Observing the rival status of Mary Stuart and Elizabeth Tudor as objects of royal panegyric across the confessional divide, Shell focuses her attention on two less well known cultural instances of vexed and tactically ambiguous loyalty, the Petrarchan verse of Elizabethan diplomat and Catholic poet Henry Constable, and the imprese designed by secular priest and emblematist Thomas Wright for the Earl of Essex's presentation at the 1595 Accession Day tilts. While midcentury emblematists Coustau, Aneau, and La Perriere endow the lutenist with civilizing eloquence, Alciato equates the difficulty of tuning many strings with that of governance, a challenge further reflected in the topos of the broken lute string in Holbein's 1533 painting, The Ambassadors. Adages culled from Plautus are included in several early editions, and that of the Italian-Hungarian humanist and emblematist Giovanni Sambuco (Ioannes Sambucus), produced in 1568, groups the sayings under such topics as marriage and the passions, aiming to support his claim for Plautus's moral wisdom in the face of those detractors who claimed that he preached immorality. |
