Remembering Wolsey seeks to contribute to our understanding of
historical memory and memorialization by examining in detail the
commemoration and representation of the life of Thomas Wolsey, the
sixteenth-century cardinal, papal legate, and lord chancellor of
England. Hornbeck surveys a wide range of representations of
Cardinal Wolsey, from those contemporary with his death to recent
mass-market appearances on television and historical fiction, to go
beyond previous scholarship that has examined Wolsey only in an
early modern context. Remembering Wolsey contributes significantly
to the ongoing reimagining of English church history in the years
prior to the Reformation. Surveying chronicle accounts, pamphlets,
plays, poems, historical fictions, works of historical scholarship,
civic pageants and monuments, films, and television programs, the
book shows how an extended sequence of authors have told widely
varying stories about Wolsey's life, often through the lens of
their own religious and ideological commitments and/or in response
to the pressing concerns of their times.
