John F. McDiarmid, 129–47 (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2007), pp. 135–37. Collinson expresses his agreement with Lake’s observation in his Afterword to the same collection (pp. 245–60; this comment appears on p. 256). 10. At present, the politics of Elizabeth’s and Edward’s educations are starting to receive more scholarly attention. Aysha Pollnitz is currently working on a monograph that examines the polit- ics surrounding the educations of Tudor and Stuart princes, and she includes a chapter on Elizabeth. Stephen Alford and Charles Beem include Edward VI’s educated persona as a crucial element of the young king’s royal identity. Pollnitz, Princely Education in Sixteenth- Century Britain (in progress); Alford, Kingship and Politics in the Reign of Edward VI (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002), especially chapter 2; and Beem, “ ‘Have Not Wee a Noble Kynge?’: The Minority of Edward VI,” in The Royal Minorities of Medieval and Early Modern England, ed. Charles Beem, 211–48 (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008), pp. 218–20. 11. In fact, Elizabeth’s pious learning was publicly showcased even before she ascended the throne. John Bale published her transla- tion of Marguerite de Navarre’s Le Miroir de l’âme pécheresse from Geneva in 1548. Therefore, when England and continental Europe first “heard” Elizabeth’s voice, it was the voice of a well- educated, pious princess. Bale published Elizabeth’s translation under the 202 Notes title A Godly Medytacyon of the Christen Sowle. Marc Shell pro- vides Elizabeth’s text and Bale’s version of it in Elizabeth’s Glass (Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1993). 12.

McLaren specifically (and rightly) describes the image of the philosopher- monarch as masculine in Political Culture in the Reign of Elizabeth I, p. 14. Two other works that provide significant studies of women and humanism are Grafton and Jardine, From Humanism to the Humanities, chapter 2; and Mary Ellen Lamb, “The Cooke Sisters: Attitudes toward Learned Women in the Renaissance,” in Silent But for the Word: Tudor Women as Patrons, Translators, and Writers of Religious Works, ed.

To honor Elizabeth, the Dutch congregation in Norwich erected a monument that contained this inscription from Matthew 10:16: “Prudens vt serpens, simplex vt columba. / Wise as the Serpent, and meeke as the Doue” (B. G., Ioyfull Receyuing, D1r, D2r). Christ spea ks this line as he sends out the apostles to begin preaching. The full verse 16 reads: “Beholde, I sende you foorth, as sheepe in the mid- dest of woolfes. Be ye therfore wyse as serpentes, and harmelesse as doues.” Matthew Parker, The holie Bible (London, 1568; STC 2099). The image of the wolves in addition to the focus on preaching gives this inscription a strongly Protestant hue, making Elizabeth the divine

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.

  • John Donne and the Conway Papers a Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century
    John Donne and the Conway Papers A Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century Daniel Starza Smith University College London Supervised by Prof. H. R. Woudhuysen and Dr. Alison Shell ii John Donne and the Conway Papers A Biographical and Bibliographical Study of Poetry and Patronage in the Seventeenth Century This thesis investigates a seventeenth-century manuscript archive, the Conway Papers, in order to explain the relationship between the archive’s owners and John Donne, the foremost manuscript poet of the century. An evaluation of Donne’s legacy as a writer and thinker requires an understanding of both his medium of publication and the collectors and agents who acquired and circulated his work. The Conway Papers were owned by Edward, first Viscount Conway, Secretary of State to James I and Charles I, and Conway’s son. Both men were also significant collectors of printed books. The archive as it survives, mainly in the British Library and National Archives, includes around 300 literary manuscripts ranging from court entertainments to bawdy ballads. This thesis fully evaluates the collection as a whole for the first time, including its complex history. I ask three principal questions: what the Conway Papers are and how they were amassed; how the archive came to contain poetry and drama by Donne, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton and others; and what the significance of this fact is, both in terms of seventeenth-century theories about politics, patronage and society, and modern critical and historical interpretations. These questions cast new light on the early transmission of Donne’s verse, especially his Satires and verse epistles.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The documents edited in this volume were written during or shortly after missions from Elizabethan England and Jacobean Scotland to the Protestant princes of the Holy Roman Empire and Denmark. Through the particular perspectives of their authors, these accounts provide helpful if general descriptions while offering minute but critical details of two countries hitherto relatively unfamiliar to most sixteenth-century Englishmen and Scots.1 Much of the intelligence and many of the observations contained in these materials also remain obscure to modern scholarship. This edition is intended to highlight the importance of such information not only to the formation and execution of government policy but also to the intellectual formation and professional trajectory of the authors themselves. Because these documents are relevant to a number of distinct yet related fields of current scholarship, the following introduction offers an overview of English and Scottish diplomacy with Germany and Denmark before addressing the specific missions and authors, trends in diplomatic history, and the nature and purpose of travel writing during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The introduction closes with a discussion of the documents as sources of intelligence, their significance, their locations, the editorial conventions, and the critical apparatus. Elizabethan and Jacobean Diplomacy with Germany and Denmark The extraordinarily complex nature of politics and religion in the Holy Roman Empire during the second half of the sixteenth century made for often difficult and sometimes impossible diplomatic relations. The variety of perspectives and motives among the territorial princes at any given time, in addition to the shifts from one generation 1The obvious exception here are Marian exiles, who had deep familiarity with various locations in the Empire.
