Christopher Martin examines how, contrary to received impressions, writers and thinkers of the era - working in the shadow of the kinetic, long-lived queen herself - contested such prejudicial and dismissive social attitudes. In late Tudor England, Martin argues, competing definitions of and regard for old age established a deeply conflicted frontier between external, socially "constituted” beliefs and a developing sense of an individual's "constitution” or physical makeup, a usage that entered the language in the mid-1500s.
