Monarchism and Absolutism in Early Modern Europe
Cesare Cuttica and Glenn Burgess, eds. Monarchism and Absolutism in Early Modern Europe. Political and Popular Culture in the Early Modern Period 4. London: Pickering and Chatto, 2012. xiii + 298 pp. £60. ISBN: 978–1–84893–198–5. - Volume 66 Issue 1
King, Commons, and Commonweal in Holinshed's Chronicles
Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles was the most ambitious English historical work of the sixteenth century. It was also the last work in the English chronicle tradition, and as such has remained relatively unappreciated both as an achievement in its own right and by its influence on contemporaries. Yet in its construction of national identity and its parsing of the proper relation between the royal estate and the commonwealth, it has much to say abou…
Breaking the Vessels: The Desacralization of Monarchy in Early Modern England
At his execution in 1649, Charles I remained in the eyes of many a divine king, this despite the fact that the concept of a sacerdotally marked or empowered monarch clashed with Reformation ideals. Indeed even the gathered might of John Milton, Thomas Hobbes, and James Harrington could do little immediate damage to Charles' posthumous image as blessed martyr. Nevertheless, the Interregnum did sever the continuity upon which sacred monarchy rested…
American Psycho, American Censorship and the Dahmer Case
Cet essai explore la controverse autour de la publication du roman de Brett Easton Ellis, American Psycho. Cet ouvrage, rappelé par la maison d'édition à la suite de violentes critiques juste avant la publication, décrit un tueur dont le profil saisissant avait provoqué toute une gamme de commentaires. La raison d'une réaction hostile de la critique vient de ce que l'ouvrage donne une « formulation violente et particulière du rituel capitaliste d…
The Figure of the Tyrant in English Revolutionary Thought
The figure of tyrant has been since classical antiquity one of most potent antitypes in Western thought. From Herod to Hitler, he has represented absolute transgression, political villain who defies heaven and earth. In modem world tyrant has been largely replaced by secular image of dictator, who transgresses what is lawful but only peripherally and incidentally what is sacred. The desacralization of tyranny is connected to rise of secular, cons…
Legitimation and delegitimation in early modern Europe: The case of England
In the year 1640, the government of England was monarchical; and the King that reigned, Charles, the first of that name, holding sovereignty, by right of a descent continued above six hundred years, and from a much longer descent King of Scotland, and from the time of his ancestor Henry II, King of Ireland

Edward Alford and the Making of Country Radicalism
Resentment of monopoly and purveyance, weariness with the burdens of a long war, and the fears and hopes attendant upon the accession of a new and foreign dynasty were all focussed by the meeting of James I's first parliament in 1604. If there was nothing entirely new in these elements, there was novelty and danger in the concurrence of so many grievances at a time when the sense of external crisis which had unified the country for the preceding …
