1	John Wilson’s Psalterium carolinum (London, 1657): a critical edition and commentary Reagan, Mark 01 May 2017 (has links) English composer and musician John Wilson (1595-1674) collaborated with poet Thomas Stanley in publishing Psalterium Carolinum (London, 1657). The musical settings in the collection commemorate the legacy of King Charles I who was executed for treason in January 1649. The Psalterium was part of a Royalist propaganda effort aimed at positively refashioning the dead king’s reputation. The present essay is a critical musical edition and commentary on this work. The edition is based upon microfilm copies of the 1657 edition of the Psalterium housed in the British Library in London. The edition includes an editorial policy explaining the decisions made in creating the edition, and a critical report that records particular corrections to the original in terms of pitch, rhythm and text treatment. The accompanying commentary provides a biographical sketch of John Wilson, explains his importance as performer and composer, and compares the style and scoring of the Psalterium to other contemporary genres. Most significantly, the commentary identifies the Psalterium as a collection of psalm-like pieces and connects it directly to the ongoing propaganda campaign that sought to restore Charles I’s legacy and prompt a national initiative for the restoration of the English crown.

2	Eikon Basilike (1649) : héroïsme royal et mises en récit de l'histoire / Eikon Basilike (1649) : royal heroism and the narratives of history Brun Chaise, Vanessa 01 December 2018 (has links) Le but de ce projet est d'étudier la mise en récit de l'exécution du roi d'Angleterre Charles Ier (1649), en prenant pour point de départ un texte publié la même année, au moment même de la mort du roi, Eikon Basilike. Ce texte singulier se présente à l'origine comme une autobiographie spirituelle du roi, mais les nombreuses éditions, adaptations, ou traductions dont il fait l'objet au cours du XVIIe siècle, en Angleterre et dans le reste de l'Europe, transforment peu à peu cette publication, par des ajouts successifs d'auteurs divers, des commentaires, en une mise en récit singulière du discours politique et religieux aussi bien que de la représentation du roi, c'est-à-dire « l'image royale », ou eikon basilike. C'est cette « mise en récit » qui est l'objet principal de la recherche : comment se raconte l'histoire royale à travers ces diverses publications ? L’enjeu de l’étude est de comprendre comment l’image du roi s’adapte face à 1649 et ce que cette transformation nous révèle sur la société anglaise de la première modernité. Le projet de thèse entend étudier l'écriture, la réception, et l'impact de ce texte sur la représentation du roi et de la Monarchie. / The aim of the project is to study the representations of King Charles I (1649), starting with a book published a few days after his execution, Eikon Basilike. First, this text seems to be a spiritual autobiography of the king, but all the editions, translations and reviews, published in the seventeenth century in England and in the rest of Europe, transformed the view we had on this text. It became a representation of the political and religious problems of that time and a representation of the king, that is to say 'the royal portrait', or Eikon Basilike. It is this representation which is to be studied here: how the Royal history is told through these numerous publications? The purpose of this work is to understand how the king’s image is changing in order to respond to 1649, and to see what those changes reveal about the Early Modern English society. The aim is to study the writing, the reading and the impact of this text on the representation of the king and of the Monarchy.
