"Anna of Denmark: The Material and Visual Culture of the Stuart Courts, 1589-1619" - "" ("Field Jemma")(Paperback) - diskuze

Approaching the Stuart courts through the lens of the queen consort, Anna of Denmark, this study is underpinned by three key themes: translating cultures, female agency and the role of kinship networks and genealogical identity for early modern royal women. Illustrated with a fascinating array of objects and artworks, the book follows a trajectory that begins with AnnaÂ’s exterior spaces before moving to the interior furnishings of her palaces, the material adornment of the royal body, an examination of AnnaÂ’s visual persona and a discussion of AnnaÂ’s performance of extraordinary rituals that follow her life cycle. Underpinned by a wealth of new archival research, the book provides a richer understanding of the breadth of AnnaÂ’s interests and the meanings generated by her actions, associations and possessions.
