It demonstrates and explores how literary characterizations of Wolsey originate and develop, revealing the authors, editors, and playwrights who produced them and the readers and audiences who received them.

Schwartz-Leeper\nSchool of English Literature, Language and Linguistics\nUniversity of Sheffield\nMarch 2013\n\u000f\nAcknowledgements\nWhile all mistakes are of course my own, I certainly could not have completed this thesis without a great deal of help.  I would first like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Cathy Shrank, who introduced me to Wolsey and whose guidance and support throughout the PhD process has been invaluable.  I must also acknowledge the generous mentorship of Prof. Sylvia Adamson, who introduced me to the early modern world.  I would like to thank my examiners, Prof. Mike Pincombe (Newcastle) and Dr. Tom Rutter (Sheffield) for their supportive and insightful suggestions.  In addition, the advice of my secondary supervisor, Dr. Marcus Nevitt (Sheffield) has been very helpful, particularly during the viva process.\nFor essential advice, references, discussion, and support, I am also indebted to Prof. Tom Betteridge (Oxford Brookes), Prof. Greg Walker (Edinburgh), Prof. Scott Lucas (The Citadel), Prof. Goran Stanivukovic (Queen Mary’s University), Dr. Tom Lockwood (Birmingham), Dr. Zsolt Almási (PPKE BTE/PPCU) Dr. Matthew Woodcock (UEA), Dr. Stella Fletcher (Warwick), Dr. Liz Oakley-Brown (Lancaster), Prof. Steven May (Sheffield), Dr. Alan Bryson (Sheffield), Dr. Emma Rhatighan (Sheffield), Dr. Katariina Nara (Sheffield), the administrative staff at the School of Languages and Cultures (Sheffield), and the administrative staff at the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics (Sheffield).  In addition, the advice and sympathy of Dr. Sharon Schwartz (Columbia) has been of particular comfort.\nOn a personal note, I must thank Sally O’Halloran, Simon and Elenore Fisher, Leon Palmieri, Edward Smith, Laurence Peacock, Reza Taher, Adlai Lang, Victoria Van Hyning, Dr. Mel Evans (Birmingham), Christian Schneider, Filip Krajnik, and Shannon Kennedy, as well as all the residents of Jessop West Floor 3, past and present.  For their support, I would like to thank my family—David, Julia, Ian, and Hope Schwartz-Leeper, as well as Sarah Purdy and Murray Leeper—without whom I could not have started (much less finished) this project.  And finally, I am unequal to the task of expressing my gratitude to Dr. Rebecca Fisher (Warwick) for her erudite advice and crucial support, given so freely over so many hours.\nI would like to dedicate this thesis to Sidney and Doris Schwartz, who would, I hope, have been proud.\n\u000f\nNotes on Transcriptions\nThis thesis silently expands standard early modern contractions (‘Mr’ becomes ‘Master’), abbreviations (with the exception of the ampersand ‘&’), and archaic characters (thorn ‘þ’ becomes ‘th’).  Spelling and punctuation is reproduced as it appears in the source text, except where indicated by square brackets: [example].  In some quotes, text has been made bold or italicized to indicate editorial alterations or for analytical purposes, and has been indicated as such in each instance.  In the Appendices, some names and titles have been abbreviated in the interests of space: ‘W’ represents ‘Wolsey’, ‘H8’ represents ‘Henry VIII’, and ‘HRE’ represents ‘Holy Roman Emperor’.\n\u000f\nAbstract of the Thesis\nThis thesis considers a range of sixteenth-century literary texts in order to trace the evolution of the public image(s) of Thomas Cardinal Wolsey (c.1470-1530), Henry VIII’s chief minister from 1515 until 1529.  The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate and explore the genesis and subsequent evolution of literary characterizations of Wolsey.  This process in turn reveals much about the individual authors, editors, and playwrights who generated these images; the readers and audiences who received them; and the social, political, and religious events to which they responded and with which they interacted.
