“A Mirror of Men”: Sovereignty, Performance, and Textuality in Tudor England, 1501-1559 by Jessica Erin Riddell a Thesis “A Mirror of Men”: Sovereignty, Performance, and Textuality in Tudor England, 1501-1559 by Jessica Erin Riddell A thesis submitted to the Department of English In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada February, 2009 Copyright © Jessica Erin Riddell, 2009 ABSTRACT Sixteenth-century England witnessed both unprecedented generic experimentation in the recording of spectacle and a shift in strategies of sovereign representation and subject formation: it is the central objective of this dissertation to argue for the reciprocal implication of these two phenomena. Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I used performance to legitimate their authority. Aristocratic and civic identities, in turn, were modelled on sovereign identity, which was disseminated through narratives in civic entries, tournaments, public progresses, and courtly pageantry. This dissertation investigates the relationship between ritualized social dramas (a marriage, birth, and coronation) and the mechanisms behind the recording and dissemination of these performances in courtly and civic texts in England from 1501 to 1559. Focussing on The Receyt of the Ladie Kateryne (London 1501), The Great Tournament Roll of Westminster (Westminster 1511), and The Quenes Maiesties Passage (London 1559), this project attempts to understand the role performance texts played in developing conceptions of social identity. Specifically, this dissertation seeks to demonstrate that a number of new hybrid genres emerged in Tudor England to record ritualized social dramas. I argue that each of the texts under scrutiny stands out as a unique record of performance as their authors use unprecedented narrative strategies to invest their accounts with “liveness,” situating the reader as a “spectator” of the sovereign within a performative context. An important objective of these hybrid genres was to control the audience/reader’s response to the symbology of performance. Each monarch attempted to influence social and political identities through courtly performance; however, the challenges of governing differed among reigns. While Henry VII struggled against charges of illegitimacy, Henry VIII had to consolidate the loyalties of his nobles, and Elizabeth I came to the throne ii amidst religious turmoil and anxieties about female rule. Strategies for the performance and recording of sovereign authority shifted, therefore, to account for the changes in England’s political structure. By examining how performance is textualized in these new genres, I attempt to expose the tensions animating the relationships among the monarch, his/her nobility, and the civic authorities. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS One of the central themes of this study is that performance is not a unified, coherent product of a single animating author. Instead, multiple agents are responsible for the production of meaning: a host of valuable contributors are essential to the success or contestation of larger figural narratives. In the case of this dissertation, that set of collaborators includes a great number of friends, family members, and colleagues who have generously dedicated countless hours of their time reading drafts, critiquing arguments, fixing format, providing suggestions, and always giving boundless support. I cannot possibly acknowledge every such debt here, but first among these essential resources is my supervisor, Margaret Pappano. Margaret has been my guide from this study’s humble beginnings, acting first as my mentor during my Special Topics presentation, and then throughout the dissertation process. Her incisive comments, sharp insights, and limitless patience continue to amaze and inspire me. Marta Straznicky, my second supervisor, has been a role model for me since I was a Master’s student; her professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in my development have ensured that I stay on task and always challenge myself to improve as a scholar and teacher. Elizabeth Hanson is someone I admire beyond measure. Without her help and advice, I would not be where I am today. It would be impossible for me to overstate the formative influence my parents have had, not only on my career but on my development as an individual. They have loved and supported me unconditionally, and inspired within me the confidence that I can achieve any task I undertake. I am so proud to have them as my parents, and feel so grateful to also call them my friends. My twin brother, Patrick Riddell, was always on the other end of the phone providing me with advice, counsel, and comfort. Tara MacDonald, iv who has been with me from the first day of grad school, is the best friend anyone could hope to have; she has always