This article considers the material culture associated with Edward and contributes to an understanding of his fate and how it was viewed in the reigns of Richard III, Henry VII, and beyond. In stark contrast to the experience of other elite figures in the period, Edward's memory was not promoted and supported through any of the potential lieux de mémoire which might have been preserved, created, or adapted for the purpose. The decades to the middle of the sixteenth century saw little if anything by way of an emerging tradition of visual presentations of the king. There was no indication of the emergence of physical locations in which his memory might be cultivated, and textual references remain sparse. A previously overlooked reference to Edward's chain, in the possession of the Capell family early in the sixteenth century, illustrates the remarkably limited interest in Edward as a personality and in his fate in the years after his disappearance. And while there is a clear possibility that the chain came to the Capell family in some neutral way, as the king's property was distributed in the aftermath of Edward's disappearance, there is also the possibility that it came as a result of his murder – and through the Capells’ connection with the alleged murderer, Sir James Tyrell.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"109 388","pages":"445-460"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.13430","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142762225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By locating Ralegh within this tradition, the article provides a new critical framework for examining his dual identification with both the military and scholarly spheres. After discussing how the soldier-scholar figure is indebted to the early modern intellectualisation of the art of war as an object of humanist discourse, this article examines how Ralegh adopts this figure as a means to seek preferment at court, beginning in the mid-1590s following his fall from royal favour. Focusing on three distinct groups of naval writings, it argues that Ralegh positioned himself as an expert in the art of war by sea as a means of effacing differences in social status between himself and his contemporaries at court. It discusses his relationship with contemporary soldier-scholars—including Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Robert Devereux, earl of Essex, and Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland—and demonstrates how Ralegh's expertise in naval matters combined personal experience, first-hand information from well-travelled mariners and extensive reading in classical and early modern military science.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"109 388","pages":"461-487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.13423","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142762603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article seeks to help redress this gap by drawing upon a range of English and French sources to investigate how British captives on parole experienced displacement in Napoleonic France during up to eleven years of their lives, between 1803 and 1814. The multifaceted relations that prisoners developed with residents and fellow captives offer important nuances for our understanding of Franco-British relations during the period. They also provide an insight into how war captivity formed a ‘contact zone’ amidst the conflict. Through this case study, the article highlights that the notion of ‘contact zone’ can provide a helpful framework to further conceptualise histories of prisoner of war experience, even beyond the Napoleonic Wars.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"109 388","pages":"488-520"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.13427","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142762836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, what can we learn about memory formation and transmission from the rich histories of public exhibition and personal recollection gathered across the last hundred years? Second, how have the practices and politics of First World War remembering been changed by the hundredth anniversary?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The answers provide an engaging divergence. In Roper's account, there is a continual circulation between the personal, family and local, communal memory, and wider commemorative practices. In contrast, Cornish and Saunders stress the importance of the public realm, and the revealing intersection of historical research, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, and politics. &lt;i&gt;Curating the Great War&lt;/i&gt; is particularly engaged with the practices of museology, the materialities of conflict understood through remnants and sites, with the engagement of publics, audiences, and heritage authorities in making relevant versions of the past. Roper's study, &lt;i&gt;Afterlives of War&lt;/i&gt;, is a more intimate affair. It is an ethnographic, sociological, and psychological inquiry into the nature of past making as it is experienced by descendants living with the long-term consequences of war. Roper deftly handles these personal aspects of engagement with the past. &lt;i&gt;Afterlives of War&lt;/i&gt; is an absorbing, original, and persuasive meditation on ‘memory in the aftermath’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cornish and Saunders organise their edited collection, &lt;i&gt;Curating the War&lt;/i&gt;, around three central themes. ‘Museums, Identities and the Politics of Memory’ covers First World War museology from the cessation of hostilities to the centenary. This is not a comprehensive account, but it covers a range of institutions, including some of the major nation state remembrance sites such as the Berlin Zeughaus, and the more recent Historial de la Grande Guerre in Péronne. Smaller local institutions also feature, such as the Priest's House Museum and Gardens in Wimborne, Dorset. Two chapters in the collection cover the history of the Imperial War Museum, during the Second World War, and during the fiftieth anniversary commemorations of 1964–8. A second section on ‘Museums and Materialities’ explores varied locations and approaches to archaeological and remembrance sites, for example, the extensively preserved heritage and traces of the Soča/Isonzo Front of 1915–17. A reflection on the confrontation fought out between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces across an unusually high, rocky landscape that today is mostly in Slovenia.

It contends that despite taking place nearly 30 years apart, there were striking similarities between British policy at the end of apartheid and in the era of decolonisation, particularly the efforts to build relations with moderate nationalists in an effort to maintain long-term influence. While KaNgwane was a small territory lacking in material resources, Mabuza, as a moderate Black leader working within the law to challenge apartheid, took on greater importance in the minds of British policymakers seeking a peaceful transfer of power in South Africa. This was helped by Mabuza's ability to maintain relations with a diverse range of important political actors including the South African government, KwaZulu Chief Minister Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and the African National Congress in exile. Additionally, KaNgwane's close proximity to Mozambique, which at the time was in the midst of a civil war, also gave the territory greater prominence. This article will highlight how Mabuza used these interconnecting factors to demonstrate his value as an important ‘interlocutor’ for Britain, which in turn saw him extract important resources for both the KaNgwane people and his own family, as well as a degree of protection from interference by the South African government.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"109 388","pages":"521-550"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.13418","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on quantitative and qualitative sources, this article identifies four major waves of popular mobilisation that paved the way for the introduction and expansion of political rights. The first wave of popular protest began in the 1830s and culminated in 1848 with the fall of absolutism and the transition to constitutional monarchy. The next protest wave from 1885 to 1887 arose from the so-called ‘constitutional struggle’ and mobilised hundreds of thousands of ordinary Danes and contributed to the nationalisation and parliamentarisation of the political system. The third wave unfolded around the end of the Second World War, while the hitherto last wave of popular struggle erupted in 1968 with the youth rebellion. The analysis shows that ‘democracy’ was the central issue of contention in all four protest waves and supports the main thesis that periods of intense interaction between popular protest and the state have had a decisive formative influence on the genesis and further development of Danish democracy.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"109 386-387","pages":"280-307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142123178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
