Description: Dr Dickinson obtained her degrees from the Universities of Southampton and Bristol, where she began her postgraduate work as a medievalist before recognising the early modern period as her natural home. Janet is a co-convenor of the Tudor and Stuart Seminar at the Institute of Historical Research in London and a member of the Executive Committee of the Society for Court Studies. She recently served on the steering committee of the Lord Burghley 500 Foundation, celebrating the 500th anniversary of William Cecil’s birth. She is currently co-editing two volumes: ‘The Embodied Court’ and ‘Burghley at 500: Quincentennial Essays on William Cecil’. Her main research focus is on the Tudor nobility and the Tudor court and as such this is the starting point for her lecture on the extraordinary dynamic between Queen Elizabeth I and her chief minister William Cecil
