Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Tudor Networks of Power is the product of a groundbreaking collaboration between an early modern book historian and a physicist specializing in complex networks. Together they have reconstructed and computationally analysed the networks of intelligence, diplomacy, and political influence across a century of Tudor history (1509-1603), based on the British State Papers.The 130,000 letters that survive in the State Papers from the Tudorperiod provide crucial information about the textual organization of the social network centred on the Tudor government. Whole libraries have been written using this archive, but until now nobody has had accessto the macroscopic tools that allow us to ask questions such as: What are the reasons for the structure of the Tudor government's intelligence network? What was it geographical reach and coverage? Can we use network data to show patterns of surveillance? What role did women play in these government networks? And what biases are there in the data?The authors employ methods from the field of network science, translating key concepts and approaches into a language accessibleto literary scholars and historians, and illustrating them with examples drawn from this fantastically rich archive. Each chapter is the product of a set of thematically organized 'experiments', whichshow how particular methods can help to ask and answer research questions specific to the State Papers archive, but also have applications for other large bodies of humanities data. The fundamental aim of this book, therefore, is not merely to provide an innovative perspective on Tudor politics; it also aspires to introduce an entirely new audience to the methods and applications of network science, and to suggest the suitability of these methods for a range of humanistic inquiry.

Near Fine Condition Book, in a largely unread condition, binding is nice and tight, pages clean and bright. Near Fine Unclipped Dust Jacket, minor / slight edge wear to the top leading edge, otherwise flawless. Tudor Networks of Power (2023) by Ruth Ahnert and Sebastian E. Ahnert is a study of how power, information, diplomacy, espionage, and influence operated across Tudor England between 1509 and 1603. Rather than focusing on a single monarch or political event, it reconstructs the vast communication networks that connected the Tudor state. The authors take an unusual approach. Ruth Ahnert is a Tudor historian and literary scholar, while Sebastian Ahnert is a physicist specialising in network science. Together they analysed over 130,000 surviving letters from the British State Papers and mapped the connections among more than 20,000 individuals, creating a large-scale picture of how information moved through Tudor government and society. Some of the questions the book explores include: • Who were the key brokers of information in Tudor government? • How extensive were England's diplomatic and intelligence networks? • How did surveillance and information gathering function? • What roles did women play as intermediaries, petitioners, and influencers? • Which people sat at the centre of communication networks, and which operated at the margins.…
