M. DiCuirci, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Hewitt, Adviser Jared Gardner Susan Williams Copyright by Lindsay Erin Marks DiCuirci 2010 ABSTRACT “History’s Imprint: The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855” investigates the role that reprinted colonial texts played in the development of historical consciousness in nineteenth-century America. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, antiquarians and historians began to make a concerted effort to amass and preserve an American archive of manuscript and print material, in addition to other artifacts and “curiosities” from the colonial period. Publishers and editors also began to prepare new editions of colonial texts for publication, introducing nineteenth-century readers to these historical artifacts for the first time. My dissertation considers the role of antiquarian collecting and historical publishing—the reprinting of colonial texts—in the production of popular historical narratives. I study the competing narratives of America’s colonial origins that emerged between 1790 and 1855 as a result of this new commitment to historicism and antiquarianism. I argue that the acts of selecting, editing, and reprinting were ideologically charged as these colonial texts were introduced to new audiences. Instead of functioning as pure reproductions of colonial books, these texts were used to advocate specific religious, political, and cultural positions in the nineteenth century.

  • The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College Department of History the Constitution of 1812
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY THE CONSTITUTION OF 1812: AN EXERCISE IN SPANISH CONSTITUTIONAL THOUGHT ALLISON MUCK SPRING 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Amy Greenberg Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of History and Women's Studies Thesis Supervisor Michael Milligan Senior Lecturer in History, Director of Undergraduate Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT In March of 1812, the Spanish representative assembly known as the Cortes promulgated a decidedly liberal constitution in the midst of Napoleonic invasion. The Constitution of 1812 governed Spain for the next two years until its abrogation upon the return of Fernando VII. This momentary interval of liberalism appears as an unexpected development in the history of Spain. Undoubtedly, the Constitution’s liberal, progressive, and reformist sentiments differ greatly from the conservative national culture and traditional institutions of Spain at this moment in history. This thesis addresses the causes leading Spain to adopt a constitution intent on empowering the representative Cortes, limiting the Spanish monarchy, and unifying the Spanish nation. Inherent in this project is an analysis of the distinctly Spanish brand of liberalism which attempted to combine both liberal and nationalist sentiments within the Constitution’s provisions. The rhetoric of the Constitution’s drafters claims to be attempting to revive an ancient Spanish constitution and system of government where strong representative institutions and a written constitution upheld the individual rights of the Spanish people.

  • Mike Bartlett's Future History in King Charles
    International Journal of Liberal Arts and Social Science ISSN: 2307-924X www.ijlass.org The Once and Future King: Mike Bartlett’s Future History in King Charles III Ernest Nolan Madonna University Few things are as important to the identity of the British people as their country’s contribution to Western literature and their particular form of constitutional monarchy. Playwright Mike Bartlett pays tribute to both of these themes in his “future-history” play, King Charles III: to Shakespeare, whom Ben Jonson called “Our Star of Poets” and undoubtedly still reigns as the greatest writer in the English language, and to the Royal Family. In fact, Mike Bartlett has said, The idea for King Charles III arrived in my imagination with the form and content very clear, and inextricably linked. It would be a play about the moment Charles takes the throne, and how his conscience would lead him to refuse to sign a bill into law. An epic royal family drama, dealing with power and national constitution, was the content, and therefore the form had surely to be Shakespearean. (“Mike Bartlett: How I Wrote King Charles III”) Bartlett adopts the form of the five-act Shakespearean history play, using blank verse for the scenes involving the Royals—unrhymed iambic pentameter with rhyming couplets at the end of each scene—and plain prose for the scenes involving the commoners. Like Shakespeare, Bartlett also includes a subplot that provides counterpoint to the main action. The story of Prince Harry and Jess, the anti-monarchy young art student whom Harry falls for, brings Harry to the point of wanting to give up his identity as a member of the Royal Family at the same time as the Royal Family itself faces the possibility that the monarchy will not survive if the country is brought to the brink of civil war.

    63 IAN WARD "It isn't what I hoped:" Shakespeare and the Performance of Kingship in Bartlett's King Charles III Mike Bartlett's King Charles III was first performed at the Almeida Theatre in Lon- don in April 2014, after which it transferred to the Wyndham before going on tour across the UK throughout 2015 and into 2016 (cf. Bartlett 2014a). It was immediately acclaimed: a "snowball success" according to the Evening Standard (Curtis 2014). According to Time Out Bartlett's play was "brilliantly audacious," in sum "theatrical dynamite"1 (McGinn 2015). "Bold, brilliant and unstoppably entertaining, an intelli- gent, empathetic, moving look at the power and limitations of the modern monarchy," the reviewer in The Times gushed, "theatre doesn't get much better than this" (Max- well 2014). The Daily Telegraph was just as impressed: "Outstanding and provoca- tive," its reviewer concluded, "the most spectacular, gripping and wickedly entertain- ing piece of lèse-majesté that British theatre has ever seen" (Spencer 2014). King Charles III tells the story of what might happen in the weeks which follow the death of Queen Elizabeth II. More particularly it anticipates what might happen within the respective walls of Westminster and Buckingham Palace if her eldest son decides to pursue a slightly different way of ruling. There are other locations, and different envi- ronments. There is a comic sub-plot located in London club-land. But King Charles III is principally about the highest of high-politics; for which reason critics have tend- ed to place it, understandably, within the genre of "state of the nation plays," of the kind familiar in the work of an earlier generation of radical playwrights such as David Hare, Howard Brenton and Caryl Churchill (cf.
