Book Synopsis Writing the history of parliament in Tudor and early Stuart England by : Paul Cavill
Download or read book Writing the history of parliament in Tudor and early Stuart England written by Paul Cavill and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-14 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays explores the rise of parliament in the historical imagination of early modern England. The enduring controversy about the nature of parliament informs nearly all debates about the momentous religious, political and governmental changes of the period – most significantly, the character of the Reformation and the causes of the Revolution. Meanwhile, scholars of ideas have emphasised the historicist turn that shaped political culture. Religious and intellectual imperatives from the sixteenth century onwards evoked a new interest in the evolution of parliament, framing the ways that contemporaries interpreted, legitimised and contested Church, state and political hierarchies. Parliamentary ‘history’ is explored through the analysis of chronicles, more overtly ‘literary’ texts, antiquarian scholarship, religious polemic, political pamphlets, and of the intricate processes that forge memory and tradition.
Book Synopsis Politics, Law and Counsel in Tudor and Early Stuart England by : John Guy
Download or read book Politics, Law and Counsel in Tudor and Early Stuart England written by John Guy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the norms and values of Tudor and early-Stuart politics, which are considered in the contexts of law and the Reformation, legal and administrative institutions, and classical and legal humanism. Main themes include 'imperial' monarchy and the theory of 'counsel', Parliament and the royal supremacy, conciliar politics and organization, the relationship of law and equity, and the jurisdictional rivalry between the courts of common law and canon law. The author argues that norms of Tudor England were sufficiently pluralist to satisfy both 'absolutist' and 'constitutionalist' aspirations, whereas by 1628 they proved no longer effective as a mechanism for the orderly conduct of politics. The clash between two conflicting sets of values was translated into a clash of ideologies.
Book Synopsis Studies in Tudor and Stuart Politics and Government: Volume 3, Papers and Reviews 1973-1981 by : G. R. Elton
Download or read book Studies in Tudor and Stuart Politics and Government: Volume 3, Papers and Reviews 1973-1981 written by G. R. Elton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume continues the publication of Professor Elton's collected papers on topics in the history of Tudor and Stuart England. All appeared between 1973 and 1981. As before, they are reprinted exactly as originally published, with corrections and additions in footnotes. They include the author's four presidential addresses to the Royal Historical Society and bring together his preliminary findings in the history of Parliament and its records. Several of them, which appeared in various collections and Festschriften, have been difficult to find, and some are taken from locations in Germany and the United States unfamiliar to English readers. The eight lengthy reviews here republished examine some of the major questions in the history of the age and throw light on the principles of investigation which underlie the author's own research.
Book Synopsis The Irish parliament, 1613–89 by : Coleman A. Dennehy
Download or read book The Irish parliament, 1613–89 written by Coleman A. Dennehy and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish parliament was both the scene of frequent political battles and an important administrative and legal element of the state machinery of early modern Ireland. This institutional study looks at how parliament dispatched its business on a day-to-day basis. It takes in major areas of responsibility such as creating law, delivering justice, conversing with the executive and administering parliamentary privilege. Its ultimate aim is to present the Irish parliament as one of many such representative assemblies emerging from the feudal state and into the modern world, with a changing set of responsibilities that would inevitably transform the institution and how it saw both itself and the other political assemblies of the day.
Book Synopsis Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age by : Allen D. Boyer
Download or read book Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age written by Allen D. Boyer and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634), the first judge to strike down a law, gave us modern common law by turning medieval common law inside-out. Through his resisting strong-minded kings, he bore witness for judicial independence. Coke is the earliest judge still cited routinely by practicing lawyers. This book breaks new ground as the first scholarly biography of Coke, whose most recent general biography appeared in 1957, and draws revealingly on Coke's own papers and notebooks. The book covers Cokes early life and career, to the end of the reign of Elizabeth I in 1603 (a second volume will cover Cokes career under James I and Charles I). In particular, this book highlights Coke's close connection with the Puritans of England; his learning, legal practice, and legal theory; his family life and ambitious dealings; and the treason cases he prosecuted.

