  • Lauren Morgan Richard III's Bestial Masculinity and the Rhetoric Of

    Lauren Morgan Richard III's Bestial Masculinity and the Rhetoric Of

    Morgan 1 Lauren Morgan Richard III’s Bestial Masculinity and the Rhetoric of Animality in Thomas More's The History of King Richard III and The True Tragedie of Richard the Third Due to more recent scholarship by feminist and queer theorists, the study of gender in the early modern period tends to shift its focus on the marginalized by allocating agency to those outside the apex of male-dominated power structures. Rather than analyzing those outside the center, I focus within the structure by exposing incongruities that existed inside male performances of masculinity in early modern patriarchy. More specifically, I aim to demonstrate how Richard III, through Tudor discourse, functions as a beast figure who disrupts order and traditional lines of succession due to his excessive masculine aggression and monstrous violence. The literary accounts which follow the death and history of Richard Duke of Gloucester offer rich complexity to the evolving discourse on his reign and character. During the Tudor Era, he was examined in “ballads and beast fables, riddles and prophecies, chronicles and histories, verse complaints, paradoxes and plays in both Latin and English” (Schwyzer 173), featured most prominently as a bestial character, a boar personified, akin to the beast he used as his badge. For Tudor writers, much of what is written surrounding Richard III’s reign colluded in the Tudor characterization of the fifteenth century monarch as the embodiment of war, bloodshed, and instability – a beast-fable figure who appears as a warning against masculine misrule. These characterizations feature most prominently in Thomas More’s History of King Richard III and the anonymous The True Tragedie of Richard the Third.
  • Wars of the Roses Background Notes

    Wars of the Roses Background Notes

    Wars of the Roses Background Notes Source 1 – Portrait of Edward III This portrait of Edward III hangs in the South Quire Aisle of St George’s Chapel. It shows Edward as an old man, wearing the crown of England, holding the orb of state, and carrying his 6 foot sword, piercing the crowns of Scotland and France. In addition, he wears the George suspended from a blue ribbon, the insignia of his great establishment, the Order of the Garter. In the account book of Henry Beaumont, Canon Treasurer [SGC XV.59.32], we find the following entry in 1615: Maii 24 Ki. Ed. 3. oure founders picture 8li et ultra ijs ijd per billam mri Baker viijli ijs ijd [May 24: King Edward III our founder’s picture £8 and an additional 2s 2d by Mr Baker’s bill £8 2s 2d] 3 days later, on the 27th May, an entry records that a curtain was made by Daye and Berdill to hang over the painting, at a cost of 17s 8d. In 1347 following triumphs in France, Edward wanted a way to reward those who had stood by him and helped him achieve his successes. His new Order of the Garter would do this. As originally conceived by Edward, the Order of the Garter would consist of twenty-four knights including the Sovereign. By 1352, this number had increased to twenty-six. These knights would be bound together by the chivalric code and loyalty to their monarch. There are many mysteries surrounding the identity of St George, but the most commonly believed is that he was a soldier in the Roman Army, part of the imperial guard of Emperor Diocletian.

    The Red Rose of Lancaster? JOHN ASHDOWN—HILL In the fifteenth century the rival houses of Lancaster and York fought the ‘Wars of the Roses’ for possession of the crown. When, in 1485, the new Tudor monarch, Henry VII, brought these wars to an end, he united, by his mam'age to Elizabeth of York, the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York, to create a new emblem and a new dynasty. Thus was born the Tudor rose. So might run a popular account, and botanists, searching through the lists of medieval rose cultivars, have even proposed identifications of the red rose of Lancaster with Rosa Gallica and the white rose of York with Rosa Alba, while the bi-coloured Tudor rose is linked to the naturally occurring variegated sport of Rosa Gallica known as ‘Rosa Mundi’ (Rosa Gallica versicolor), or alternatively, to the rather paler Rosa Damascena versicolor. It should, perhaps, be observed that Rosa Gallica, while somewhat variable in colour. is more likely to be a shade of pink than bright red, and Rosa Alba, while generally white in colour, also occurs in shades of pink, so that in nature the colour~distinction between the two roses is not always clear. ‘Rosa Mundi’ is also strictly speaking variegated in two shades of pink, rather than being literally red and white.‘ The label ‘Wars of the Roses’was a late invention, first employed only in 1829, by Sir Walter Scott, in his romantic novel Anne of Geierstein.2 The story of the rose emblems might appear on casual inspection to be well-founded, for we find ample evidence of Tudor roses bespattering Tudor coinage and royal architecture, for example, at Hampton Court, the Henry VII chapel at Westminster, and at Cambridge, on the gates of Christ’s and St John’s Colleges, and in King’s College chapel.
  • The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England

