Tatiana C. String

In architecture, music and literature, in paintings, films and television series, in print and on the internet, the Tudors are a hugely popular commodity. This volume is the first to study this phenomenon in depth, assembling foremost scholars in multiple fields to examine why the Tudors still make such an impact.

Historical Imagination and the Appropriation of the Sixteenth Century

Tudorism

Through in-depth analysis of a wide variety of works of art, including portraits, pageants, and prints, Tatiana String analyzes Henry VIII's use of art to communicate with his subjects. Looking at Henrician England as a case study, String enriches our understanding of the fundamental contribution of imagery to communication, and provides a model for the study of the dissemination of ideas and the patron-artist relationship in other courts and historical periods.
