Tudor and Early Stuart Voyaging is a comprehensive historical account of the voyages and explorations undertaken by English navigators during the Tudor and early Stuart periods. Written by Boies Penrose, this book covers the years between 1485 and 1642, a time of great expansion and discovery in the world of seafaring. The book explores the motivations behind these voyages, the challenges faced by the sailors, and the impact that these journeys had on the world at large. Penrose delves into the political, economic, and social factors that drove English voyagers to explore new lands and establish trade routes, and provides detailed accounts of the voyages themselves. He also examines the impact of these expeditions on the cultures and societies they encountered, and the ways in which they shaped the course of history. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, Tudor and Early Stuart Voyaging offers readers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal era of exploration and discovery. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of seafaring, the Tudor and Stuart periods, or the impact of European expansion on the wider world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Royal Mysteries of the Stuart and Georgian Periods

Royal Mysteries of the Stuart and Georgian Periods

'There is nothing new under the sun', a phrase ascribed originally to King Solomon, applies to the present book, with echoes of 'modern' themes exposing royal scandal, sex, corruption, political absolutism - attempted - religious controversy, danger of mass-terrorism, murder and 'suspicious' deaths, 'fake news' and international threat from superpowers. And all focussing on inside stories which today would be 'investigative journalism' with huge popular media interest. This is history for both specialists and, especially, for general readers, given media interest, including TV and film coverage in 'exciting' popular history, as set out by the author. The earlier 'Royal Mysteries' in the series were full of tragedy, suffering, pathos, heroism and romance, but the present set are equally interesting and disturbing and revisionist. These include the alleged attempt to murder James I and VI before the became King of England; the scandal at court involving 'poisoned tarts', James' 'toy-boy', and a subsequent murder trial. And the following questions and mysteries: did Charles II really promise to convert to Catholicism to please Louis XIV; did Charles marry his mistress Lucy Walter, mother of rebel Duke of Monmouth; was James II and VII an enlightened religious reformer or trying to convert England to Catholicism - the religion of European superpowers; did George I 'disappear' (a 'hit' in modern terms) his divorced wife's lover before ascending the English throne; did the unpopular Duke of Cumberland murder his gay lover; did the hugely admired 'respectable' George III, devoted husband and father, marry a middle-class Quaker woman?

Community-Making in Early Stuart Theatres
Twenty-two leading experts on early modern drama collaborate in this volumeto explore three closely interconnected research questions. To what extent didplaywrights represent dramatis personae in their entertainments as forming, orfailing to form, communal groupings? How far were theatrical productions likelyto weld, or separate, different communal groupings within their target audiences?And how might such bondings or oppositions among spectators have tallied withthe community-making or -breaking on stage? Chapters in Part One respond toone or more of these questions by reassessing general period trends in censorship,theatre attendance, forms of patronage, playwrights’ professional and linguisticnetworks, their use of music, and their handling of ethical controversies.In Part Two, responses arise from detailed re-examinations of particular playsby Shakespeare, Chapman, Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher, Cary, Webster, Middleton,Massinger, Ford, and Shirley. Both Parts cover a full range of early-Stuarttheatre settings, from the public and popular to the more private circumstancesof hall playhouses, court masques, women’s drama, country-house theatricals,and school plays. And one overall finding is that, although playwrights frequentlystaged or alluded to communal conflict, they seldom exacerbated such divisivenesswithin their audience. Rather, they tended toward more tactful modes ofaddress (sometimes even acknowledging their own ideological uncertainties) sothat, at least for the duration of a play, their audiences could be a communitywithin which internal rifts were openly brought into dialogue.