been there to listen, support, cajole, edit, and calm me down during all the highs and lows life has to offer. My colleagues at Concordia require special mention here because they have welcomed me into their department with great warmth. I have benefited so much from their collegiality, and even more so from their friendships. Manish Sharma has been an invaluable support, reading and editing the dissertation with care and attention that humbled me. Without his guidance, there were times where the project would have surely run amok. Caroline Herbert and Meredith Evans were also wonderfully engaged in the project and I am so grateful for their advice, suggestions, and camaraderie. I would also like to thank my students who remind me, with their enthusiasm and voracious appetites for learning, why I went into this profession in the first place. I would like to dedicate this accomplishment to my parents, who inspire me daily to be the best scholar, teacher, partner, daughter, and human being I can be. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract………………………………………………………........…….............………...ii Acknowledgments………………………………………………….....................………..iv Chapter One Introduction……………………………………………………….....................….1 Chapter Two “A gentle and princely spectator”: Specular Subjectivity and Dynastic Spectacle in The Receyt of the Lady Katherine (1501)….................................................................................................................31 Chapter Three “A Mirror of Men”: Sovereignty and Chivalric Masculinity in the Great Tournament at Westminster (1511)…………………………………………...................................................107 Chapter Four “[O]n every side she cast her countenance”: Sovereignty and Subjecthood in Elizabeth’s Coronation Entry into London (1559)…………………………………………………………...................……195 Conclusion……………………………………………………………...................….....276 Works Cited and Consulted………………………………………...................…….…..316 vi Chapter One “words do fly, but writing doth remain” ( QMP 88): Performance & Textuality in Tudor England Remarking on late twentieth-century scholarship on sixteenth-century drama, Sydney Anglo states that contributions have “been modest, and, with a few exceptions, … confined to matters of detail (1997, vii). Anglo also notes that “almost every study of Tudor spectacle has been descriptive rather than analytic, and, as a result, much of its significance has been missed” (3). Sixteenth-century courtly and civic performance, such as tournaments, masques, disguisings, interludes, and civic entries, have been understood almost exclusively as “propaganda,” a univocal instrument of the state deployed for hegemonic purposes: Malcolm Vale, for instance, claims that these spectacles were produced by a “singular, monocentric, sovereign gaze” (49).1 Similarly, Alan Young argues that tournaments and pageantry were important sites for the production of propaganda to “bolster the status of the monarch” (25);2 and, despite his remarkable contributions to the field of Tudor performance, Anglo overlooks the role drama played in shaping social identity rather than merely reflecting subjecthood, asserting that sixteenth- century pageantry was “a straightforward display of sovereign power” (1997, 353).3 Increased scholarly interest in non-commercial drama in recent years has revised this critical attitude. New studies of Tudor courtly and civic drama focus on the complex relationship between performance and politics. 4 Jennifer Loach argues that Tudor courtly entertainments are “now universally recognized as having a serious political purpose; to transmit a message about the dynasty and its ambitions, and to claim for England a place among the cultural elite of Europe” (43). 5 In keeping with this new scholarly attitude, Lloyd Kermode, Jason-Scott Warren, and Martine Van Elk declare the necessity “for reengagement with non-canonical drama in its own right, and not necessarily set over and 1 against the writings of Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Jonson” (2). 6 With this approach in mind, I investigate courtly and civic drama and its textualization in order to argue that non-commercial drama and its various modes of dissemination played a crucial role in the reflection, shaping, and troubling of social identity in Tudor England. Several surveys of Tudor drama in the last thirty years have broadened our understanding of early modern culture and its relationship to performance. David Bevington’s pioneering study, Tudor Drama and Politics , provides a cursory glance at tournaments and courtly pageants. 7 Glynne Wickham supplies a broad overview of various dramatic representations from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, including tournaments, royal processions, miracle plays, mummings, and interludes. 8 W.R.

