Reading Monarch's Writing: The Poetry of Henry VIII, Mary Stuart, Elizabeth I, and James VI/I
In arguably the first anthology to examine verse penned by the Tudor and Stuart monarchs, eight scholars render the royal poetry accessible to modern readers and study the poetry-power interface from a New Historicist perspective. After comments on the poems' authenticity and less-than-noble quality, Herman (San Diego State U.) introduces interpretations focusing on the political/personal aims behind the powerful appropriating lyric conventions used by those seeking courtly favor. The book includes a selection of monarchic verse and facsimiles of period manuscripts. Indexing is by proper name only. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
