JRMMRA 9 (1988) The Elizabethan Diplomatic Service by F. Jeffrey Platt Northern Arizona University The critical early years of Elizabeth's reign witnessed a watershed in European history. The 1559 Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis, which ended the long Hapsburg-Valois conflict, resulted in a sudden shift in the focus of international politics from Italy to the uncomfortable proximity of the Low Countries. The arrival there, 30 miles from England's coast, in 1567, of thousands of seasoned Spanish troops presented a military and commer­ cial threat the English queen could not ignore. Moreover, French control of Calais and their growing interest in supplanting the Spanish presence in the Netherlands represented an even greater menace to England's security. Combined with these ominous developments, the Queen's excommunica­ tion in May 1570 further strengthened the growing anti-English and anti­ Protestant sentiment of Counter-Reformation Europe. These circumstances, plus the significantly greater resources of France and Spain, defined England, at best, as a middleweight in a world dominated by two heavyweights.

  • Elizabethan Diplomatic Networks and the Spread of News
    chapter 13 Elizabethan Diplomatic Networks and the Spread of News Tracey A. Sowerby Sir Thomas Smith, Elizabeth I’s ambassador in France, wrote to her longest serving secretary, Sir William Cecil, in 1563 that “yf ye did understand and feele the peyne that Ambassadoures be in when thei can have no aunswer to ther lettres nor intilligence from ther prince, nor hir cownsell, ye wold pitie them I assure yow”. This pain was particularly acute, Smith went on to explain, when there were worrying rumours, such as those circulating at the French court that Queen Elizabeth was dead or very ill.1 Smith was far from the only Elizabethan ambassador to highlight the importance of regular news from home. Almost every resident ambassador Elizabeth sent abroad did so at some point during his mission. Practical and financial considerations meant that English ambassadors often had to wait longer than was desirable for domestic news; it was not unusual for ambassadors to go for one or two months without any news from the Queen or her Privy Council. For logistical reasons diplomats posted at courts relatively close to London were more likely to receive more regular information from court than those in more distant courts such as those of the Spanish king or Ottoman Emperor, or who were attached to semi- peripatetic courts. There were financial reasons too: sending a special post from Paris to London and back cost at least £20 in 1566.2 But sending news through estab- lished postal routes or with other ambassadors’ packets, while considerably cheaper, was also much less secure and took longer.3 A lack of news could hinder a diplomat’s ability to operate effectively.

  • Sidney, Shakespeare, and the Elizabethans in Caroline England
    Textual Ghosts: Sidney, Shakespeare, and the Elizabethans in Caroline England Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rachel Ellen Clark, M.A. English Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Richard Dutton, Advisor Christopher Highley Alan Farmer Copyright by Rachel Ellen Clark 2011 Abstract This dissertation argues that during the reign of Charles I (1625-42), a powerful and long-lasting nationalist discourse emerged that embodied a conflicted nostalgia and located a primary source of English national identity in the Elizabethan era, rooted in the works of William Shakespeare, Sir Philip Sidney, John Lyly, and Ben Jonson. This Elizabethanism attempted to reconcile increasingly hostile conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, court and country, and elite and commoners. Remarkably, as I show by examining several Caroline texts in which Elizabethan ghosts appear, Caroline authors often resurrect long-dead Elizabethan figures to articulate not only Puritan views but also Arminian and Catholic ones. This tendency to complicate associations between the Elizabethan era and militant Protestantism also appears in Caroline plays by Thomas Heywood, Philip Massinger, and William Sampson that figure Queen Elizabeth as both ideally Protestant and dangerously ambiguous. Furthermore, Caroline Elizabethanism included reprintings and adaptations of Elizabethan literature that reshape the ideological significance of the Elizabethan era. The 1630s quarto editions of Shakespeare’s Elizabethan comedies The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Taming of the Shrew, and Love’s Labour’s Lost represent the Elizabethan era as the source of a native English wit that bridges social divides and negotiates the ii roles of powerful women (a renewed concern as Queen Henrietta Maria became more conspicuous at court).

  • 'The Political Career of Edward Sackville, Fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)'
    'THE POLITICAL CAREER OF EDWARD SACKVILLE, FOURTH EARL OF DORSET (1590-1652)' BY DAVID LAWRENCE SMITH SELWYN COLLEGE A Dissertation submitted in the Faculty of History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Michae1mas Term 1989 ABSTRACT Title: 'The Poli tical Career of Edward Sackvi1le, fourth Earl of Dorset (1590-1652)' Author: David Lawrence Smith, Selwyn College This dissertation seeks to illuminate early Stuart political history by a study of one important public figure. The fourth Earl of Dorset was a member of Charles I's Privy Council, Lord Chamberlain to Queen Henrietta Maria, and Lord Lieutenant of Sussex and Middlesex. He attended all the Parliaments of the 1620's, and sat in the Short and Long Parliaments. He was active in Court and Council throughout the 1630's, and sided with the King in the Civil War. He consistently advocated harmony and reconciliation in a period of growing polarisation. This study investigates Dorset's perception of early seventeenth century political developments, his response to them, and the reasons why he and other moderates failed to prevent civil war. It thus contributes to current debates both on the early modern peerage, and on the origins and nature of the English Civil War. The first chapter looks at Dorset's life and career up to the age of thirty. In Chapter Two a discussion of his rapid rise to political prominence during the 1620's explores the reasons for his success and the nature of his motivation. Chapter Three investigates Dorset's activities as a Privy Councillor and as the Queen's Lord Chamberlain in the 1630's.

