متن يادداشت

Aristocratic women were integral to Jacobean court life and actively involvedin royal service, in the ceremonial of court and state, in the pursuit of financial benefit,in marriage strategies and court family networks, and in court, foreign and religiouspolitics and patronage. The time scale of the thesis encompasses James VI's reign asJames I of England, 1603-1625, as court life for aristocratic women did not end withthe death of his queen consort, Anne of Denmark. As ladies-in-waiting and/or the kinor clients of powerful men at court, aristocratic (and other elite women) could exercisea degree of power, authority and influence and participate both formally (through theirPrivy Chamber posts) and informally in the life and functions of the Jacobean court.This study moves beyond, reappraises, and revises recent published work on theJacobean court by literary scholars, which focuses on the court masque, literarypursuits and cultural patronage of a small number of aristocratic court women, andextends recent published work by historians who have included women in their studiesof the Jacobean court. Together with the insights gained through extensive newarchival research, this study provides a broader and deeper understanding than hithertoavailable, of the significant roles these women could play at court and the place of thecourt in their lives. Moreover, this view of the Jacobean court from a femaleperspective reveals much about that institution, about the nature of politics andpatronage beneath the level of high politics and the careers of great ministers and royalfavourites, and about early seventeenth century British aristocratic society and itsrelationship with the monarchy.
