This long-awaited and masterfully edited volume contains nearly all
of the writings of Queen Elizabeth I: the clumsy letters of
childhood, the early speeches of a fledgling queen, and the prayers
and poetry of the monarch's later years. The first collection of
its kind, "Elizabeth I" reveals brilliance on two counts: that of
the Queen, a dazzling writer and a leading intellect of the English
Renaissance, and that of the editors, whose copious annotations
make the book not only essential to scholars but accessible to
general readers as well.
England's Virgin Queen, Elizabeth Tudor, had a reputation for
proficiency in foreign languages, repeatedly demonstrated in
multilingual exchanges with foreign emissaries at court and in the
extemporized Latin she spoke on formal visits to Cambridge and
Oxford. But the supreme proof of her mastery of other tongues is
the sizable body of translations she made over the course of her
lifetime. This two-volume set is the first complete collection of
Elizabeth's translations from and into Latin, French, and Italian.
Presenting original and modernized spellings in a facing-page
format, these two volumes will answer the call to make all of
Elizabeth's writings available. They include her renderings of
epistles of Cicero and Seneca, religious writings of John Calvin
and Marguerite de Navarre, and Horace's "Ars poetica," as well as
Elizabeth's Latin "Sententiae" drawn from diverse sources, on the
responsibilities of sovereign rule and her own perspectives on the
monarchy. Editors Janel Mueller and Joshua Scodel offer
introduction to each of the translated selections, describing the
source text, its cultural significance, and the historical context
in which Elizabeth translated it. Their annotations identify
obscure meanings, biblical and classical references, and
Elizabeth's actual or apparent deviations from her sources.
The translations collected here trace Elizabeth's steady
progression from youthful evangelical piety to more mature
reflections on morality, royal responsibility, public and private
forms of grief, and the right way to rule. "Elizabeth I:
Translations "is the queen's personal legacy, an example of the
very best that a humanist education can bring to the conduct
ofsovereign rule.
Culinary herbs and spices have been recognised globally for their
