Anne Bradstreet RESUMO THOSI, Aline Fernandes. Anne Bradstreet: revisiting humanist, puritan and feminist elements in the poet’s works. 2018. 144 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Estudos de Literatura) – Instituto de Letras, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2018. O presente trabalho dedica-se a explorar o contexto histórico, cultural e religioso da poeta anglo-americana puritana Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672), com o intuito de reler alguns de seus poemas sob a perspectiva da cultura retórica humanista na qual a poeta cresceu e se auto-educou. A releitura proposta será feita com o objetivo de melhor visualizar e analisar elementos feministas em sua produção. Tais elementos foram construídos a partir do que verificamos ser uma hábil capacidade de modulação da voz poética e de um domínio de certos jogos retóricos bastante valorizados na modernidade nascente. Essa expertise discursiva foi o que permitiu que, dentro de um contexto misógino em pleno século XVII, Bradstreet escrevesse sobre temas que não eram permitidos a mulheres, tais como política, história e religião, defendendo o direito e a capacidade destas de se expressarem poeticamente. Seus poemas transgrediram os padrões sexistas da época em que viveu, tornando-a, assim, uma poeta complexa e inspiradora. Palavras-Chave: Anne Bradstreet. Cultura Retórica. Feminismo. ABSTRACT THOSI, Aline Fernandes. Anne Bradstreet: revisiting humanist, puritan and feminist elements in the poet’s works. 2018. 144 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Estudos de Literatura) – Instituto de Letras, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2018 The present work is devoted to exploring the historical, cultural and religious context of the Puritan Anglo-American poet Anne Bradstreet (1612 – 1672), as well as re-read her writings through the perspective of the humanist rhetorical culture in which the poet was raised and educated herself. The aim of the re-reading proposal is to better visualize and analyze feminist elements in some of the poet’s poems. Such elements were built from what I have seen to be a skillful modulation of the poetic voice, and a mastery of certain rhetorical games which were highly valued in early modernity. The aforesaid discursive expertise allowed Bradstreet to write about themes which were not allowed to women in the misogynistic context of the seventeenth- century, such as politics, history and religion, defending women’s right and ability to express themselves poetically. Her poems transgressed the sexist standards of her time, making her a complex and inspiring poet. Keywords: Anne Bradstreet. Rhetorical Culture. Feminism.

Women Studies and Feminist Criticism, which are important fields in academic research, have been responsible for creating an area of study for a group of people who were marginalized by history. Besides raising important discussions on women’s rights, women writers share their production in all literary fields. In the twenty-first century, there have been many researchers who dedicate their academic life to studying more deeply the works of many female novelists, essayists, dramatists, poets, among others. More and more there can be noticed an increasing rise of female writers and scholars who become interested in their art. The increase in research in the field is of paramount importance for it not only provides enlightening discussions upon contemporary issues, but also because it inspires new female writers to pursue such career. I have been interested in feminine literature since I first started the undergraduate course due to the many inspiring lives and works about which I had the opportunity to study. Amongst many female authors whose works I have read, there was one who interested me the most. Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672) is known, up to the present day, to be the first person to be published as a poet in colonial America. The poet was a Puritan woman who was born and raised in England and later in life moved to the New World. The United States of America was not known as such by then, but it was a group of colonies which would become a nation only in 1776. Although the poet is commonly studied as an American Puritan writer, her English background can be strongly noticed especially in her early poems. Bradstreet had her first poetry book The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America (1650) published in England and the second edition Several Poems Compiled With Great Variety of Wit and Learning (1678), which included the author’s corrections as well as new poems, was published in America after her death. In the twentieth century, three centuries after her death, Bradstreet’s works were rediscovered by feminist scholars. In the twenty-fifth anniversary of women’s living in Harvard, a gate and a plaque were erected in honor of Anne Bradstreet where one can find her lines: “I came into this Country, where I found a new World and new manners at which my heart rose”.

The Faux pas of a Vert Galant: The Historiography of Henry IV's Military Leadership Annette Finley-Croswhite* Old Dominion University Henry IV is one of the few historical figures whose military reputation rests on the fact that he operated successfully during the course of his life at all definable levels of military command: as a soldier and partisan leader, a battlefield tactician, a campaigner, and a national strategist. He fought in over two hundred engagements, never lost a battle, and was the major victor in four landmark battles. Nevertheless, until recently most judgments by French, British, and American historians, scholars like Pierre de Vaissière, Sir Charles Oman, Lynn Montross, and David Buisseret, have portrayed Henry IV not as a great military commander, but as a risk-taking opportunist, always the Vert Galant in the guise of a skilled tactician and cavalryman.

Taylor Professor Ignacio Navarrete Fall 2013 Abstract The Shaping of Empire: History Writing and Imperial Identity in Early Modern Spain by Michael Andrew Gonzales Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Previous studies on politics and history writing in early modern Europe have focused on how early modern monarchs commissioned official royal histories that served to glorify the crown and its achievements. These works discuss the careers of royal historians and their importance at court, and examine how the early modern crown controlled history writing. In the case of Spain, scholars have argued that Spanish monarchs, particularly Philip II, strictly controlled the production of history writing by censoring texts, destroying and seizing manuscripts, and at times restricting history writing to authorized historians. Modern scholars have largely avoided analyzing the historical studies themselves, and have ignored histories written by non-royal historians. My dissertation broadens the discussion by examining a variety of histories written by royal historians and authors from outside of the court, including clerics, bureaucrats, and military officers, motivated to write histories by their concern over Spain’s recent imperial policies and campaigns.

