Female Identity in Renaissance Literature: Queen Elizabeth I and Literary Representations of Women in Power in Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Century Literature - Softcover
Queen Elizabeth I ascended to the throne in 1558 and ruled until her death in 1603, presiding over the ¿Golden Age¿ of England. The appearance of a female ruler in a patriarchal society precipitated a re-imagining of female rule, both in political theory and on the stage. Investigating a range of Renaissance drama and poetry as well as the writings of the queen herself, this book examines the impact of Queen Elizabeth I upon representations of Women in Power in Early Modern Literature. Chapter One is a study of the hitherto neglected poetry of Queen Elizabeth I. The themes of female desire, masculine identity and political power are examined in Christopher Marlowe¿s Dido, Queen of Carthage (1594) and John Webster¿s The Duchess of Malfi (1613) in Chapter Two.The book concludes with an investigation into literary representations of cross-dressing in William Shakespeare, Philip Sidney and Edmund Spenser in Chapter Three. This study will benefit a reader interested generally in Renaissance literature and in issues of gender, female identity and politics more specifically.
