  • George Abbot 1562-1633 Archbishop of Canterbury
    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.

    ‘Skewed intimacies and subcultural identities: Anne Boleyn and the expression of fealty in a social media forum’ Mickey Mayhew A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Sociology at London South Bank University Supervisors: Doctor Shaminder Takhar (Director of Studies) and Doctor Jenny Owen Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences, Department of Social Sciences & Department of Media and Cultural Studies, London South Bank University 1 Abstract The aim of this research project was the investigation of a subculture surrounding the famous Tudor queen Anne Boleyn; what that possible subculture means for those involved, and if it constituted part of a new phenomenon of female orientated online subcultures; cybersubcultures. Through the analysis of film, TV, historical literature and fiction, the research illustrates how subcultures are perpetuated through generations cyclically. The research then documents the transition from the traditional or ‘classic’ subcultural model of the 60s to the 21st century cybersubculture and fandom, suggesting a new way of thinking about subcultures in a post-subcultural age. The research suggests that the positioning of Anne Boleyn as a feminist icon/role model, based mainly on a media-mediated image, has formed a subculture which thrives on disjointed imagery and discourse in order to form a subculture of peculiarly subtle resistance. This new cybersubculture reflects the ways in which women are now able to use social media to form communities and to communicate, sharing concerns over men and marriage, all whilst percolating around the media-mediated image of Anne Boleyn as their starting point. These interactions – and the similarities they shared with the ‘classic’ subcultural style - form the data for this research project.

    National Trust a |b |c BULLETIN rts uildings ollectionsprings issue may 2013 UNUSUAL SKILL AND ENTERPRISE Anglesey Abbey and the Cambridge Tapestry Company nglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire is home to a collection of 30 tapestries, all purchased by Hut- Atleston Broughton, First Lord Fairhaven (1896-1966) in the early decades of the 20th century. The son of an English industrialist and an American heiress, Lord Fairhaven bought Anglesey Abbey in 1926 because of its proximity to Newmarket racecourse and the quality of the local partridge shooting. He never married, but filled the house with an out- standing collection of paintings, silver and other objets d’art. As a collector he was unusual for his day: while his contemporaries in Britain and America were avidly seeking out medieval tapestries, he focussed on the 17th century. In many cases he had little or no information on the manufacture or provenance of what he bought, which makes the quality of his acquisitions all the more impressive: among the previously unidentified masterpieces of the collection are a rare mid- 17th-century Bruges tapestry, The Kindness of Rebecca; a panel from a series of the History of Artemisia, made in Paris in the 1610s for the Duke of Savoy; and an armorial tapestry from a vast series woven in Brussels for the Governor of the Spanish Netherlands, the Marquez de Benavides, in the 1660s.1 But perhaps the most unusual items in Fairhaven’s collec- tion are two tapestries he himself commissioned in the 1930s from the Cambridge Tapestry Company. The first is an aerial view of Anglesey Abbey with the Cambridgeshire landscape stretching away beyond, dotted with local villages and land- marks all conscientiously labelled.

  • Blickling) Collection
    THE LOTHIAN (BLICKLING) COLLECTION The Blickling branch of the Hobarts of Hales Hall in Norfolk was established by the judge Sir Henry Hobart (created baronet 1611, died 1625), the builder of Blickling Hall. His successors included Sir Henry Hobart, killed in a duel in 1698, John Hobart (d. 1756), created Baron Hobart in 1728 and Earl of Buckinghamshire in 1746, and John Hobart (d. 1793), the second Earl, ambassador to Russia and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The Blickling estate then passed to his daughter Caroline who married William Assheton, 2nd Lord Suffield (d. 1821), and on her death in 1850 it came to her great-nephew William, 8th Marquess of Lothian, who died in 1870. On his death in 1940 Philip Henry, 11th Marquess of Lothian, left Blickling Hall and its contents to the National Trust. Gradually over the next two decades the Trust deposited the estate’s voluminous records with the newly-established Norfolk Record Society which placed them, on deposit from the Trust, in the Norwich Central Library. On its opening in 1963 they were transferred to the Norfolk Record Office. In all, the Collection comprises about 10,000 documents, counting bundles, files and packets each as one document. It is thus one of the largest and most varied of the Record Office’s estate collections, rivalled only by that of the Hare family of Stow Bardolph. By the early 20th century storage conditions at Blickling had become chaotic1 and this and the piecemeal transfer of the records subsequently meant that the collection could not be seen as a whole or coherently classified.
