Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Wolsey was England's leading statesman, churchman and patron of the arts for a period of over fourteen years. In that time England played a greater role in European politics than she had done for a century or more; there were bold initiatives in domestic government; the church faced the call for reform and the challenge of heresy; and the influence of the Renaissance was felt strongly in many areas of English culture. In this fully-illustrated volume, eleven expert contributors assess Wolsey's role in all these developments, from his patronage of music, sculpture, stained glass, goldsmiths' work and domestic and collegiate architecture, through his handling of the church and the criticism it evoked, to his management of politics, central and local government, and foreign affairs. A general introduction sets the individual chapters in context by evaluating the whole range of Wolsey's ministerial responsibilities and achievements, and his part in the early English Renaissance. It also sets him in his proper context by comparing him in detail with other cardinal-ministers active in the European states of the day. In examining Wolsey's career in all its aspects - not least the cultivation of artistic magnificence which so struck his contemporaries - this volume provides a fuller and more balanced understanding of Wolsey's impact on early Tudor England and of his significance in a dramatic and controversial period of history.

Download or read book WOLSEY written by Glenn Richardson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-19 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a thematic and broadly chronological approach, Wolsey offers a fascinating insight into the life and legacy of a man who was responsible for building Henry VIII’s reputation as England’s most impressive king. The book reviews Thomas Wolsey’s record as the realm’s leading Churchman, Lord Chancellor and political patron and thereby demonstrates how and why Wolsey became central to Henry’s government for 20 years. By analysing Wolsey’s role in key events such as the Field of Cloth of Gold, the study highlights how significant Wolsey was in directing and conducting England’s foreign relations as the king’s most trusted advisor. Based on up-to-date research, Richardson not only newly appraises the circumstances of Wolsey’s fall but also challenges accusations of treason made against him. This study provides a new appreciation of Wolsey’s importance as a cultural and artistic patron, as well as a royal administrator and politician; roles which helped to bring both Henry VIII and England to the forefront of foreign relations in the early-sixteenth century. Presenting Wolsey in his contemporary and historiographical contexts more fully than any currently available study, Wolsey is perfect for students of Tudor England.

Book excerpt: Proud, greedy, corrupt and driven by overwhelming personal ambition. Such is the traditional image of Thomas Wolsey, Lord Chancellor, Archbishop of York, Bishop of Winchester, Abbot of St. Albans, Bishop if Tournai and Papal Legate. It is an image which Peter Gwyn examines, challenges and decisively overturns in this remarkable book. From exceedingly humble beginnings Wolsey rose to a pinnacle of power unsurpassed by any other British commoner. Peter Gwyn explores every aspect of the Cardinal's career - not least his relationship with Henry VIII - and sets it firmly in a vividly recreated Tudor world. The Wolsey who emerges is a man of prodigious energy and ability, a tireless dispenser of justice, an enlightened reformer wholly dedicated to his king and country - a man who has been consistently misrepresented and maligned for four-and-a-half centuries.

CHAPTER XII CONCLUSION The great Cardinal as a Churchman--A courtier's life--The higher qualities of the Churchman--His character bears examination--The greatest Churchman of his age--His "faults and failings"--His supposed illegitimate children--An examination of the evidence--Unlikely--Formulated by his enemies--The age tolerated Alexander VI.--No defence needed--Insufficient proof--Thomas Winter--Dorothy Clansey--Trading on Cromwell's feeling--The other side--Wolsey's great expiation--" The blessedness of being little"--" He died fearing God." I Have set before the reader a picture of the great Cardinal as a Churchman, and have drawn the details from the records of his work. I have shown him in the midst of a courtier's life still preserving the higher qualities of the Churchman. Even in this capacity his character, to use the words of Mr. Brewer, "need not apprehend an examination still more rigid and more dispassionate." Truth to say, the more Wolsey is studied in the setting of his own times, the greater every way does he appear. He stands head and shoulders above all his ecclesiastical contemporaries. A word as to "those faults and failings the least consistent with his ecclesiastical profession" to which Mr. Brewer refers. It is said that Wolsey left behind him two illegitimate children, a son and a daughter, "by one Lark's daughter," Shakespeare's "nut-brown maid." Going very carefully into the whole question, I must confess that I have been unable to come to any definite conclusion. If such a liaison did exist, it must have been about the years 1509-10; and I leave it to the reader to consider whether it is likely so cautious a man as Wolsey, even with the lax ideas of those days, would have so ventured his reputation at that...
