Resumo: Richard Topcliffe (1531–1604) was the most infamous torturer of Elizabethan England. He was also a professional reader. Historians of the book are interested in how repressive regimes read the books of their enemies. This essay identifies a number of books that contain Topcliffe’s marginalia and have not previously been studied by scholars. It argues that Topcliffe’s reading was forensic in nature, and was utilized directly by the Elizabethan regime in its campaign against Catholicism. This investigation reveals the connection between racking and reading, and demonstrates the ways in which Topcliffe’s reading legitimated state-authorized violence.

Historiadores do livro se interessam sobre a maneira como regimes repressivos leram os livros de seus inimigos. Este ensaio identifica um conjunto de livros que contêm anotações marginais feitas por Topcliffe e que ainda não foram estudados previamente. Aqui, argumento que a leitura de Topcliffe era de natureza forense, e foi diretamente utilizada pelo regime elisabetano em sua campanha contra o catolicismo. Esta investigação revela a conexão entre ler e torturar, e demonstra os modos pelos quais a leitura que Topcliffe fazia dos livros que recebia legitimava formas de violência autorizadas pelo Estado.Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade de Brasília (PPGHIS/UnB)2024-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/article/view/4705410.26512/rhh.v10i19.47054History, histories; Vol. 10 No. 19 (2022): Revista Histórias, Histórias; 158-207história, histórias; Vol. 10 Núm. 19 (2022): Revista Histórias, Histórias; 158-207Histoire, histoires; Vol. 10 No. 19 (2022): Revista Histórias, Histórias; 158-207Storia, storie; V. 10 N. 19 (2022): Revista Histórias, Histórias; 158-207História, histórias; v. 10 n. 19 (2022): Revista Histórias, Histórias; 158-2072318-172910.26512/rhh.v10i19reponame:História, Históriasinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/article/view/47054/39859Copyright (c) 2023 História, históriashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRankin, MarkGouveia de Lima Borges, Rebeca Mylena2024-03-29T14:35:22Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/47054Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hhPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/oaihistoriahistorias1@gmail.com||editorchefe.tempo@gmail.com||portaldeperiodicos@bce.unb.br2318-17292318-1729opendoar:2024-03-29T14:35:22História, Histórias - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
