Resumen
L’analisi dell’Impeachment e del Bill of Attainder di Thomas Wentowrth Conte di Strafford ha attirato da tempo l’attenzione degli studiosi della prima modernità inglese. Il dibattito accademico sulla sorte di Wentworth ha compiutamente analizzato la retorica impiegata dal Conte al pari della cornice legale richiamata dalla prosecution. In questo articolo si analizzerà il dibattito a stampa sull’Impeachment e Attainder del conte avvenuto tra il 1640 e il 1641. In particolare l’articolo affronterà l’uso del passato che emergerà dalla pubblicazione dei discorsi parlamentari sul caso Strafford. Il processo al conte infatti non segna solo una nuova lettura della legislazione proditoria ma rivela la costruzione di un’identità fictional in grado di ridefinire i caratteri di uno dei principali ministri di Carlo I Stuart. Il processo al conte, inoltre, spinse la pubblicazione di vari pamphlet in cui ricomparivano una schiera di favoriti o ministri del re nella forma di fantasmi del passato. Ombre e spiriti del passato dunque circonderanno la vicenda del Conte di Strafford influenzandone la rappresentazione.
