Louis Montrose's long-awaited book, \u003ci\u003eThe Subject of Elizabeth, \u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the ways in which the Queen and her subjects variously exploited or obfuscated this contradiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Montrose offers a masterful account of the texts, pictures, and performances in which the Queen was represented to her people, to her court, to foreign powers, and to Elizabeth herself. Retrieving this \"Elizabethan imaginary\" in all its richness and fascination, Montrose presents a sweeping new account of Elizabethan political culture. Along the way, he explores the representation of Elizabeth within the traditions of Tudor dynastic portraiture; explains the symbolic manipulation of Elizabeth's body by both supporters and enemies of her regime; and considers how Elizabeth's advancing age provided new occasions for misogynistic subversions of her royal charisma. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book, the remarkable product of two decades of study by one of our most respected Renaissance scholars, will be welcomed by all historians, literary scholars, and art historians of the period.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouis Montrose\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of literature at the University of California, San Diego, and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Purpose of Playing: Shakespeare and the Cultural Politics of the Elizabethan Theatre\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by the University of Chicago Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 8.98 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45422017708134,"sku":"9780226534756","price":76.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/RzhxdVJjVG1obzZxdE4xN28wRHduZz09.webp?v=1775512234","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-subject-of-elizabeth-authority-gender-and-representation-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
