Reviews
Ward does an excellent job of contextualizing England politically, religiously, and culturally. . . .This work's major contribution to the study of political rhetoric and gender in early modern England is its ability to show how highly politicized the genre of tragedy became at this time in which queens were directly awarded political agency. . . .Ward presents a valuable and unique perspective on how culture under the last Tudor monarchs was shaped and the ways in which it shifted., [R]eaders will find useful some of Ward's sustained readings of neglected Tudor plays, including a cogently argued chapter on early English translations of Senecan tragedies., This book has the potential to make a significant contribution to the study of Tudor tragedy by refocusing attention on the representation of women therein., In Women and Tudor Tragedy, Ward looks to several Tudor tragedies to demonstrate how the role of counselors in these plays can provide a means for examining how male hierarchy attempted to maintain power when Mary and Elizabeth I were on the throne. Ward historicizes the education and role of counselors in the lives and monarchies of the Tudor queens. She then discusses the role of counsel to (and counsel from) women in Tudor tragedy, with Jane Lumley's The Tragedie of Iphigenia and George Gascoigne and Francis Kinwelmershe's Jocasta. Ward examines Tudor translations and adaptations of Seneca, and looks at tyrants in Cambises, Gorboduc, Horestes, and Gismond of Salerne. Finally, the author considers Anne Dowriche's tragic epic poem The French Historie. Ward's focus on the role of counsel in gender dynamics provides a new perspective in an understanding of how a patriarchic society could serve their "God-ordained" rulers while maintaining a male leadership. Summing Up: Recommended. For comprehensive collections serving upper-division undergraduates and above., Allyna E. Ward examines the relationship between Tudor ideologies of political engagement and its practice by real women and as imagined in neoclassical tragedy of the period. ... Ward provides a wide-ranging and valuable starting point for viewing women characters in Tudor tragedies who figure as political counselors, tyrants, and martyrs.

Marvel Legends figure as described, relatively fast shipment to USA, packaged in a thick paper mailer. This particular figure has an original outer box that was slightly dented during shipment, which I expected coming from the UK at such a fair price point, but the figure and card packaging inside this outer box are still in perfect condition! I am more than satisfied with my order, and I would order from this seller again. Thank you!
