    1 4 The Tudors and the post-national, post-historical Henry VIII Basil Glynn The Tudors (2007–10) is a prime example of a relatively new type of post-national and post-historical television series that has become an established global alter- native to BBC costume drama. Drawing on international rather than specif- ically British ideals of nationhood, it often runs counter to received history 1 while the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) gives it a contemporary rather than historical aesthetic. It also constitutes, as Ramona Wray contends, ‘an extraordinarily detailed take on the reign’ 2 of Henry VIII and is ‘with a total of thirty-eight episodes and a combined running time of almost thirty-fi ve hours’, as Sue Parrill and William B. Robinson observe, ‘by far the longest fi lmic event ever to deal with the Tudor dynasty’. 3 SCREENING HENRY BEFORE THE TUDORS As England’s most famous (or infamous) monarch, Henry VIII has featured prominently throughout the history of British national cinema, and his vari- ous on-screen incarnations could be argued to have revealed much about Britain and its national character. Raymond Durgnat famously suggested that national cinema serves as a window onto the society from which it arises 4 and Deborah Cartmell and I. Q. Hunter, considering British historical drama as such a window, claim that it has long been obsessed with periods associated with national greatness such as the Tudor, Jacobean and Victorian eras. The per- sistent representation of such eras, they argue, refl ects ‘both a British desire

What I will not enable with any positive comments is not warning the reader in advance that the author's plan is to do so. Henry : Really?! I wanted to give this book a higher rating as I love the way that Gregory tells a story. Format see all. I think this was intentional as historically she had no queen power. Gregory believes that Perkin Warbeck was actually the real Duke Richard who had successfully escaped. I think this is a solid addition to the series. Like it or not, the Plantagenet and Tudor eras are a major locus of interest for HF readers I actually prefer the Where I got the book: my local library. Series see all.

  • THE SLANDERED WOMAN WHO FOUNDED the TUDOR DYNASTY Margaret Beaufort Has Been Depicted in Film and Fiction As a Tiger Mother
    THE SLANDERED WOMAN WHO FOUNDED THE TUDOR DYNASTY Margaret Beaufort has been depicted in film and fiction as a tiger mother, maniacally plotting her son Henry Tudor’s path to the throne, a religious fanatic and a child murderess. Yet, as we shall see the real Margaret was a true-life heroine whose story has been buried by religious prejudice and our still ambivalent attitudes to powerful women. I am the author and historian Leanda de Lisle and this is Tudor and Stuarts uncovered – discovering the truth behind the myths. There are no surviving images of the young Margaret, so we have to imagine her as her story began, when she was the victim of a child marriage, aged twelve. Her twenty-four year old husband, Edmund Tudor, was half brother of her cousin, the mentally ill Henry VI. The marriage did not last long. Edmund Tudor died of plague the following year, but he left his young widow, six months pregnant. It was the beginning of the Wars of the Roses, a struggle between cousins, in which the ‘white rose’ House of York, fought for supremacy over the failing kingship of Henry VI, from the ‘red rose’ House of Lancaster. Margaret needed a protector and so she sought refuge with her brother-in-law, Jasper Tudor, at Pembroke castle. There she delivered her baby, Henry Tudor in 1457. But the thirteen year old was so small her body would never recover, and she was left unable to have further children. Jasper then arranged her second marriage – taking her to meet her future father in law only a month after the birth that had almost killed her.

    The British monarchy on screen oving images of the British monarchy, in fact and fiction, are almost as M old as the moving image itself, dating back to an 1895 dramatic vignette, The Execution of Mary Queen of Scots. Led by Queen Victoria, British monarchs themselves appeared in the new ‘animated photography’ from 1896. Half a The British century later, the 1953 coronation of Elizabeth II was a milestone in the adoption of television, watched by 20 million Britons and 100 million North Americans. At the century’s end, Princess Diana’s funeral was viewed by 2.5 billion worldwide. monarchy Historians have argued that the power of the image has bolstered the British monarchy as its political power has waned, but media scholars have been slow to examine how that power has been secured by royal self-promotion, entrepreneurial on screen deference, narrative sympathy, reportorial discretion and spectacular exhibition. In the first book-length examination of film and television representations of this enduring institution, distinguished scholars of media and political history analyse the screen representations of royalty from Henry VIII to ‘William and Kate’. Among their concerns are the commercial value of royal representations, the convergence of the monarch and the movie star, and the historical use of the moving image to maintain the Crown’s legitimacy. Seventeen essays by international commentators examine the portrayal of royalty in the ‘actuality’ picture, the early extended feature, amateur cinema, Edited by Mandy Merck the movie melodrama, the Commonwealth documentary, New Queer Cinema, TV current affairs, the big screen ceremonial and the post-historical boxed set.
