A drawing of Mrs. Bartley as Katherine refusing to accept Wolsey as her judge.

Katherine’s lines to Wolsey are captured in a drawing of Ellen Terry’s performance.
-
Katherine uses the personal pronoun here to discuss her emotional reaction to the situation, suggesting that the divorce touches her personally; however, in the following line she remembers her status as a queen and employs the royal we.
-
The question of Katherine’s identity becomes important in this passage because she has lived as a queen for over twenty years. With Henry’s attempt to negate Katherine’s understanding of herself as a wife and queen, she shifts her association from her husband to her father (see the next line). In doing so she names herself a “daughter of a king,” something that Henry can’t take away. Even if the title of queen is removed, she is still the daughter of a king and therefore behaves accordingly: rather than crying, she fights.

Great idea! I just added a wiki, which will allow for multiple editors and also allow someone to view the history to see what has been changed.

The way the wiki plugin worked, a person had to be logged in to the site to edit (which would be fine if this was a class project because the students would have access). It is fixed now and anyone should be able to access the wiki transcription. Thanks!

Very interesting project!

I’m not seeing the “Edit” button. If we have time during the SAA, would you take a moment to show me how to upload a transcription? (I’m also testing the comment feature by leaving this request.)

Could you add a text box where visitors might collaborate to produce a transcription of the letter (for those wishing to practice transcriptions, and for those less able to read secretary hand)?

Katherine appealed to Rome in 1529, but later withdrew her request.
