As a woman wielding public authority, Elizabeth I embodied a
paradox at the very center of sixteenth-century patriarchal English
society. Louis Montrose's long-awaited book, "The Subject of
Elizabeth, "illuminates the ways in which the Queen and her
subjects variously exploited or obfuscated this contradiction.
Montrose offers a masterful account of the texts, pictures, and
performances in which the Queen was represented to her people, to
her court, to foreign powers, and to Elizabeth herself. Retrieving
this "Elizabethan imaginary" in all its richness and fascination,
Montrose presents a sweeping new account of Elizabethan political
culture. Along the way, he explores the representation of Elizabeth
within the traditions of Tudor dynastic portraiture; explains the
symbolic manipulation of Elizabeth's body by both supporters and
enemies of her regime; and considers how Elizabeth's advancing age
provided new occasions for misogynistic subversions of her royal
charisma.
This book, the remarkable product of two decades of study by one of
our most respected Renaissance scholars, will be welcomed by all
historians, literary scholars, and art historians of the period.
