Hanoverian to Windsor Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty de Aidan Norrie

Hanoverian to Windsor Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty: Queenship and Power

Editat de Aidan Norrie, Carolyn Harris, J.L. Laynesmith, Danna R. Messer, Elena Woodacre
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 feb 2023

This book examines the lives and tenures of the consorts of the Hanoverian, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Windsor monarchs from 1727 to the present. Some of the consorts examined in this volume—such as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, consort to George VI—are well known while others, including Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, consort to William IV, are more obscure. These innovative and authoritative biographies bring a fresh approach to the consorts of this period, revealing their lasting influence on the monarchy. In addition to covering a period that has seen the development of constitutional monarchy and increased media scrutiny of the whole royal family, this volume also looks to the future of the British monarchy, suggesting ways that future consorts can learn from the example of their predecessors. This volume and its companions reveal the changing nature of British consortship from the Norman Conquest to today.

Recenzii

“The consorts of this collection lived during periods of considerable domestic, global, and monarchic change. That the monarchy has survived to the present is testament to its ability to navigate the challenges of the previous two centuries successfully. ... This collection builds a clear picture of the changes that have occurred within the monarchy since the eighteenth-century. It is a highly valuable collection, one which has broken ground for future research in eminently interesting and often understudied consorts.” (Amy-Jane Humphries, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 11 (2), 2024)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"This fascinating volume explores how consorts from Caroline of Ansbach to the Duchess of Cambridge negotiated the constraints of their position to create both public and private roles for themselves. Entertaining as well as informative, it illuminates Queen Charlotte’s interest in Kew Gardens, Queen Alexandra’s use of dress as display, and the careful attempts of Prince Albert and the Duke of Edinburgh to make sense of their difficult constitutional position, as well as more controversial figures such as the politically minded Caroline of Ansbach and the scandalous Caroline of Brunswick."
–Lisa Hopkins, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
