This title was first published in 2001. For the English people, the
image of the monarchy is deeply bound up with the idea of
nationhood. This book surveys aspects of England's royal heritage
dialogue from the late middle ages to the 19th century. It
concentrates on monumental sculpted portraits because that was the
way in which the image of the monarchy was customarily presented in
the most immediate and permanent form at large scale in the public
arena. The aim of such memorials was to consolidate and commemorate
shared loyalties and beliefs, focusing on the monarchs. They were
sometimes protected by railings, more often than just by their
talismanic value. There was widespread resistance to the idea that
Oliver Cromwell should be commemorated by public memorial. The
English generally remained uncomfortable with the idea of
republicanism. The monarchial government of the middle ages,
thought to be sanctioned by God, was very different from the
figurehead the monarchy has become.
