  • English Aristocratic Women s Religious Patronage 1450-1550

    Open AccessBarbara J HarrisBOOKEnglish Aristocratic Women and…2018

    The role played by women in the evolution of religious art and architecture has been largely neglected. This study of upper-class women in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries corrects that oversight, uncovering the active role they undertook in choosing designs, materials, and locations for monuments, commissioning repairs and additions to many parish churches, chantry chapels, and almshouses characteristic of the English countryside. Their pre…

  • Steven Gunn. Henry VII’s New Men and the Making of Tudor England

    Barbara J HarrisARTICLEThe American Historical Review2017

    In my view, the breadth and depth of the research that went into producing it both explain and justify that time. It would be surprising to find a contemporary source on the new men anywhere in a British archive that Gunn has not uncovered and used in this book. His thesis, amply proven, is that the subjects of his study played a crucial role in creating the Tudor monarchy. They contributed to rebalancing the power of the great noblemen and lesse…

  • Aristocratic and Gentry Women, 1460–1640

    Open AccessBarbara J HarrisARTICLEHistory Compass2006References: 16

    This essay surveys both the external and internal developments that have shaped work on late medieval and early modern English aristocratic women in the last century. Feminism and the position of women have played a crucial role in determining the level of interest in and interpretations of the subject. The development of related fields such as family history, feminist theory, and women’s studies has also profoundly affected the evolution of the …

  • English Aristocratic Women, 1450–1550

    Barbara J HarrisBOOKEnglish Aristocratic Women,…2002

    English Aristocratic Women combines a collective portrait of aristocratic women with an analysis of the particular, class-specific form of patriarchy and gender relations that flourished among the upper classes in Yorkist and early Tudor England. The first book on the subject based on extensive archival research, it examines the apparent contradiction between the patriarchal institutions that shaped women’s lives and the wide range of their activ…

  • A New Look at the Reformation

    Open AccessBarbara J HarrisARTICLEJournal of British Studies1993Cited by: 2References: 2

    Ever since the first flowering of scholarship on women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, convents have occupied a central place in historians' estimate of the position of women in medieval and early modern Europe. In 1910, Emily James Putnam, the future dean and president of Barnard College, wrote enthusiastically in The Lady , her path-breaking study of medieval and renaissance aristocratic women, “No institution in Europe ha…

  • Women and Politics in Early Tudor England

    Open AccessBarbara J HarrisARTICLEThe Historical Journal1990Cited by: 9References: 9

    Political historians working on the early Tudor period have traditionally concentrated on institutions – monarchy, council, parliament, courts, and administrative bodies – that excluded women. The very definition of politics underlying the dominant historiography has thus made it seem both natural and inevitable to write history as if the world of high politics, the world that really counted, were exclusively male
