Produktbeschreibung
This book explores (mis)representations of two female claimants to the Tudor throne, Lady Jane Grey and Mary I of England. It places Jane's attempted accession and Mary I's successful accession and reign in comparative perspective, and illustrates how the two are fundamentally linked to one another, and to broader questions of female kingship, precedent, and legitimacy. Through ten original essays, this book considers the nature and meaning of mid-Tudor queenship as it took shape, functioned, and was construed in the sixteenth century as well as its memory down to the twenty-first, in literary, musical, artistic, theatrical, and other cultural forms. Offering unique comparative insights into Jane and Mary, this volume is a key resource for researchers and students interested in the Tudor period, queenship, and historical memory.

Rezensionen
Each essay is well-written, packed with information and analysis, and adds to the debate on how Mary manifested queenship, as well as suggesting what approach Jane might have taken had she had a longer period to express her royal image. Had the arguments been brought together in an overarching essay fulfilling the introduction s promise of a comparison of approaches to queenship, then this excellent volume would have become more than the sum of its parts.
