This interdisciplinary volume about “Queen Elizabeth I: Past and
Present”” marks
the 400th anniversary of the death of the Queen, one of England’s greatest
monarchs and a highly intelligent and successful ruler. The volume will
appeal to everyone interested in the charismatic character of
Elizabeth I,
her time and afterlife. Distinguished contributors from Europe and the
United States focus on important aspects of Elizabeth’s subtle and
resourceful political power and the longstanding struggle she faced at home
and abroad as well as the threats posed to her realm. The volume also
brings together for the first time a series of papers about fictive
representations of Queen Elizabeth I in literature, music and film.
Christa Jansohn is Professor of British Culture at the
University of Bamberg.
