multiple identities Mary II queenship

项目摘要

Mary II is arguably the least well-known of Britain's world-famous group of regnant queens-yet her situation is both interesting and unique, deserving of both greater academic research and public awareness. This project aims to explore Mary II's mutable and conflicted identity using documentary, visual and cultural evidence from her life, and through the study of key heritage sites connected with her, including Kensington and Hampton Court Palace (Historic Royal Palaces) and the Queen's House (Royal Museums Greenwich). The study of Mary's visual identity will include her extensive legacy in terms of painted portraits, reflecting her life's trajectory, which has never been assessed together or thoroughly evaluated (National Portrait Gallery). This study of Mary II will therefore bring together three heritage organisations under the REACH Consortium theme of 'Identities, Ideologies and Heritage Narratives'.Part of Mary's uniqueness stems from being part of Britain's only joint monarchy-yet that has also meant that being forever linked to her husband, as 'William and Mary', her own identity has been subsumed in her partnership and it has been assumed that her husband, as the 'front man' of the pair, was the only one who was engaged in significant (political) activity. Mary's unique path to the throne, by effectively usurping her father's crown, is also worthy of greater investigation-while narratives tend to focus on the political aspects of the Glorious Revolution, further scrutiny of the personal, familial and dynastic impact of this transition is needed. This again is deeply connected to issues of identity and ideology in terms of the way that Mary constructed her image, and was presented, as a Protestant heroine, despatched as bride to bolster the northern European Protestant alliance, before returning home to save Britain from the rule of her father and the fledgling Catholic dynasty he was creating with Mary of Modena. It will also be vital to investigate Mary's dynastic and national identities in order to understand how she represented herself as a foreign consort during her time in the Low Countries, and as native born queen regnant on her return to Britain, in order to avoid being alienated as foreign or 'other' during either period. While her time abroad exposed her to cultural Continental influences which can be seen in her architectural projects at Kensington, Hampton Court and Greenwich, and in her collections, it was important that she constructed her identity which would be perceived as that of a thoroughly Stuart and British regnant queen.This project will examine the construction of Mary's identity from her childhood onwards, looking at her early education and the expectation on her as a potential heiress. Her early years will also be explored with consideration of how her religious ideology was formed and how the impact of personal relationships, shaped her identity in the long term. By working with researchers at Het Loo, and the Royal Collection in The Netherlands the project will examine the formation of her identity as a foreign consort during her years in the Low Countries and assess the impact of Continental influences on her later cultural projects in Britain. The (re)construction and projection of her identity during her reign will be investigated using a wide range of material, from the output of the dynamic print culture of the period, to economic sources such as her privy purse accounts, to assessing her collections, her dress, and portraiture, as well as a consideration of her extensive architectural and garden projects at Kensington and Hampton Court, and the role she played in the shaping the royal palace site and gardens at Greenwich. By bringing together such a varied collection of sources, the project will be able to create a far clearer picture of Mary's life and reign, and her contribution to the new style monarchy of the late seventeenth century than has hitherto been achieved.

玛丽二世可以说是英国举世闻名的女王中最不为人所知的，但她的情况既有趣又独特，值得进行更多的学术研究和公众关注。该项目旨在利用玛丽二世生活中的纪录片、视觉和文化证据，并通过研究与她相关的关键遗产遗址，包括肯辛顿和汉普顿宫殿(历史上的皇家宫殿)和女王宫(格林威治皇家博物馆)，来探索玛丽二世多变而矛盾的身份。对玛丽视觉身份的研究将包括她在绘画肖像方面的广泛遗产，反映她的生活轨迹，这从未被一起评估或彻底评估(国家肖像画廊)。因此，这项关于玛丽二世的研究将把REACH联盟的三个遗产组织聚集在一起，主题为“身份、意识形态和遗产叙事”。玛丽的独特性部分源于她是英国唯一的联合君主制的一部分--但这也意味着她永远与她的丈夫联系在一起，她自己的身份被归入她的伙伴关系中，人们认为她的丈夫作为这对夫妇中的“主角”，是唯一参与重大(政治)活动的人。玛丽通过有效地篡夺父亲的王冠而获得王位的独特道路也值得更多的研究--虽然叙事往往集中在光荣革命的政治方面，但需要进一步审视这种过渡对个人、家庭和王朝的影响。这再次与身份和意识形态问题密切相关，玛丽构建自己的形象，作为一个新教女英雄，被派遣作为新娘支持北欧新教联盟，然后回国将英国从她父亲的统治和他与摩德纳的玛丽建立的羽翼未丰的天主教王朝中拯救出来。调查玛丽的王朝身份和民族身份也是至关重要的，这样才能了解她在低地国家期间是如何将自己描绘成外国配偶的，以及她回到英国后是如何将自己描绘成土生土长的摄政女王的，以避免在这两个时期被疏远为外国人或其他人。虽然她在国外的时间让她接触到了大陆文化的影响，这可以在她在肯辛顿、汉普顿宫廷和格林威治的建筑项目中看到，在她的收藏品中也可以看到，但重要的是她构建了自己的身份，这将被视为一个彻底的斯图尔特和英国统治女王。这个项目将考察玛丽从童年开始的身份构建，看看她的早期教育和对她作为潜在继承人的期望。她的早年也将被考虑她的宗教思想是如何形成的，以及个人关系的影响是如何长期塑造她的身份的。通过与Het Loo和荷兰皇家收藏的研究人员合作，该项目将研究她在低地国家的外国配偶身份的形成，并评估大陆影响对她后来在英国的文化项目的影响。对她在位期间身份的(重新)构建和投射将使用一系列材料进行调查，从那个时期动态印刷文化的输出，到她的私密钱包账户等经济来源，到评估她的收藏品、她的服装和肖像，以及她在肯辛顿和汉普顿宫廷的广泛建筑和花园项目，以及她在塑造格林威治王宫遗址和花园中所扮演的角色。通过汇集如此多样化的资料，该项目将能够对玛丽的生活和统治，以及她对17世纪末新风格君主制的贡献，比迄今所取得的成就更加清晰。
