Robert Lacey was determined to push the BREXIT angle using MegaLiar's REVENGE on Lady Susan Hussey & Princess Michael of Kent. These guests weren't invited to Pippa's wedding reception.

They found an actor who looks nothing like Sparry. Too bad Sparry can't see how ashamed the wife is of his baldness & low IQ.

hello! I’m a literature/history student who knows next to nothing about tudor history or the english renaissance (beyond simple basics). I’ve gotten more into it because I’m taking a shakespeare class and that’s all relevant historical background, but I’d love to get more in depth. obviously you don’t have to answer, but I was wondering if you had any books/documentaries/articles that I could maybe start with? or some writers of the time that I could become acquainted with. I’d just like to get a better understanding of the era, so any help would be appreciated :)

hmm if you’re doing a shakespeare class, i would recommend focusing on elizabethan (and jacobean) research primarily, as that’s more contemporary to shakespeare! unfortunately, that is not really my area, so i don't have specific recommendations for you.

i haven’t read shakespeare on an academic level in years — but which plays you do will likely influence your reading list. so i don’t know how helpful my recommendations would be, but off the top of my head:

tudor england: a history, lucy wooding as a good overview - i don’t agree with everything in it, but i think it is a good, accessible, up-to-date summary of the period!

shakespeare and the italian renaissance, michele marrapodi is good! personally i would recommend reading about italy and the mediterranean; shakespeare himself clearly did not know much of italy, and the mediterranean often exists as a semi-fantastic, exoticised other world. but italy and tropes about italians were influential for early modern writers; so reading up on the renaissance — including petrarch as an example — might be helpful. (it might help to look into commedia dell’arte, too.)

black tudors, miranda kauffman, and blackamoores, onyeka, for discussions of race and anti-black racism. i haven’t got a specific book to recommend but definitely be conscious of how prevalent antisemitism is in shakespeare’s works, alongside other racialised stereotypes and epithets.

gender in early modern england, laura gowing. gender and gender expression is played with a lot in shakespeare, and they had some genuinely interesting feelings regarding crossdressing, and subversions of gender roles. off the top of my head there isn’t a perfect book that covers everything, but gowing’s work is pretty good!

as for the english/northern renaissance specifically, i’ve not actually read many broader overviews (and not super recently), and i don’t know how specific you want to go:

the english renaissance 1500-1620, andrew hadfield or a companion to english renaissance literature and culture, michael hattaway were solid as starting points.
