"Boadicea's Legacy" explores the construction of personal and
national identities in early modern England, highlighting problems
and anxieties attendant on historicist projects of national
identity in a nation with no native classical past. Pre-eminent
among these anxieties was the fear of a savage femininity at the
very origins of the nation. Boadicea, the ancient warrior queen,
epitomized early modern beliefs in the inevitable excess and
failure of female rule. Written in an accessible style, "Boadicea's
Legacy" offers powerful new readings of the ancient British past in
Shakespeare's "King Lear" and "Cymbeline," persuasively illuminates
a 'Boadicean' heritage in royal iconography, drama, and the social
symptoms of religious dissent, and finally, articulates parallels
between the eventual domestication of Britain's warrior queen in
Restoration drama, and the social, political and legal decline in
the status of women.
