Gender, Family, and Politics: The Howard Women, 1485-1558

Nicola Clark (Associate Lecturer; Visiting Tutor and Lecturer, Associate Lecturer; Visiting Tutor and Lecturer, University of Chichester; Royal Holloway, University of London)

Gender, Family, and Politics is the first full-length, gender-inclusive study of the Howard family, one of the pre-eminent families of early-modern Britain. Most of the existing scholarship on this aristocratic dynasty’s political operation during the first half of the sixteenth-century centres on the male family members, and studies of the women of the early-modern period tends to focus on class or geographical location. Nicola Clark, however, places women and the question of kinship in centre-stage, arguing that this is necessary to understand the complexity of the early modern dynasty. A nuanced understanding of women’s agency, dynastic identity, and politics allows us to more fully understand the political, social, religious, and cultural history of early-modern Britain.
