This collection investigates Queen Elizabeth I as an accomplished
writer in her own right as well as the subject of authors who
celebrated her. With innovative essays from Brenda M. Hosington,
Carole Levin, and other established and emerging experts, it
reappraises Elizabeth's translations, letters, poems and prayers
through a diverse range of approaches to textuality, from
linguistic and philological to literary and cultural-historical.
The book also considers Elizabeth as "authored," studying how she
is reflected in the writing of her contemporaries and
reconstructing a wider web of relations between the public and
private use of language in early modern culture. Contributions from
Carlo M. Bajetta, Guillaume Coatelen and Giovanni Iamartino bring
the Queen's presence in early modern Italian literary culture to
the fore. Together, these essays illuminate the Queen in writing,
from the multifaceted linguistic and rhetorical strategies that she
employed, to the texts inspired by her power and charisma.
