Shakespearean Objects in the Royal Collection, 1714–1939 - Kirsten Tambling - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The British royal collection includes nearly 2,000 objects with a connection to Shakespeare. What stories do these objects tell of the relationship between the man often described as Britain''s ''national poet'' and Britain''s royal family? Royal collecting of Shakespeare did not really begin until 1714, and has therefore broadly tracked the development, and entrenchment, of the Hanoverian—and latterly the Saxe-Coburg Gotha—royal family. Not entirely coincidentally, this period also saw a general increase in public interest in objects associated with Shakespeare''s life and biography, often to the detriment of Shakespeare''s works—a development partially spearheaded by the ''Shakespeare Jubilee'' masterminded by the actor David Garrick at Stratford-upon-Avon in 1769. The histories of specific works of art in the royal collection, from Thomas Gainsborough''s painting of Mary Robinson to a collection of relic objects relating to ''Herne''s Oak'' and Shakespeare''s mulberry tree, reveal how royal engagement with Shakespearean objects between 1714 and 1939 contributed to the development of a new constitutional settlement between the monarchy and its subjects under George IV, Queen Victoria, and George V and Queen Mary. During this period, objects relating to Shakespeare—increasingly regarded (by the royal family) as nostalgic souvenirs from a fantastical national past—were useful tools in shoring up these ideas, and in yoking the fortunes of the British monarchy to a new vision of shared national history.

Royal Traditions and the Consolidation of Power by Alexander’s Successors - John Holton - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In the wake of Alexander the Great''s death, his ambitious Successors sought to solidify their positions as kings and establish a framework of new royal traditions. John Holton delves into the interconnected strategies employed by Antigonus, Demetrius, Ptolemy, Seleucus, Lysimachus and Cassander, as well as their heirs, as they consolidated their royal power between 323 and 276 BC. Through a wide-ranging examination of royal ideology and its formative impact, a set of studies explores the significance of discursive power in the new kings’ toolkits, the wide spectrum of god–king relations that were developed to project royal status, the innovative development of father–son joint kingship as a successional mechanism, and the symbolic means for supporting the translation of power to a second generation of kings.Set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving political landscape in the early Hellenistic world, this volume offers invaluable insights into the transition from Alexander’s single empire to a multipolar world of competing royal dynasties. This period was in turn foundational for the longer-term institution of Hellenistic kingship, which played a pivotal role in in the history of ancient Greece and the near east. By bringing the Successors into a single discussion, with a comparative perspective and detailed studies of diverse evidence, Holton provides a fuller picture of the origins of Hellenistic royal practice.
