Anna of Denmark and Henrietta Maria
Virgins, Witches, And Catholic Queens
di Susan Dunn-Hensley
Editore: Springer International Publishing
EAN: 9783319875026
ISBN: 3319875027
Pagine: 240
Formato: Paperback
This book examines how early Stuart queens navigated their roles as political players and artistic patrons in a culture deeply conflicted about the legitimacy of female authority. Anna of Denmark and Henrietta Maria both employed powerful female archetypes such as Amazons and the Virgin Mary in court performances. Susan Dunn-Hensley analyzes how darker images of usurping, contaminating women, epitomized by the witch, often merged with these celebratory depictions. By tracing these competing representations through the Jacobean and Caroline periods, Dunn-Hensley peels back layers of misogyny from historical scholarship and points to rich new lines of inquiry. Few have written about Annäs religious beliefs, and comparing her Catholicism with Henrietta Mariäs illuminates the ways in which both women were politically subversive. This book offers an important corrective to centuries of negative representation, and contributes to a fuller understanding of the role of queenship in the English Civil War and the fall of the Stuart monarchy.
