During the late twentieth century, scholars became interested in the ways in which early modern England adapted to the Reformation and how change was represented in popular culture. In the last fifteen years, there has been a particular focus on how Protestantism affected the relationship between the living and the dead. In 2000, for example, Ralph Houlbrooke’s study Death, Religion, and the Family in England, 1480-1750 identified a failure on the part of the post-Reformation church to replace old funerary customs with new, yet two years later in Beliefs and the Dead in Reformation England, Peter Marshall argued persuasively that the Reformation engendered a ‘cultural transformation’ in the understanding of both death and the dead. By 2009, Scott Newstok’s Quoting Death in Early Modern England described a paradox in which a Protestant nation that scorned Catholic death rituals became engrossed in commemorating its own dead through poetic memorialisation. This article surveys 21st century historiographical debates in order to contextualise women’s verse epitaphs during the sixteenth century. In particular, it looks to the broadside literature that was the epitome of cheap print as a means of reflecting popular religious attitudes. It shows how several verse epitaphs of prominent women in Tudor society, such as William Elderton’s A proper new balad in praise of my ladie marques (1569), highlight issues of continuity and change in religious beliefs surrounding the memorialisation of pious women and the role of the supernatural.

诗歌墓志铭和英国改革中的女性纪念活动

在20世纪后期，学者们对现代近代英格兰适应宗教改革的方式以及大众文化中变化的体现方式产生了兴趣。在过去的十五年中，人们特别关注新教如何影响生与死之间的关系。例如，在2000年，拉尔夫·霍尔布鲁克（Ralph Houlbrooke）的研究《死亡，宗教和家庭在英国，1480-1750年》确定了改革后教会未能用新的，但是两年后的《信仰》和死于宗教改革英国，彼得·马歇尔有说服力地指出，宗教改革导致人们对死者和死者的理解发生了“文化转变”。到2009年，斯科特·纽斯托克（Scott Newstok）在《近代英格兰早期的行尸走肉》中描述了一个悖论，在该悖论中，一个蔑视天主教死亡仪式的新教国家全神贯注地通过诗意的纪念活动来纪念自己的死者。本文调查了21世纪的史学辩论，以期将16世纪妇女的墓志铭文作为背景语境。尤其是，在廉价印刷品的缩影中，宽泛的文献被视为反映流行宗教态度的一种手段。它显示了都铎王朝社会中几位杰出女性的诗歌墓志铭，例如威廉·埃尔德顿（William Elderton）的《赞美我的夫人的恰当新ba头》（1569年），突出了围绕虔诚女性的纪念活动以及宗教信仰的宗教信仰的连续性和变化问题。超自然的。
