The rhetoric of death: Scaffold confessions in early modern England
As part of the ritual of public execution in early modern England traitors were allowed to make a farewell address. This essay (1) looks at the genre of scaffold confessions, (2) examines forces that produced these confessions, and (3) traces the shift in emphasis of confessions from treason to martyrdom. Special attention is paid to confessions of Thomas Cromwell (1540) and Charles I (1649).
