Life in Tudor England | Not Just the Tudors

- What was life really like in Tudor England? This was a society where monarchy was under strain, the church was in crisis, where contending with war, rebellion, plague and poverty was a fact of daily life. Yet it was also an age rich in ideas and ideals, where women asserted their agency and found a literary voice.
In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Dr. Lucy Wooding, who has written a bold new history of the brilliant, conflicted, visionary world of Tudor England, presenting a starkly different picture of this famous era from the one we thought we know.
The Senior Producer was Elena Guthrie. It was edited and produced by Rob Weinberg.
This is very good, thank you both
How wonderful! Great talk and I look forward to reading this new perspective on the Tudors. Thank you!
I love this
Very interesting! I am really looking forward to getting a copy and reading this book!
Excellent content. Sounds like a very balanced unbiased account
Good to hear more about the Plantagenet influences which are too often overlooked when discussing the Tudors. It is often forgotten that Henry VIII was a grandson of Edward IV, the physical resemblance and stature are clear, as with his brother Arthur. Edward IVs line did not end in the War of the Roses, it continued through the Tudors.
Then it.continued through the Stuarts courtesy of Henry V111ths sister Margaret who married James 1Vth of Scotland. Again down to the Hanovarians through James 1st of Englands daughter Elizabeth who married Frederick of Bohemia, (The Winter King) whose daughter Sophia married The Elector of Hanover. Their son became George 1st of England.
I love Suzanne Lipscomb
Love this so much! Thank you
One thing I really appreciate about this: I have long hated the supposedly feminist concept of "women's history". People, since humans are first thought to have existed, live alongside each other (for better or worse.) Human history is the story of All of them, intertwined and dealing with one another. It belittles a woman from history to pull her out of her context and imagine she needs to be looked at as if the male people she interacted with "take away" from her story. The people we interact with are a part of shaping our story. A woman, say Mary I since she is prominent in this podcast, is not marginalized if one admits that she interacted with men during her lifetime. Women don't need to be coddled by being "separated out of all of history" to have their stories told.
Thanks for coming to my talk 😆Great podcast!
I don’t think it’s that we are being coddled, quite the contrary. The formal recording of women’s existence, let alone their contribution to the human story has been woefully thin on the ground. What there has been has been written by men, and is largely misogynistic. For centuries, women have been viewed suspiciously and seen as gossipy/provocative/ full of sin/ possessed/ associated with witchcraft etc. We had no platform, capacity to defend ourselves. To redress this imbalance and enlighten us required a conscious effort and a specific approach. Our voice is finally being heard.
Feminism is about equality, that’s all.
I know this is late, but I'm very happy she brought up Henry's taste for war, or at least the glory of it (gaining territory, money, etc)
Love the content on this. It’s fascinating. I hate to be critical because you are both so brilliant, but the production value distracts from the content. The edits are a bit jarring and there is a lot of background noise. I just love hearing what you both have to say so much, but it is difficult with the other noises. I hope you will take this as constructive criticism, not unkind criticism.
The difficulties of a remote recording. If you open the transcript and read along it helps.
Tony Robinson ( great teacher) ❤
Thanks to the commenter who deplored the "women's history " thing. I have always been angered by it too as well as "women's literature " ❤
😍😍😍Susanna Lispcomb. As good as David Starkley and Tracy Borman 🎉🎉
So glad she brought up how important Catholicism was in early Tudor England - The Abbey's were Catholic; hence Westminister. Their beauty is beyond compare & disappearing from our landscape:(
Lovely narratortion applause
Is that picture just random? It’s the actual spitting image of my son? 😂😂
