- Double-weighted statement
- The monograph (pp. xii + 276; 95,000 words) provides the first extensive linguistic exploration of the vernacular texts of the Tudor monarchy, drawing on a range of primary materials (correspondence, proclamations, historical chronicles) and using a combination of methods (corpus linguistics, multimodal discourse analysis) to investigate how royal power was constituted through linguistic and material forms. It draws together standalone topics to illustrate how the accumulative effect of royal communication practices perpetuated the Tudor claim to the English throne. The argument engages with topics that cut across linguistics, literary and historical disciplines.