Book Synopsis The Irish Parliament in the Middle Ages by : H. G. Richardson
Download or read book The Irish Parliament in the Middle Ages written by H. G. Richardson and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based largely on manuscript material, this comprehensive account of the Irish Parliament in the Middle Ages shows that early Irish parliaments cannot be identified either in form or function with their modern namesake and, consequently, demonstrates that the concept of governmental democracy had a much slower, more gradual development than historians have heretofore believed. The history of the Irish Parliaments proper begins with that held at Castledermot in mid-June 1264. During the reign of Edward II and the early years of Edward III significant changes took place—changes, the authors, point out, similar to those taking place in the development of the English Parliament, though there were important differences. The book continues with a description of the Irish Parliament in the middle years of Edward III's reign and concludes with an account of the parliament at Drogheda held in 1494, when the passing of Poyning's Law brought the period of medieval parliaments to a close. The appendices include an almost complete list of the meetings convened between 1264 and 1494, as well as copies of documents that, the authors say, are the only means whereby a close glimpse may be had of the personnel and deliberations of the Privy Council.

Book Synopsis Politics and Conceptual Histories by : Kari Palonen
Download or read book Politics and Conceptual Histories written by Kari Palonen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international expansion of conceptual historical research during last 20 years is a remarkable turn in the academia. The conceptual confrontation of different approaches, themes and forms of research has reached several academic fields in numerous countries. From the 1990s to the present Kari Palonen has shaped and supported this change with his emphasis on its role for the study of politics. The chapters of this volume offer a testimony of the changing awareness, new thematics and multiple research orientations of this story. Palonen discusses the works of Reinhart Koselleck and Quentin Skinner as partly competing, partly converging approaches to conceptual history. He applies both Koselleck's time-centred and Skinner's rhetorical perspectives in his own studies on theorising politics. Simultaneously he emphasises the heuristic impulse of both approaches for the study of political practices, for the reorientation of parliamentary studies in particular.

Book Synopsis Essays on the History of Parliamentary Procedure by : Paul Evans
Download or read book Essays on the History of Parliamentary Procedure written by Paul Evans and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 8 February 2015 marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Erskine May. May is the most famous of the fifty holders of the office of Clerk of the House of Commons. His continued renown arises from his Treatise upon the Law, Privileges, Proceedings and Usage of Parliament, first published in 1844 and with its 25th edition currently in preparation. It is known throughout those parts of the world that model their constitutional arrangements on Westminster as the 'Bible of Parliamentary Procedure'. This volume celebrates both the man and his book. Bringing together current and former Clerks in the House of Commons and outside experts, the contributors analyse May's profound contribution to the shaping of the modern House of Commons, as it made the transition from the pre-Reform Act House to the modern core of the UK's constitutional democracy in his lifetime. This is perhaps best symbolised by its enforced transition between 1834 and 1851 from a mediaeval slum to the World Heritage Palace of Westminster, which is the most iconic building in the UK. The book also considers the wider context of parliamentary law and procedure, both before and after May's time. It constitutes the first sustained analysis of the development of parliamentary procedure in over half a century, attempting to situate the reforms in the way the central institution of our democracy conducts itself in the political contexts which drove those changes.
Book Synopsis Modernizing England's Past by : Michael Bentley
Download or read book Modernizing England's Past written by Michael Bentley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What came before 'postmodernism' in historical studies? By thinking through the assumptions, methods and cast of mind of English historians writing between about 1870 and 1970, this book reveals the intellectual world of the modernists and offers a full analysis of English historiography in this crucial period. Modernist historiography set itself the objective of going beyond the colourful narratives of 'whigs' and 'popularizers' in order to establish history as the queen of the humanities and as a rival to the sciences as a vehicle of knowledge. Professor Bentley does not follow those who deride modernism as 'positivist' or 'empiricist' but instead shows how it set in train brilliant new styles of investigation that transformed how historians understood the English past. But he shows how these strengths were eventually outweighed by inherent confusions and misapprehensions that threatened to kill the very subject that the modernists had intended to sustain.
Book Synopsis The Experience of Revolution in Stuart Britain and Ireland by : Michael J. Braddick
Download or read book The Experience of Revolution in Stuart Britain and Ireland written by Michael J. Braddick and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume ranges widely across the social, religious and political history of revolution in seventeenth-century Britain and Ireland, from contemporary responses to the outbreak of war to the critique of the post-regicidal regimes; from royalist counsels to Lilburne's politics; and across the three Stuart kingdoms. However, all the essays engage with a central issue - the ways in which individuals experienced the crises of mid seventeenth-century Britain and Ireland and what that tells us about the nature of the Revolution as a whole. Responding in particular to three influential lines of interpretation - local, religious and British - the contributors, all leading specialists in the field, demonstrate that to comprehend the causes, trajectory and consequences of the Revolution we must understand it as a human and dynamic experience, as a process. This volume reveals how an understanding of these personal experiences can provide the basis on which to build up larger frameworks of interpretation.
