Constructing Cromwell: Ceremony, Portrait, and Print 1645–1661

Autor Laura Lunger Knoppers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iul 2009
Constructing Cromwell traces the complex and shifting popular images of Oliver Cromwell from his first appearance as a public figure in the mid-1640s through the period of his power to his death and eventual disinterment after the restoration of the monarchy. The meaning and impact of this enigmatic figure has long been debated in the context of mid seventeenth-century crisis but contemporary representations of Cromwell have largely been neglected. Cromwellian print, Laura Knoppers argues, transformed the courtly forms of Caroline ceremony, portraiture and panegyric and in turn complicated and altered the cultural forms available to Charles II. The book draws on extensive archival research, including manuscript sources, startling print ephemera, and visual artefacts. Placing canonical authors such as Milton, Marvell, Waller and Dryden alongside such neglected writers as George Wither and Payne Fisher, Knoppers demonstrates how literary texts both respond and contribute to political and cultural change.

Recenzii

Review of the hardback: 'Knoppers offers a fascinating exploration of the various images and representations of him in contemporary ceremonial, portraits, and printed forms. Her interdisciplinary approach is very rewarding, and she combines the historian's awareness of specific political and intellectual contexts with the literary critic's sensitivity to the texture, style, and voice of texts.' Historical Journal