This study of members of the wider Montmorency family in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries demonstrates the financial and political benefits derived from female benefice holding. Abbey stewards and surintendants of aristocratic households collaborated in the administration of religious revenues. Montmorency control of Sainte TriniteT, the Abbaye aux Dames, Caen, for over a century was associated with attempts to assert political influence in Normandy. Conflict ostensibly over religious reform could have a political dimension. Yet reform could be pursued vigorously by those originally cloistered for mercenary or political reasons. ecent studies of early modern nuns have emphasised the importance of family strategy in their experience. Dynasticism Rwithin convents and enforced monachisation of women to preserve family inheritances are two aspects of this strategy evident in early modern Italy, particularly Tuscany; in sixteenth-century France, the importance of female networks centred on abbeys has been noted as a significant dimension of aristocratic patronage. Such phenomena were not incompatible with reform in female religious orders which, in the context of early modern France, embraces both the impact of Protestan- " tism and renewal of Catholic devotion.

    The Marlowe Society The French Connection (Part 2): Research Journal - Volume 07 - 2010 On the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Online Research Journal Article C.W.H.Gamble The French Connection (Part 2) On the Trail of Jacques Le Doux Introduction This article is the sequel to an essay first published in 2009 in the Online Research Journal of the Marlowe Society (Vol.6) 1, under the title The French Connection: New Leads on Monsieur Le Doux . In view of the extent of the new documentary evidence here presented, and the chronological overlap, the reader may wish to refer to the previous article for additional information on the links between “Le Doux” and Christopher Marlowe, and indeed on Marlowe’s claim to the authorship of the works of “Shake-speare”. I should begin by giving a brief outline of the background to the historical events and negotiations which are discussed in both articles, with apologies to those readers for whom this is already familiar ground: 1. In 1568 the United Provinces of the Netherlands rose in revolt against Spanish Habsburg rule. Their cause gained the open support of Queen Elizabeth during the mid-1580s; England provided both funds and military forces for the continuance of the war against Spanish occupation, a lengthy conflict which was not resolved until 1609, when peace was made with Spain. The Earl of Essex, Robert Devereux, saw service in the Netherlands under the Earl of Leicester (1585-1586) and later, in 1591, led a force into France in support of King Henri IV against the Catholic League; Essex’s brother Walter was killed at the siege of Rouen.

  • Henry IV Makers of History
    Henry IV Makers of History By John S. C. Abbott KING HENRY IV MAKERS OF HISTORY Chapter I Childhood and Youth About four hundred years ago there was a small kingdom, spreading over the cliffs and ravines of the eastern extremity of the Pyrenees, called Navarre. Its population, of about five hundred thousand, consisted of a very simple, frugal, and industrious people. Those who lived upon the shore washed by the stormy waves of the Bay of Biscay gratified their love of excitement and of adventure by braving the perils of the sea. Those who lived in the solitude of the interior, on the sunny slopes of the mountains, or by the streams which meandered through the verdant valleys, fed their flocks, and harvested their grain, and pressed rich wine from the grapes of their vineyards, in the enjoyment of the most pleasant duties of rural life. Proud of their independence, they were ever ready to grasp arms to repel foreign aggression. The throne of this kingdom was, at the time of which we speak, occupied by Catharine de Fix . She was a widow, and all her hopes and affections were centered in her son Henry, an ardent and impetuous boy six or seven years of age, who was to receive the crown when it should fall from her brow, and transmit to posterity their ancestral honors. Ferdinand of Aragon had just married Isabella of Castile, and had thus united those two populous and wealthy kingdoms; and now, in the arrogance of power, seized with the pride of annexation, he began to look with a wistful eye upon the picturesque kingdom of Navarre.

  • Governor Thomas Dudley
    THE ANCESTRY OF GOVERNOR THOMAS DUDLEY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS of DUBLIN, NEW HAMPSHIRE Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists and MRS. MINNIE SWEZEY ELMENDORF of BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 1962 Printed by SIM'S PRESS, INC. Peterborough, New Harnp,hire, U.S. A. THE ANCESTRY OF GOVERNOR THOMAS DUDLEY PREFACE To Mrs. Minnie Swezey Elmendorf, of Beverly Hills, Cali­ fornia, is due the discovery of the male line of Governor Thomas Dudley of Massachusetts. This pedigree, to all intents and pur­ poses, has been lost for three centuries or more. It is so valuable to the whole Dudley family, both in England and America, that it deserves the gratitude of scores of descendants, genealogists and historians as ,vell. It may be that this pedigree has long been known to the College of Arms in London, but in the world at large, and especially in America, it now takes its proper place to the good fortune of this very eminent family. - FREDERICK L. \VEis With all the material concerning the male Dudley line, it seems extraordinary that no one in ~ ew England has heretofore discovered Governor Dudley's male ancestry. Those who came nearest to the solution believed as early as 1824, that the line came through the Duke of Northumberland, and Mr. George Adlard, in 1862, then possessed most of the vital links, though he too failed to reach the solution. For the entire line, see chart on page 20, at the end of this book. iii RUINS OF DUDLEY CASTLE, STAFFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND THE ANCESTRY OF GOVERNOR THOMAS DUDLEY There has long been a puzzle concerning the ancestry of Governor Thomas Dudley, one of the principal founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630.
