Description | This collection brings a transcultural and transnational perspective to the study of early modern women rulers and female sovereignty. Contributors to the volume juxtapose rulers from different countries, including Isabel of Castile and Elizabeth Tudor, as well as Isabeau of Bavaria, Jeanne d'Albret, Isabel Clara Eugenia, Juana of Austria, and Catherine of Brandenburg. Several essays also focus on the representations of foreign rulers such as Catherine de Medici in England and Elizabeth I in France. Drawing on early modern literature and historical documents, this study investigates the various political, discursive, and symbolic measures employed to negotiate and support female sovereignty by both early modern writers and the rulers themselves. |
