Why should a woman be allowed to rule with the same powers as a
king? Readers may be surprised to discover that the man who asks
this controversial question is none other than Queen Elizabeth's
favorite Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. On hand to provide
answers are statesman and poet Thomas Sackville, Lord Buckhurst;
and William Fleetwood, Recorder of London, who reports their 1575
conversation in "Itinerarium ad Windsor." The Name of a Queen
presents an annotated edition of "Itinerarium," plus essays by a
team of leading scholars who interpret and contextualize
Fleetwood's dialogue. This critical edition and the accompanying
contextual essays will make available to scholars and students
alike this remarkable discussion of the form and nature of English
regnant queenship, which provides a valuable tool for gaining a
greater understanding of contemporary notions of and underlying
fears concerning the efficacy and desirability of female rule in
Elizabethan England.
