Was Elizabeth I worshipped by her subjects? Many twentieth-century
scholars have suggested that the Virgin Queen was a cult-figure who
replaced the Virgin Mary. But how could this be in a Protestant
state officially opposed to idolatry? Helen Hackett examines these
issues through readings of a wide variety of Elizabethan texts. She
traces some of the cross-currents in Elizabethan culture, and
considers both Elizabeth and the Virgin Mary in terms of the
history of representations of gender, sexuality and power.
