| description | This paper focuses on writing as a healing process to cure violence when it affects the body politic. A series of attempts against the lives of kings were planned and achieved, as in France in 1589 and 1610. The English authorities were aware that Queen Elizabeth herself was a potential target of similar projects and so they chose to use prints as a way to heal the body politic: narratives about the execution of regicides were thus published in order to publicise the recovery of the community as a whole. The case of Mary Queen of Scots’ execution is of momentous interest, in so far as it was construed both as a regicide and as necessary surgery aiming at severing one member from the body, so as to save the whole body. |
