During the Commonwealth period, manuscript circulation networks continued to disseminate texts although at a lesser level than in the 1620s. Some were formed prior to the war at the Universities or Inns of Court, others were based on family or geography, and some had international reach. Samuel Hartlib’s extensive correspondence network circulated information between England and the Continent, while informal networks of friends and family likewise sustained communications. Catholic families had well-developed networks for circulating manuscripts, books, and people. Others such as Katherine Philips in Wales developed networks of literary friends. Thomas Stanley supported numerous friends and family, including Andrew Marvell and Robert Herrick, as they engaged on translation projects and collected their poems for publication.

Inns Of Court

Wenn frühneuzeitliche Höfe, wie von Zeitgenossen immer wieder behauptet, nach Art einer Bühne funktionieren, dann liegt es nahe, höfisches Leben nach Praktiken des Sehens und Gesehen-Werdens, der Beobachtung, der Überwachung, des Zuschauens zu befragen. Während das höfische lch durch Prozesse formierenden Sehens entsteht, kann auch der Hof selbst, als Ort der Macht, als Produkt des koniglichen Blicks beschrieben werden. Der Band widmet sich den visuellen Praktiken an frühneuzeitlichen Höfen und untersucht die Formen und Funktionen sowie die Produktivität des Zuschauerblicks am elisabethanischen Hof. Im Zentrum der Analysen stehen Blickregim?es und Raumordnung während koniglicher "Progresses", visuelle Strategien höfischer Theaterproduktionen, die formative Wirkung des sozialen Sehens bei der Erziehung junger Männer an den Inns of Court sowie der Blick der Höflinge und Hofdamen auf die Königin beim Speisen und beim Tanz.

These notes on thirty-six judges and chancellors, prompted by memory of my own requirements fifty years ago, were prepared for distribution on stencilled sheets to the students attending my lectures on legal history at the Inns of Court. My aim was to provide both indications of the principal achievements of each of the lawyers named, and also references to readily accessible sources of further knowledge.The editor of this journal has kindly suggested that it would be useful to its readers to have my notes available in print.It is not nearly as difficult as it used to be for beginners to find out about the great legal figures of the past. Sir William Holdsworth, Vinerian professor at Oxford from 1922 to 1944, placed all lawyers in his debt by his book, Some Makers of English Law, published in 1938. It was based on the Tagore lectures which he had given in Calcutta.Sir Percy Winfield, Rouse Ball professor at Cambridge from 1926 to 1943, gave detailed information as to the principal law books of the past and their editions in his manual The Chief Sources of English Legal History (1925) based on lectures given at the Harvard Law School. Twenty-four of my judges and chancellors have entries in his book as authors.By far the most numerous of my references are to Holdsworth's monumental History of English Law, in thirteen volumes, cited as H.E.L. The other works most referred to are The Dictionary of National Biography cited as D.N.B.; Fourteen English Judges (1926) by the first Earl of Birkenhead, L.C. 1919–1922; and The Victorian Chancellors (1908) by J. B. Atlay.
