Having lost the majority of her family, Mary is left feeling alone and helpless. She seeks solace in the church, her neighbors, and friends, but is unable to find the comfort she needs. Becoming more reserved and losing her faith, Mary is relieved when her widowed aunt, Winnifred, and young cousin from Kansas decide to visit her in Massachusetts. As the women strengthen their bond and share conversations on their trauma, Winniefred offers a new perspective, describing her understanding and vision of heaven.

Set in 19th century Massachusetts, Emanuel Bayard feels unsure about his studies at the local seminary. Though he is very devout to God, Emanuel feels he is called to do more for his community. However, some of the rules and leaders of the church are more conservative in their practices, disagreeing with Emanuel’s liberal and judgment-free approach. Among these people is the daughter of Emanuel’s theology professor, Helen. Yet, unlike others in the church, Helen accepts this difference, possibly persuaded by the attraction between she and Emanuel. After leaving the orthodox church, Emanuel begins to perform humanitarian acts inspired by the teachings and behavior of Jesus Christ. When these pursuits lead to the meeting of a local prostitute, Emanuel finds himself especially dedicated to her struggle. Magdalena, or Lena for short, is a beautiful woman and talented singer, forced to prostitution to make ends meet. She and Emanuel begin a friendship as he tries to help her find a better profession.

Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Hearts

Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Hearts

Nadine Akkerman

Oxford University Press
2021
sidottu
The dazzling new biography of one of history's most misunderstood queens Elizabeth Stuart is one the most misrepresented - and underestimated - figures of the seventeenth century. Labelled a spendthrift more interested in the theatre and her pet monkeys than politics or her children, and long pitied as 'The Winter Queen', the direct ancestor of Elizabeth II was widely misunderstood. Nadine Akkerman's biography reveals an altogether different woman, painting a vivid picture of a queen forged in the white heat of European conflict. Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James VI and I, was married to Frederick V, Elector Palatine in 1613. The couple were crowned King and Queen of Bohemia in 1619, only to be deposed and exiled to the Dutch Republic in 1620. Elizabeth then found herself at the epicentre of the Thirty Years' War and the Civil Wars, political and military struggles that defined seventeenth-century Europe. Following her husband's death in 1632, Elizabeth fostered a cult of widowhood, dressing herself and her apartments in black, and conducted a long and fierce political campaign to regain her children's birthright - by force, if possible - wielding her pen with the same deft precision with which she once speared boars from horseback. Through deep immersion in the archives and masterful detective work, Akkerman overturns the received view of Elizabeth Stuart, showing her to be a patron of the arts and canny stateswoman with a sharp wit and a long memory. On returning to England in 1661, Elizabeth Stuart found a country whose people still considered her their 'Queen of Hearts'. Akkerman's biography reveals the impact Elizabeth Stuart had on both England and Europe, demonstrating that she was more than just the grandmother of George I.

The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, Volume I

The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, Volume I

Oxford University Press
2015
sidottu
The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart is the first complete edition of the letters of Elizabeth Stuart (1596-1662), Electress Palatine of the Rhine and Queen of Bohemia, daughter of King James I of England and Anna of Denmark. Volume I covers Elizabeth's life as princess and consort in the years between 1603 and 1631. It includes letters exchanged with her brother, Henry Frederick, the courtship letters of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and Elizabeth's experiences of both marital and court life in Heidelberg, especially her struggle with Germanic culture and her arguments with both her husband and mother-in-law over rights of precedence. From 1619 her letters become increasingly political as she begs her father, the Duke of Buckingham, and others for assistance in the desperate struggle for the Crown of Bohemia. Deposed in 1620, Elizabeth spends her time in exile devising ploys to gain further financial, moral, and military support from statesmen and military leaders such as Sir Dudley Carleton, the 'Mad Halberstadter' Christian of Brunswick, Count Ernest of Mansfeld, King Christian IV of Denmark, and Bethlen Gabor, Prince of Transylvania, behaviour increasingly in defiance of her father's wishes and demands. Elizabeth's letters evidence her slow transformation from political ingenue to independent stateswoman, a position cemented as her husband fell victim to the war they had precipitated. The diplomatic writing skills she developed in this period were to become her only weapon for securing both the inheritance of her many children and her own position as a key religious, political, and cultural figure in early-modern Europe.

