Abstract

The article focuses on the role of the John Emmerson Collection in preserving texts and images related to Charles I, particularly elegies following his execution. Topics include the intersection of royalist sympathies with 17th-century elegiac poetry, the use of visual and textual materials to commemorate the king, and Emmerson's collecting practices as a means of constructing a memorial for the monarch.
