Drama at the Courts of Queen Henrietta Maria, published in 2006,
considers Queen Henrietta Maria's patronage of drama in England in
the light of her French heritage. Karen Britland challenges a
common view of Henrietta Maria as a meddlesome and frivolous woman
whose actions contributed to the outbreak of the English civil wars
by showing how she was consistent in her allegiances to her family
and friends, and how her cultural and political positions were
reflected in the plays and court masques she sponsored. Unlike
previous studies, this book considers the queen's upbringing at the
French court and her later exile in France during the English civil
wars, and is therefore able to challenge received notions about her
activities in England during the 1630s. Karen Britland employs
innovative research by combining discussions of literary texts with
historical and archival research and discussions of art,
architecture and music.
