Queen Elizabeth I was an iconic figure in England during her reign,
with many contemporary English portraits and literary works
extolling her virtue and political acumen. In Spain, however, her
image was markedly different. While few Spanish fictional or
historical writings focus primarily on Elizabeth, numerous works
either allude to her or incorporate her as a character. The Image
of Elizabeth I in Early Modern Spain explores the fictionalized,
historical, and visual representations of Elizabeth I and their
impact on the Spanish collective imagination. Drawing on works by
Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Pedro de Ribadeneira, Luis de
Gongora, Cristobal de Virues, Antonio Coello, and Calderon de la
Barca, among others, the contributors to this volume limn
contradictory assessments of Elizabeth's physical appearance,
private life, personality, and reign. In doing so they articulate
the various and sometimes conflicting ways in which the Tudor
monarch became both the primary figure in English propaganda
efforts against Spain and a central part of the Spanish political
agenda. This edited volume revives and questions the image of
Elizabeth I in early modern Spain as a means of exploring how the
queen's persona, as mediated by its Spanish reception, has shaped
the ways in which we understand Anglo-Spanish relations during a
critical era for both kingdoms.