    The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England

    The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England MATTHEW WARD, SA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy AUGUST 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, lS23 7BQ www.bl.uk ANY MAPS, PAGES, TABLES, FIGURES, GRAPHS OR PHOTOGRAPHS, MISSING FROM THIS DIGITAL COPY, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY Abstract This study examines the social, cultural and political significance and utility of the livery collar during the fifteenth century, in particular 1450 to 1500, the period associated with the Wars of the Roses in England. References to the item abound in government records, in contemporary chronicles and gentry correspondence, in illuminated manuscripts and, not least, on church monuments. From the fifteenth century the collar was regarded as a potent symbol of royal power and dignity, the artefact associating the recipient with the king. The thesis argues that the collar was a significant aspect of late-medieval visual and material culture, and played a significant function in the construction and articulation of political and other group identities during the period. The thesis seeks to draw out the nuances involved in this process. It explores the not infrequently juxtaposed motives which lay behind the king distributing livery collars, and the motives behind recipients choosing to depict them on their church monuments, and proposes that its interpretation as a symbol of political or dynastic conviction should be re-appraised. After addressing the principal functions and meanings bestowed on the collar, the thesis moves on to examine the item in its various political contexts.

    Lynn M. Thomas [email protected] please do not cite or quote without author’s permission Chapter Two. Imported Cosmetics and Colonial Crucibles: Pre-histories to the Twentieth-century Use of Commercial Skin Lighteners This draft chapter is part of my current book project that examines the production, consumption, and opposition to skin lighteners in South Africa and tracks how these processes were intimately related to developments in Europe, Asia, East Africa, the broader southern Africa region, and particularly the United States. Although skin lighteners generated significant profits and controversy in all of these locales over the past century, they have garnered scarce historical attention. The overarching aim of this transregional and transnational history is to demonstrate how changing politics of gender, race, and consumption developed through the movement of people, ideas, and especially things between a range of locations. Much of my book is focused on the second half of the twentieth century. In the wake of the Second World War, the sale of skin lighteners took off as black South Africans became more engaged in capitalist consumer culture and the elaboration of apartheid further heightened the political and social salience of nuances in skin color. By the 1960s, skin lighteners were a mass produced and consumed commodity in South Africa; one marketing survey from 1969 found that among urban African women, skin lightening creams ranked as the fourth most commonly used household product after soap, tea, and tinned milk. Over the 1970s, two different forms of opposition to skin lighteners emerged: one rooted in the Black Consciousness movement and its political affirmation of “Black is Beautiful,” and the other, in medical professionals’ health concerns over the main active ingredients then found in skin lighteners, notably ammoniated 2 mercury and hydroquinone.

    Nooks and Corners of English Life, Past and Present by John Timbs

    Nooks and Corners of English Life, Past and Present by John Timbs I. Early English Life. DWELLING-PLACES OF THE EARLY BRITONS. t has been well observed that the structure of a house reveals much of the mode of life adopted by its inhabitants. The representations of the dwellings of the people of the less cultivated parts of Europe, contrasted with those of the more cultivated countries, should afford us the means of comparing their different degrees of civilization. In the same manner we may measure the growth of improvement in any one country by an attentive consideration of the structure and arrangement of the homes of the people at different periods. The aboriginal Britons are described as dwelling in slight cabins of reeds and wattles, and in some instances in caverns of the earth, many sets of which, arranged with some degree of symmetry, antiquaries have recognised; but Cæsar tells us that the maritime tribes had buildings in[Pg 2] the fashion of the Gauls—that is, of wood, of a circular figure, and thatched. Such towns as they had were clusters of huts erected on a cleared portion of the forest, which covered the greater part of the island; and they were invariably surrounded by a rampart, constructed of felled trees strongly interlaced and wattled, and a deep fosse, which together formed a fortification. The site of the modern city of London, with the river Thames in front, the river Fleet on the west, and an almost inpenetrable forest in the rear, may be taken as a fair specimen of the locality usually selected for the residence of the British Chief.[1] That our ancestors lived in caves is attested by the existence of a group of these abodes near Penzance, the most remarkable of all ancient British Caves hitherto discovered in Cornwall, and thus described by Mr.
