- W2012178133 abstract "Jenni Nuttall's book argues that ‘Lancastrian texts do not fall easily into a simple duality of criticism or propaganda. Instead what we see is a fluid and evolving conversation about the respective roles … of a king and his subjects, … a conversation conducted in terms which the Crown itself had put forward’ (p. 130). What the book demonstrates is that the language and rationale deployed by the Lancastrians to justify the deposition of Richard II would come back to haunt them, especially as dissatisfactions with the new regime mounted. These accusations of extravagance, tyranny, favouritism, and irresponsibility in government were easily readdressed to the new king and his government—and once unleashed, became a political Pandora's box of trouble, infinitely recyclable against their creators. The first chapter, ‘Stereotyping Richard and the Ricardian familia’, sets out these accusations under the heading of ‘Richard's Notorious Flaws’ (called ‘demerita notoria’ in contemporary sources). Some of the sub-headings of the first and second chapters (the latter entitled ‘The Dissemination of the Ricardian Stereotype’) epitomise these: ‘Richard as Tyrant’, ‘Youth versus Maturity’, ‘Responses to Truthtellers’, ‘Fabricating Ricardian Luxury’, and so forth. While some of these don't occur in the sources verbatim (for instance, the word ‘tyrant’ does not itself appear), Nuttall usefully draws on contemporary texts, such as the official Record and Process account of the deposition with its thirty-three articles against Richard, to extract these stereotypes. She shows how they are reflected both in poetry of the Deposition's historical moment, like Richard the Redeless, and then in slightly later poetry, such as Mum and the Sothsegger, or Hoccleve's Regiment of Princes, in which such stereotypes are recast in response to Lancastrian developments. The motif of poor treatment of truthtellers in royal courts, for example, a central feature of both Richard and Mum, or the motif of the evils of extravagant dress—the notorious long sleeves that ‘slode vppon the erthe’ (Richard 214), rendering courtiers useless in physical defence of the king, and requiring large amounts of credit to finance—are themes also taken up in the Prologue to Hoccleve's Regiment, as Nuttall shows: ‘The Old Man's long attack on abuses of dress (as well as Hoccleve's initial self-presentation … as [one] who places too much emphasis on appearance) is redolent of stereotyped representations of Richard and his court, but it expresses the current anxieties which motivated the Commons’ petitions for sumptuary legislation in 1402 and 1406’ (p. 68). Even though one always has to be careful about what kinds of claims one makes on the basis of stereotypes (which are, by their very nature, ubiquitous), this is a historically plausible reading of a recurrent motif in turn of the century poetry." @default.
