  • A Biography of Edward De Vere, 17Th Earl of Oxford, from Documentary Evidence
    OXFORD’S BIOGRAPHY 1 ________________________________________________________________________ IDENTIFYING EDWARD DE VERE: A BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD DE VERE, 17TH EARL OF OXFORD, FROM DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE INTRODUCTION Portrayals of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, in print, on film, and on the internet in the last century contain inaccuracies of both fact and interpretation. This biography attempts to separate fact from fiction, and is based, insofar as possible, on primary sources. Transcriptions of many of these primary source documents can be found on the Documents page of this website: http://www.oxford-shakespeare.com/documents.html The biography contains numerous page references to B.M. Ward’s The Seventeenth Earl of Oxford 1550-1604 From Contemporary Documents, and to Alan Nelson’s Monstrous Adversary. Nelson closely followed Ward, and these page references will permit readers to see where the two accounts diverge and interpretations differ. Both are accessible online. Throughout the biography, references to entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography identify persons with whom the Earls of Oxford interacted. In the absence of references to these ODNB entries, many of these individuals would otherwise be unknown to most modern readers who are not historians of the period, and their connections to the Earls of Oxford would be obscured. The ODNB is available online by subscription. Some of the material on the 17th Earl of Oxford in this biography can also be found in the Wikipedia entry for him, as that Wikipedia entry is largely the result of an extensive edit in November and December 2010 by the author of this biography.

  • CROWN SERVANTS: SERIES ONE: Papers of Thomas Wentworth
    CROWN SERVANTS: SERIES ONE: Papers of Thomas Wentworth CROWN SERVANTS: Series One: The Papers of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, 1593-1641, from Sheffield City Libraries Contents listing Editorial Introduction by Dr Julia Merritt Publisher's Note Note on Citations and References Supporting Comments Technical Note Contents of Reels Detailed Listing Index of Correspondents Brief Chronology Notes on Ciphers used in Strafford Correspondence CROWN SERVANTS: SERIES ONE: Papers of Thomas Wentworth Editorial Introduction by Dr Julia Merritt The papers of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, form one of the greatest collections of private papers for the study of the pre-Civil War period in Britain. A Noted ‘country’ parliamentarian in the 1620s, subsequently a Privy Councillor and President of the Council in the North, a controversial and combative Lord Deputy of Ireland in the 1630s and a close ally of Archbishop Laud and promoter of his ecclesiastical policies – Wentworth’s career encapsulates many of the paradoxes and points of tension in early Stuart politics. As Charles I’s chief minister in the latter years of the Personal Rule, Wentworth is a figure of vital importance in the period and one whose political significance is uniquely matched by a remarkably rich collection of personal correspondence (nearly 4,000 letters). Wentworth’s letters and papers are contained in over fifty letter books and volumes of original correspondence. Material from this collection has played an important role in shaping historians’ interpretations of early Stuart politics since the eighteenth century. Nevertheless, until relatively recently historians were forced to rely upon printed extracts from the collection, which were edited and published in two volumes by William Knowler in 1739.

  • Marriage Patterns of Aristocratic British Women, 1485-2000 By
    Marrying by the Numbers: Marriage Patterns of Aristocratic British Women, 1485-2000 By: Kimberly F. Schutte Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dr. Katherine Clark Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Dr. J.C.D. Clark Dr. Geraldo de Sousa Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 18, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Kimberly F. Schutte certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Marrying by the Numbers: Marriage Patterns of Aristocratic British Women, 1485-2000 _________Katherine Clark_____ Chairperson Dr. Katherine Clark Date Approved: April 18, 2011 ii Abstract This project is a study of the marriage patterns of aristocratic British women over the more than five-century period between 1485 and 2000. It employs a two-fold evidentiary base, combining a demographic analysis with a more traditional analysis of primary sources such as letters, journals, and diaries. Together, the statistical and the written evidence provide a window into the intersection of marriage and rank among elite British women between the sixteenth and the twentieth centuries. As a result of this research, this dissertation argues that there was a remarkable level of consistency in rank identity among the British aristocracy despite great changes in government, religion, and society. iii Acknowledgements A project that has been a lifetime in the completion necessarily accumulates a number of debts, both professional and personal, debts that I gratefully acknowledge here. This work has been conducted under the painstaking guidance of my advisor, Dr.
