This book examines Shakespeare's depiction of foreign queens as he
uses them to reveal and embody tensions within early modern English
politics. Linking early modern and contemporary political theory
and concerns through the concepts of fragmented identity,
hospitality, citizenship, and banishment, Sandra Logan takes up a
set of questions not widely addressed by scholars of early modern
queenship. How does Shakespeare's representation of these queens
challenge the opposition between friend and enemy that ostensibly
defines the context of the political? And how do these queens
expose the abusive potential of the sovereign? Focusing on
Katherine of Aragon in Henry VIII, Hermione in The Winter's Tale,
Tamora in Titus Andronicus, and Margaret in the first history
tetralogy, Logan considers them as means for exploring conditions
of vulnerability, alienation, and exclusion common to subjects of
every social position, exposing the sovereign himself as the true
enemy of the state.