The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, Volume II

The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, Volume II

Nadine Akkerman

Oxford University Press
2011
sidottu
The Correspondence of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia is the first edition, in three volumes, of Elizabeth Stuart's complete letters ever published. Elizabeth Stuart (1596-1662), also known as Electress Palatine of the Rhine or Queen of Bohemia, was the daughter of King James VI & I and Anna of Denmark, and a key religious, political, and cultural figure in early modern Europe. Volume II, tracing the years between 1632 and 1642, covers Elizabeth's life as a widow controlling the regency during her eldest son's minority and imprisonment. It opens with her husband Frederick V's departure from their court-in-exile in The Hague to the battlefield in Germany, and his unexpected death from the plague in Mainz a few days before Elizabeth and he would have regained the Palatinate. Elizabeth is forced to take Palatine affairs firmly into her own hands as the restitution slips away from her. Her brother King Charles I tries to lure her back to the British Isles, apparently in order to pacify her, but Elizabeth chooses a life of voluntary exile to expedite the restitution. In this most political period of her life, Elizabeth devises, often unsuccessfully, ploys to gain financial, moral, and military support for the Palatine cause, frequently in direct opposition to her brother's wishes and demands. Her letters were the principal means by which she could exert her power on statesmen and military leaders, such as Archbishop Laud, Charles I, Christian IV of Denmark, the Swedish chancellor Axel Oxenstierna, Cardinal Richelieu of France, and Wladislaw IV of Poland. Elizabeth's eldest son Charles Louis, set free by the French in April 1641, ultimately took over the regency of the Palatine government in November 1642. Elizabeth at this point jadedly relinquished her role as stateswoman.

The Winter Queen & Her Legacy: The Children of Elizabeth Stuart

Beverley Adams

PEN SWORD BOOKS LTD
2026
sidottu
As the daughter of James VI and I and sister to King Charles I, Elizabeth Stuart was destined to become a pivotal part of the ever-changing political face of seventeenth-century Europe. She was married at the age of sixteen to Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and her life seemed destined for greatness, but was later marked by violent upheaval and exile following their fleeting reign as King and Queen of Bohemia, leading to her being remembered as the ‘Winter Queen’. But her true legacy lies in her children, whose lives, marriages and children shaped the face of Europe. The Winter Queen and her Legacy: The Children of Elizabeth Stuart is an in-depth narrative of Elizabeth’s life from her early life in Scotland via the glittering court of England to the war-torn lands of the Holy Roman Empire. It follows the struggles she faced as a monarch in exile and her fierce determination to protect her children’s dynastic rights. The book also explores the lives of her thirteen children, most notably Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a loyal supporter of his uncle, Charles I, and Sophia of Hanover, who stood just one step from the British throne through the Act of Settlement of 1701 but whose son would ascend it as King George I. Based on a variety of sources, The Winter Queen and her Legacy: The Children of Elizabeth Stuart offers a comprehensive look at the life of a woman whose lineage shaped the British monarchy and who influenced the political map of Europe.

Gay and Lesbian Theologies

Gay and Lesbian Theologies

Elizabeth Stuart

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2003
sidottu
Gay and lesbian theology has been one of the most distinctive voices to have emerged in Christian theology in the last 30 years. It has placed lesbian and gay experience at the heart of the theological process. Elizabeth Stuart, one of the most prominent theologians in this field, presents the first critical survey of gay and lesbian theology arguing that its emergence was nothing short of miraculous. Gay and lesbian theologians managed to take a dominant Christian discourse which rendered them sinful, sick and harmful to the common good and transform it into a theology which argued that a person’s sexuality provided the point of contact between God and themselves. Stuart argues that, miraculous though this was, gay and lesbian theology has revealed itself to be 'bankrupt' - incapable of providing universally convincing reasons for the inclusion of lesbian and gay people and their relationships in the Church and unable to deal with the defining experience of lesbian and gay communities in the late twentieth-century - AIDS. Stuart concludes that lesbian and gay people and their opponents in the Church have too easily bought into modern constructions of sexual identity and cut themselves off from a Christian tradition which is far more ’queer’ in that it refuses to accept the stability of gender and sexual desire. Stuart argues that the only way out of the current deadlock on the issue of homosexuality in the Churches is for both sides to embrace this ancient queer tradition - a Christian tradition which teaches that in the end gender and sexual identities have no ultimate importance.
