Abstract

This is the first full-length critical study of country house entertainment, a genre central to late Elizabethan politics. It shows how the short plays staged for the Queen at country estates like Kenilworth Castle and Elvetham shaped literary trends and intervened in political debates, including whether women made good politicians and what roles the church and local culture should play in definitions of England. In performance and print, country house entertainments facilitated political negotiations, rethought gender roles, and crafted regional and national identities. In its investigation of how the hosts used performances to negotiate local and national politics, the book also sheds light on how and why such entertainments enabled female performance and authorship at a time when English women did not write or perform commercial plays. Written in a lively and accessible style, this is fascinating reading for scholars and students of early modern literature, theatre, and women's history.

Abstract

1501 L’archiduc d’Autriche Philippe le Beau, comte de Flandre, et son épouse Jeanne de Castille, héritière des rois catholiques, quittent Bruxelles pour se rendre en Espagne. Leur parcours à travers le royaume de France est l’occasion de nombreuses réceptions dans les villes qu’ils traversent et notamment à Paris. Les archiducs sont reçus fastueusement par Louis XII et Anne de Bretagne au château de Blois où se succèdent réjouissances et tractations diplomatiques en vue des fiançailles de Claude de France avec le futur Charles Quint. Les divers récits du voyage et de la rencontre des souverains à Blois fournissent un précieux instantané de la vie à la cour de France autour de 1500, ainsi qu’un véritable who’s who de ses protagonistes. Réunissant les principales relations de cet évènement, Monique Chatenet et Pierre-Gilles Girault découvrent les péripéties du voyage, analysent le cérémonial et le protocole, étudient les enjeux diplomatiques. Grâce à une mystérieuse narratrice proche de l’archiduchesse, ils mettent en lumière le rôle des femmes à la cour et la rivalité des princesses, ils décryptent son témoignage unique sur l’aménagement, l’ameublement et la décoration des appartements royaux du château de Blois. Alors que Charles Quint n’est encore qu’un enfant, la France apparaît déjà au cœur des relations internationales entre Empire germanique et Espagne et la ville natale de Louis XII fait figure pour un temps de capitale européenne.

Abstract

Mistress of everything examines how indigenous people across Britain's settler colonies engaged with Queen Victoria in their lives and predicaments, incorporated her into their political repertoires, and implicated her as they sought redress for the effects of imperial expansion during her long reign. It draws together empirically rich studies from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Southern Africa, to provide scope for comparative and transnational analysis. The book includes chapters on a Maori visit to Queen Victoria in 1863, meetings between African leaders and the Queen's son Prince Alfred in 1860, gift-giving in the Queen's name on colonial frontiers in Canada and Australia, and Maori women's references to Queen Victoria in support of their own chiefly status and rights.
