From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I de Susan Doran

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I

Autor Susan Doran
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 iun 2024

În cadrul programelor de studiu dedicate istoriei moderne timpurii, tranziția dinastică de la Tudori la Stuarți reprezintă un punct de cotitură adesea simplificat. În lucrarea From Tudor to Stuart, Susan Doran demontează mitul unei succesiuni line, oferind o analiză riguroasă a primului deceniu de domnie al lui James I. Găsim în această carte o perspectivă care depășește narativul politic clasic, integrând cultura materială și literatura epocii — de la măști de curte la poezie — pentru a reconstrui atmosfera de incertitudine a anului 1603. Reținem modul în care autoarea investighează schimbările de personal de la centrul puterii și adaptarea instituțiilor monarhice la viziunea unui rege scoțian privit inițial cu suspiciune.

Volumul extinde cadrul propus de The Accession of James I de G. Burgess, aducând date noi despre rolul reginei Anna și despre influența facțiunilor scoțiene în consiliul privat englez. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe momentul punctual al succesiunii, From Tudor to Stuart oferă o perspectivă sistemică asupra modului în care „fantoma” Elisabetei a continuat să bântuie politicile noului regim. Această monografie se încadrează organic în opera autoarei Susan Doran, completând temele succesiunii abordate în Elizabeth and Mary și Elizabeth I and Her Circle. Spre deosebire de studiile sale anterioare centrate pe figura Reginei Fecioare, aici descoperim o analiză matură a consecințelor pe termen lung ale absenței unui moștenitor direct, explorând tensiunile dintre coroană și parlament care vor prefigura crizele secolului al XVII-lea.

Descriere

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the troubled accession of England's first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century.From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects.The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605). Contrary to traditional assumptions, James's accession was by no means a smooth one.The really important question about James's reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political life and royal policies. Sue Doran also examines how far the establishment of a new Stuart dynasty resulted in fresh personnel at the centre of power, and the alterations in monarchical institutions and shifts in political culture and governmental policies that occurred. Here the book offers a fresh look at James and his wife Anna, suggesting a new interpretation of their characters and qualities.But the Jacobean era was not just about James and his wife, and Regime Change includes a host of historical figures, many of whom will be familiar to readers: whether Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil, or the Scots who filled James's inner court. The inside story of the Jacobean court also brings to life the wider politics and national events of the early seventeenth century, including the Gunpowder Plot, the establishment of Jamestown in Virginia, the Plantations in Ulster, the growing royal struggle with parliament, and the doomed attempt to bring about union with Scotland.

[An] authoritative and deeply researched history.
An encyclopedic synthesis of recent research, From Tudor to Stuart will be indispensable for students of the period.
From Tudor to Stuart offers much to stimulate - and even to entertain.
One of the delightful aspects of this book is the author's flair for cultural history and literary readings alongside her mastery of the politics and economics of the period... From Tudor to Stuart will surely land on every student reading list, not only because of Doran's pedigree, but because it manages to give us a new perspective on an overstudied period.

From Tudor to Stuart provides a learned and judicious guide to English politics that James would have benefited from reading as he travelled south from Edinburgh in 1603.
meticulously detailed... well worth a read.
From Tudor to Stuart traces the excitement generated by the arrival of the new monarch and the importance of his early initiatives...James emerges as a sympathetic figure facing significant religious, financial and political problems left at Elizabeth's death.

This masterful study... demonstrates why Susan Doran is one of the UK's foremost scholars. Brilliantly told and provocative, it questions long-standing assumptions about just how different were the last Tudor and the first Stuart sovereigns of England.
Doran (Univ. of Oxford, England), the doyenne of Elizabethan historians, has written an eminently satisfying book that examines the political, religious, and cultural shifts attending the accession of the first adult male to occupy the throne of England since 1547. Doran provides a dense narrative of events from the death of Elizabeth to the end of James's first decade.
In many respects this is a specialist's book. Its individual chapters offer detailed accounts of the people and institutions of government, with considerations of the royal households, the court and courtiers, the privy council and other councillors, and the English parliament and its membership. These are followed by discussions ofProtestants and puritans, Catholics and recusants, James's pursuit of an Anglo-Scots union, and Britain's external relations, principally with the Habsburgs and the Dutch. The cast of characters, debates, and flashpoints around each of these topics are presented in substantial detail, but at the expense of creating a joined-up narrative for the whole. Scholars owe Doran a debt in assembling such a comprehensive overview of how the Stuart monarchy functioned during its early years.
