Luxury and Power
Helen Jacobsen’s fine study of the material world of late Stuart diplomats richly documents their purchase of lavish furnishings, plate, tapestries and artwork for their embassies abroad, and their transfer of European fashion and artists home to England. Superbly researched, the book lays out just how an embassy was set up, from the appropriate house to the symbolic representations of the Crown, including the chair of state, royal portrait, and …

Beyond the Pale
John Cusacke, an Irish gentleman who was educated on the continent and worked on the fringes of the court of wards, constructed a striking re-reading of kingship, law, colonial government, and parliament in a series of tracts written between 1615 and 1647. His writings provide insight both into seventeenth-century colonial theory and early Stuart political thought. Shaped in the cauldron of Irish land struggles and continental political thought, …
Hobbes on the Grand Tour
Hobbes on the Grand Tour: Paris, Venice, or London? Linda Levy Peck Hobbes scholars have long been frustrated by how little contemporary evidence exists for the period when, after graduating from University in 1608, Hobbes was appointed by Lord Cavendish as tutor to his son Sir William Cavendish. Based on a license to travel granted in February 1610 1 and a parenthetical date in a late seventeenth-century source, 2 scholars from George Croom Robe…

The Mental world of the Jacobean court
For a King not to be bountiful were a fault”
In an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery of the work of William Dobson entitled “The Royalists at War,” one portrait among the Cavalier soldiers and commanders was that of Sir Thomas Aylesbury. Aylesbury holds in his hand a document that begins, “To the King's most Excellent Majesty The Humble Petition.” By posing in his official black robes that evoke the solemnity of the law and by giving the petition prominence, Aylesbury celebrates h…
Goodwin v . Fortescue
The Earl of Northampton, Merchant Grievances and the Addled Parliament of 1614
S. R. Gardiner, the doyen of English historians, wrote of the earl of Northampton's oration, delivered at a conference between the two houses of parliament in 1607, that it was ‘a speech which hardly any other man in England would have allowed himself to utter. In him was combined the superciliousness of a courtier with the haughtiness of a member of the old nobility. He treated the Commons as if they were the dust beneath his feet.’1 Furthermore…
Problems in Jacobean Administration
Complaints about corrupt administrative practices were endemic to the Tudor-Stuart state. During the reign of James I, however, the issue of corruption was transformed from a staple of political discourse to an issue which not only aggravated administrative problems but also undermined the crown's very legitimacy. With the impeachment in 1621 of James' lord chancellor, Francis Bacon, for accepting bribes while holding judicial office, parliament …
