This essay discusses the reading records of Francis Russell, 1587–1641, later 4th Earl of Bedford. Drawing from a previously unstudied manuscript notebook from 1620 to 1622, the author demonstrates the importance of Russell's private archive at Woburn Abbey as an important repository for political, literary, and cultural history in the early Stuart age. The notebook evidences how a nobleman of Russell's wealth, stature, and influence prepared for political office, and more broadly, how he educated himself. The notebook contains a wide variety of texts, among them histories, sermons, poetry, political pamphlets, treatises, news, and gossip, much of which Russell brought to bear on the acute political Bohemian crisis then emerging, and on its consequences for domestic politics (for example, the 1621 Parliament). The notebook's contents also reveal more about early modern reading practice and the organization of knowledge and suggest the many networks of circulation through which Russell acquired his books, manuscript tracts, and oral information.

阅读危机:弗朗西斯·罗素的阅读记录与三十年战争的开端

这篇文章讨论了弗朗西斯·罗素(Francis Russell,1587–1641 年,即后来的第四代贝德福德伯爵)的阅读记录。作者根据 1620 年至 1622 年期间未曾研究过的手稿笔记本,展示了罗素在沃本修道院的私人档案作为斯图尔特时代早期政治、文学和文化历史的重要资料库的重要性。这本笔记本证明了罗素这样一位拥有财富、地位和影响力的贵族是如何为政治职位做准备的,更广泛地说,他是如何自学的。这本笔记本包含各种各样的文本,其中包括历史、布道、诗歌、政治小册子、论文、新闻和八卦,罗素将其中的大部分内容与当时出现的波西米亚政治危机及其对国内政治的影响联系起来(例如,1621 年议会)。笔记本'
