📜🩸 These are the figures on the bill that was sent to Henry VIII by Sir William Kingston (the Constable of the Tower at the end) after Anne’s execution. The total sum was paid in August 1536 (3 months after her beheading.) ✍🏻 🪓 It’s quite crazy to think about totting up this kind of bill. You just think of the immediate horror of an execution, not so much the logistics behind it all. 💻 Reading and researching this just made it that bit more ‘real.’ 😵💫👰🏼♀️ It’s even more scary to think is that Henry VIII and Jane Seymour were formally betrothed just 24 hours after Anne’s beheading and then married 10 days later. 🗣️ People at the time at Hampton Court actually commented saying, “within one and the same month that saw Queen Anne flourishing, accused, condemned and executed.” 📖 I read up on these fascinating figures in @alisonweir.historian’s book “The Lady in the Tower.” . #anneboleyn #hamptoncourtpalace #hamptoncourt #toweroflondon #historian #history #historystudent #earlymodern #medieval #medievalstudies #earlymodernstudies #tudorhistory #tudors #may #1536 #may1536

in today's episode, we are exploring the historical context for the family feud and violence between the capulets and montagues in william shakespeare's romeo and juliet. we briefly revisit the history of medieval bloodfeuds that we examined in our episodes on macbeth, then we dive into the pratices of vendettas and dueling in the italian renaissance and how this form of violence was imported into england, scotland, and wales in the late 1500s and early 1600s. we examine the rise in popularity of dueling among young men of the english nobility and gentry, how the public theatres romanticized and dramatized dueling, and how shakespeare wove this trend and reactions to it into the plot of romeo and juliet . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #romeoandjuliet #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast

Copper fittings from a coffin remade as candle holders. Embossed and pounded copper plates with coats of arms, ca 1680, candle holders ca 1820s. . Lieutenant Colonel Johan Bäck (Beck) died in 1679, and his funeral was held in Turku cathedral in 1680, after which he was buried in St Marie church, a few kilometers from Turku cathedral. . In 1810s a new church floor was made, and the tomb vaults under the choir floor were demolished. The mouldered coffins and soil were relocated in the church yard, but apparently a few copper fittings were salvaged from Johan Bäck's coffin and remade as candle holders. . There are five candle holders in the church, three of which depicting Bäck coat of arms with a greek cross and four clover leaves. One of the plates is larger than others (pict 3), and has probably been in the end of the coffin. . The other coat of arms (pict 5) belongs to the family Hufvudsköld through Johan Bäck's mother Cecilia Jöransdotter (d. 1616). The coat of arms depicts a ram's head with horns and a latin cross as crest. The head is NOT one-eyed, but its face depicted sideways (whereas the horns and ears are depicted from the front). . These plates are a fragment of quarters of nobility of Johan Bäck, that is, a series of coats of arms of his direct (noble) ancestors, that were probably all presented in his coffin. . #maariankirkko #stmariekyrka #vaakuna #adelsvapen #vapensköld #bäckifinland #coatofarms #coffin #funerals #funeraryhistory #earlymodernfuneral #17thcentury #earlymodernstudies #arthistory #objectstudies #artefactstudies #materialculturestudies #copperwork #embossing

in today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of early modern masculinity, patriarchy, and honor as we dissect Shakespeare's iconic play, romeo and juliet. our discussion begins with the examination of the expectations placed upon men during the early modern period and how those pressures are reflected in shakespeare's play – the embodiment of honor, the nuances of patriarchy, and the various faces of masculinity depicted in shakespeare's characters. . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #romeoandjuliet #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast

each year, in recognition of the National Day of Mourning/ Thanksgiving holiday in the united states, we examine how british colonialism is irrevocably intertwined with shakespeare. This year, we are taking a look at how shakespeare's works have been used to critique the legacy of colonialism. we will look at how adaptations of shakespeare's work from martinique, barbados, cuba, and kenya have utilized shakespeare's stories and characters to represent and unpack the effects of colonialism. we also discuss a 2011 palestinian production of a midsummer night's dream that intentionally worked to create post-colonial version of dream. . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast
“what do you read my lord?” / “words words words.” (hamlet II.ii) . shakespeare loved words. he even made up ~a lot~ of words that we still use today. but here is an outdated word for the heavens that he uses in 17 of his plays. it is widely accepted that the architectural design of the the globe theatre inspired shakespeare's language, and the painting of the heavens on the the roof that covered the stage might be what actors referred to when they spoke these lines. also: props to the shakespeare's globe for its recreation of the heavens for us to admire! . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #linguistics #language #wordswordswords #shakespearememes #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast

in today's episode we are joined by Carson Brakke to discuss how early modern concepts and anxieties about hospitality and cannibalism influenced early modern literature and drama, most explicitly in shakespeare's titus andronicus. Carson breaks down the early modern concept of hospitality and shares the cultural debates and dilemmas that centered around it and its inherent dangers. join us as she guides us through the cognitive dissonance surrounding cannibalism for early modern Europeans, who simultaneously used it to other non-europeans while possibly participating in cannibalism themselves! we also explore how readers and theatre-makers today can use this knowledge to interpret scenes of hospitality and cannibalism in shakespeare and other early modern works. content warning: cannibalism is discussed throughout this episode. please listen with care. our guest: Carson Brakke is a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and is writing her dissertation on representations of hospitality in early modern English literature. In addition to hospitality, her research interests include domesticity, food studies, and women’s writing. To break up the solitary work of dissertating, Carson uses her TikTok platform to talk about early modern literature and the PhD experience. You can find her @glutenbergbible, where she’s always looking to chat with more people about research, academia, and the weird and surprising sides of early modern English literature! . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #titusandronicus #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast

in today’s episode, join us on a literary journey through the transformative tales of ovid's metamorphoses and their profound impact on the works of william shakespeare. ovid's metamorphoses, a collection of mythological stories of change and transformation, serves as a rich source of inspiration for many of shakespeare's most iconic plays and characters. before diving into the shakespearean connections, we provide an overview of key stories in ovid's metamorphoses, ensuring that both enthusiasts and newcomers can appreciate the context. join us as we discover the clear parallels between ovidian stories like pyramus and thisbe and shakespeare's romeo and juliet and a midsummer night's dream. explore how a specific translation of ovid's stories impacted shakespeare and other early modern writers. . . . . . . #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearepodcast #shakespearenerd #shakespearegram #earlymodernstudies #englishliterature #englishlit #theatrenerd #theatrekid #classicalactor #theatreactor #learningshakespeare #teachingshakespeare #shakespearean #shakespearestudies #aplit #aplitmemes #elateacher #theatreteacher #dramateacher #ovid #literature #womeninpodcasting #actorpodcast #podcasters #podcastsofinstagram #theatrepodcast
