William Cecil, 1st baron of Burghley was the closest advisor of English queen Elizabeth I. from house of Tudor. However, this is not only role of William Cecil at the Elizabethan court and it is not the only role, which we can identify with analysis of British early modern age primary sources. How did the British early modern age primary sources depict first Baron of Burghley and saved his legacy for the next generation? The answer for this question is the purpose of this research.

The essay surveys representations of rape in selected Shakespeare’s works. The subject fascinated Shakespeare throughout his career. It appeared for the first time in his early narrative poem “The rape of Lucrece” and in one of his first tragedies “Titus Andronicus”. Though his later works, unlike these two, do not represent sexual assaults upon women graphically, rape is present in almost all his Roman and history plays (e.g. “Coriolanus”, “Henry V”, “Henry VI”), comedies (e.g. “A midsummer night’s dream”, “Measure for measure”) and romances (e.g. “Cymbeline”, “Pericles”, “The tempest”). Since in Shakespeare’s England the social structure prioritized male power, women were treated as men’s property. Any accomplished or attempted sexual violation of women polarized male legal and emotional bonding, and it also disrupted and/or empowered homosocial solidarity. A preliminary study of the presence and dramatic use of rape shows a distinctive evolution in Shakespeare’s attitude to this omnipresent subject. One reason for this change might be a shift in the legal classification of rape in Elizabethan England: from a crime against (male) property to a crime against an individual.

Edmund Campion (1540-1581) was a Jesuit priest and fellow of St. John’s College in Oxford, who was, first and foremost, most famed in his time for his extraordinary rhetorical skills. Today, a glimpse of the exceptional oratorical skills of the man can be provided by books and very rare copies of which can be found in Poland’s libraries. This attests to the exceptional Polish interest in Campion’s works throughout the centuries. This article presents the partial results of original research findings in an area often neglected by English and Polish literary historians. It aims to provide a descriptive survey of Campion’s rare books which can be found in selected libraries in Poland. By employing methodology drawn from the disciplines of History of the Book and Philology, it is hoped that the reader can be thus more acquainted with the existence of the rare books found in Polish libraries and thus equip him with a better and deeper appreciation of the unique cultural and historical value of the rare books in Polish library holdings. The article begins by briefly describing the history of the provenance of some of the Campion rare books which we have today thanks to the bibliophile and collection initiatives of some of Poland’s eminent statesmen such as Tadeusz Czacki and Adam Kazimierz Czartoryski. This is then followed by a brief history of Campion and his times. Particular emphasis shall be made on the history of the printing of “Rationes Decem,” as it was printed secretly. Finally, a brief description of the relveant rare books, that is translations and later editions of the “Rationes” shall be briefly described. The wide interest, as best illustrated by Skarga’s mentioning of the text or the Pisecius’ reply, in the “Rationes” shall also be discussed as it testifies to the wide interest that the person of Campion and his text enjoyed in the times of the Polish Commonwealth.

This study presents a literary picture of the Turks, Moors and renegades in the Elizabethan and early Stuart theatre. The depiction of these figures also provides an insight into the exotic and secret world of the Mediterranean and the adjoining lands under the rule of Islam. Questions of the religious coexistence of Muslims and Christians, conversion from one faith to another and mutual relations between England and the Ottoman Empire create a mosaic of contradictory perceptions of Turkish and Moorish characters who figure in Elizabethan and early Jacobean dramatic works.

In the years 1581 – 1603, the Elizabethan government imposed strict rules of printing censorship by controlling the printing industry and circulation of books written by English Recusants, hence not in consonance with the political views of the government in power. Printing and circulation of these books was made possible in other countries and still available in libraries in Kraków, thanks to eighteenth and nineteenth century Polish bibliophiles. This article attempts at providing a survey of the rare books available in Kraków by describing the provenance of selected sixteenth century books. Thanks to the presence of these books in Kraków’s libraries we are able therefore to reconstruct and complete this missing chapter in the history of sixteenth century Elizabethan book publication and circulation.

W latach 1581 – 1603, rząd Królowej Elżbiety I wprowadził surową cenzurę nad działalnością drukarską, kontrolując nie tylko całe przedsiębiorstwo drukarskie, ale również obieg druków, ograniczając w ten sposób druki niezgodne z panującą polityką rządzącego. Natomiast druk i obieg książek zakazanych w Anglii był możliwy w innych państwach, jak i w dawnej Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej, a wymownym dowodem na to jest fakt, że książki do dziś są dostępne w bibliotekach krakowskich, dzięki osiemnastowiecznym i dziewiętnastowiecznym bibliofilom. Artykuł ten próbuje opisać starodruki angielskich rekuzantów znajdujących się w różnych krakowskich bibliotekach poprzez opisywanie proweniencji wybranych starodruków. Dzięki istnieniu tych książek, można dzisiaj zrekonstruować oraz uzupełnić ten brakujący rozdział w historii drukarstwa i obiegu książek w szesnastowiecznej Anglii.

Roman Catholic Church in England during the reign of Elizabeth I, Queen Elizabeth I wanted to build a stable, peaceful nation with a strong government, free from the influence of foreign powers in matters of the church and the state. To realise this vision it was necessary to reach a new religious settlement that was as inclusive as possible. Changes needed to be introduced with a minimum of confrontation in order to overcome fear and suspicion at home and abroad. The choice of state religion would have political consequences, whatever the decision. Choosing to remain Catholic would surrender power to Rome and ally England with other Catholic states, such as France and Spain. Returning to Protestantism would align England with the Dutch, its main trading partner, but risked antagonising Spain, the most powerful nation in the world. Moving over to Protestantism also risked striking fear among England’s Catholics due to the risk of persecution.