  • The Opening of the Atlantic World: England's
    THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII By LYDIA TOWNS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Imre Demhardt, Supervising Professor John Garrigus Kathryne Beebe Alan Gallay ABSTRACT THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII Lydia Towns, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Imre Demhardt This dissertation explores the birth of the English Atlantic by looking at English activities and discussions of the Atlantic world from roughly 1481-1560. Rather than being disinterested in exploration during the reign of Henry VIII, this dissertation proves that the English were aware of what was happening in the Atlantic world through the transnational flow of information, imagined the potentials of the New World for both trade and colonization, and actively participated in the opening of transatlantic trade through transnational networks. To do this, the entirety of the Atlantic, all four continents, are considered and the English activity there analyzed. This dissertation uses a variety of methods, examining cartographic and literary interpretations and representations of the New World, familial ties, merchant networks, voyages of exploration and political and diplomatic material to explore my subject across the social strata of England, giving equal weight to common merchants’ and scholars’ perceptions of the Atlantic as I do to Henry VIII’s court. Through these varied methods, this dissertation proves that the creation of the British Atlantic was not state sponsored, like the Spanish Atlantic, but a transnational space inhabited and expanded by merchants, adventurers and the scholars who created imagined spaces for the English.

Meadows Abstract This work details the lives and roles of the wives of Henry VIII as well as other female members of the British aristocracy, specifically during the reign of Henry VIII and the time immediately preceding and succeeding his reign. The research cited in this work show that female members of the nobility, particularly the wives of Henry VIII, were not completely independent of Henry VIII but gained independence through their own unique households and through the decisions they made in this space they could attain a certain level of autonomy. Women’s leadership within the household could translate into leadership outside of the household and allowed women to operate and hold power independently of their male counterparts, particularly when employing religious and patronage efforts.

PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

I am especially grateful to the Duke of Norfolk and his archivists for giving me access to material in his possession. The staff of many other archives and libraries have been extremely helpful in answering detailed enquiries and helping me to locate documents, and / regret that it is not possible to acknowledge them individually. I am grateful to my supervisor, Peter Heath, for his patience, understanding and willingness to read endless drafts over the years in which this study has evolved. Others, too, have contributed much. Members of the Russell/Starkey seminar group at the Institute of Historical Research, and the Late Medieval seminar group at the University of Kent made helpful comments on a paper, and I have benefitted from suggestions, discussion, references and encouragement from many others, particularly: Neil Samman, Maria Dowling, Peter Gwynn, George Bernard, Greg Walker and Diarmaid MacCulloch. I am particularly grateful to several people who took the trouble to read and comment on drafts of various chapters. Margaret Condon and Anne Crawford commented on a draft of the first chapter, Carole Rawcliffe and Linda Clerk on my analysis of Norfolk's estate accounts, Steven Ellis on my chapters on Surrey in Ireland and in the north of England, and Roger Virgoe on much of the thesis, including all the East Anglian material.

Fin politique, poète, chasseur et écrivain, il est notamment l'auteur du Livre de la chasse, un manuel de référence pour la connaissance du monde animal. Cet homme complexe contribua à forger sa propre légende en Le Livre de la chasse, fol. 118 : " La chasse au lièvre dans les blés" Gaston Fébus (1331-1391) se nommant « Fébus », c’est à dire « Soleil ». © Bibliothèque Nationale de France - Détail L'exposition met en lumière cette flamboyante personnalité médiévale, à travers une sélection de 85 œuvres, dont la plus belle version enluminée du Livre de la chasse. Un personnage complexe et ambivalent Gaston Fébus doit d'abord sa réussite à l’image du prince respecté, chasseur et fin lettré qu’il a lui-même contribué à bâtir. Jean Froissart (1337-1404), célèbre chroniqueur invité à sa cour, a largement participé à sa légende en le célébrant dans le livre III de ses Chroniques. Fébus est un personnage complexe et ambivalent : munificent et autoritaire, cruel et retors en politique, il profite de sa position entre les deux royaumes engagés dans l’interminable Guerre de Cent Ans. Il lutte toute sa vie contre son principal rival, le Comte d’Armagnac, tout en entretenant des relations stratégiques avec les rois de France, d’Angleterre, de Castille, d’Aragon et de Navarre.

  • Introduction the Other Voice
    Introduction The Other Voice Et audiatur altera pars And let the other side be heard Traditional oral proverb in Roman law No other late medieval woman writer has received the attention that Christine de Pizan has garnered over the last thirty years or so. When we were in graduate school in the late 1970s, no modern English translations of her works existed, and many of her works did not yet exist in critical editions.1 All this has changed today with numerous new editions and translations of her texts. It would perhaps not be quite accurate today to call Christine de Pizan’s voice “The Other Voice,” since she has become the subject of countless studies, is taught in a variety of college courses, and, as one of Judy Chicago’s dinner party plates, even resides at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. But how “other” was her voice in the Middle Ages? Christine, in fact, had many voices that she brilliantly varied from genre to genre. In her early lyric poetry she spoke as a woman in love but also as a man in love; and she spoke as a bereaved woman who tragically lost her husband and missed him profoundly. It is that voice that many modern readers take to be her most “authentic” one. “Je, Christine,” is a formula that appears again and again in her works, but that name, and the persona “Christine,” are not always staged in the same way. Christine inhabits and deploys the name “Christine” in many different ways, creating different kinds of authority for herself.
