Résumé: | "Remembering Wolsey seeks to contribute to our understanding of historical memory and memorialization by examining in detail the commemoration and representation of the life of Thomas Wolsey, the sixteenth-century cardinal, papal legate, and lord chancellor of England. Hornbeck surveys a wide range of representations of Cardinal Wolsey, from those contemporary with his death to recent mass-market appearances on television and historical fiction to go beyond previous scholarship that has only examined Wolsey in an early modern context."--Provided by publisher Introduction: memory and representation -- The basic ingredients (1530-c. 1600) -- Parchment, pamphlets, and plays: into the early Stuart period (c. 1580-1641) -- From Restoration to Catholic emancipation: texts and places (1641-c. 1860) -- Historical fiction, academic history, and civic pageantry (c. 1850-c. 1960) -- From a Man for all seasons to Wolf Hall (c. 1960-present) -- Conclusion |
