{"product_id":"9783899715385","title":"Poetry, Politics and Promises of Empire","description":"This interdisciplinary study examines the poetic and political representation of the Palatine Marriage in London in 1613 by analysing the vast number of English and Neo-Latin festive \/ nuptial poetry and prose written on the occasion of the marriage of Count Palatine Frederick V (1596–1632) and Princess Elizabeth Stuart (1596–1662), stylised and represented as heroes and paragon figures of Protestant Europe. Taking a literary and cultural studies approach, the study explores courtly representational modes used to convey the propagandist and prophetic messages of the marriage, suggesting that the nuptial union follows a heav­enly plan and fulfils the hopes of the formation of a pan-Prot­estant empire and a future bulwark against the imminent threats of Catholic Habsburg. In this respect the study aims to provide an alternative perspective on Britain, Europe and militant pan-Protestantism.","brand":"Gazelle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65442281161053,"sku":null,"price":64.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/978-3-89971-538-5.jpg?v=1789133163","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9783899715385","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