  • Power, Presents, and Persuasion: Early English Diplomacy with Mughal India
    Power, Presents, and Persuasion: Early English Diplomacy with Mughal India ETHAN CARLSON It was the first of September in 1617 in the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire, consisting roughly of modern day India, Bengal, Pakistan, and much of Afghanistan, was ruled by the Mughal Dynasty, a powerful Muslim dynasty that ruled India for centuries. The first of September in 1617 was the celebration of the birthday of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Sir Thomas Roe, English Ambassador to the Mughal Court at the time, was in attendance. He entered a beautiful garden filled with flowers and trees with a pond in the center, a part of the palace where the ceremony was being held. All around the garden were beams, scales, and massive chains of gold, as well as countless rubies, turquoise, and other valuable stones. Into this scene entered Jahangir, covered from head to toe in diamonds, rubies, pearls, and other precious things. Sir Thomas Roe could only stand and marvel.1 After entering, Jahangir climbed onto one side of a giant set of scales. This was the ceremonial “weighing” of the Emperor. It occurred on every birthday and displayed the wealth of the Mughal Empire. On the other side of the scales various bags were heaped. First gold and jewels, then cloth of gold and silks, then spices, and so on in that fashion, until the bags had been changed a total of six times. As Jahangir, with garments, weighed roughly 250 lbs., the amount of wealth weighed at this time was immense. In fact, the amount of wealth displayed was so immense that even Roe doubted what he saw, and wondered if all the containers of the wares were truly filled with those items only and not augmented with rocks.2 This story serves to illustrate the complexity early European ambassadors faced in Asia.

Religious issues that are the subject of this article, which is the result of a monthly query in the British Library, Bodleian Library, and The National Archives of England and Wales realized thanks to the scholarship of The de Brzezie Lanckoroński Foundation, seem to be undervalued. The aim of the article is to present selected religious and political issues as important factors in the shaping of Polish- -English diplomatic relations at the turn of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Keywords: England, Poland, Ottoman Empire, Reformation, Counter-Reformation Kwestia turecka, reformacja i kontrreformacja w kontaktach polsko-angielskich w XV i XVI wieku Streszczenie Istnieje wiele tematów w historii stosunków polsko-angielskich, które dotychczas umykały uwadze historyków zajmujących się tą tematyką. Kwestie religijne, które są przedmiotem tego artykułu, będącego wynikiem miesięcznej kwerendy w British Library, Bodleian Li- brary oraz The National Archives of England and Wales, zrealizowanej dzięki Stypendium Fundacji z Brzezia Lanckorońskich, wydają się – zdaniem autora – niedowartościowane. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wybranych zagadnień religijno-politycznych jako istot- nych czynników w kształtowaniu się polsko-angielskich stosunków dyplomatycznych na przełomie średniowiecza i epoki renesansu. Słowa kluczowe: Anglia, Polska, Imperium Osmańskie, reformacja, kontrreformacja 1 Mgr Tomasz Grzebyk (ur. 5 maja 1990 r.) – historyk i administratywista, doktorant w instytucie Historii UR.

RECUSANT LITERATURE Description of USF collections by and about Catholics in England during the period of the Penal Laws, beginning with the the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 and continuing until the Catholic Relief Act of 1791, with special emphasis on the Jesuit presence throughout these two centuries of religious and political conflict. Introduction The unpopular English Catholic Queen, Mary Tudor died in 1558 after a brief reign during which she earned the epithet ‘Bloody Mary’ for her persecution of Protestants. Mary’s Protestant younger sister succeeded her as Queen Elizabeth I. In 1559, during the first year of Elizabeth’s reign, Parliament passed the Act of Uniformity, declaring the state-run Church of England as the only legitimate religious authority, and compulsory for all citizens.

  • 3. Pentland MS 142-Final
    66 Early Modern Studies Journal Volume 6: Women’s Writing/Women’s Work in Early Modernity/2014 English Department/University of Texas, Arlington Philippe Mornay, Mary Sidney, and the Politics of Translation Elizabeth Pentland York University It is enough that we constantly and continually waite for her comming, that shee may neuer finde vs vnprouided. For as there is nothing more certaine then death, so is there nothing more vncertaine then the houre of death, knowen onlie to God, the onlie Author of life and death, to whom wee all ought endeuour both to liue and die. Die to liue, Liue to die.1 In 1592, Mary Sidney published in a single volume her translations of A Discourse of Life and Death. Written in French by Ph. Mornay and Antonius, a Tragœdie written also in French by Ro. Garnier. Although she may initially have undertaken the work for personal reasons, as she mourned the death of her brother, Philip, her decision to publish the translations, some two years after she completed them, 67 was motivated by recent events at court. Criticism of Mary Sidney’s works has long been interested in the political dimension of her work, but scholars have only recently begun to explore more fully the transnational contexts for her literary activity.2 Much of that scholarship has focused on her translation of Garnier’s Marc Antoine. In this essay, I look at the early history of Philippe du Plessis Mornay’s text, originally titled the Excellent discovrs de la vie et de la mort, in order to suggest not only what the work meant for its author when he wrote it in the mid-1570s, but also what additional significance it had accrued for Mary Sidney by the time she published her translation of it in 1592.
