A whore?: Queen Elizabeth I and the Cinematic Subversion of Gender. 330 $aPop culture portrayals of medieval and early modern monarchs are rife with tension between authenticity and modern mores, producing anachronisms such as a feminist Queen Isabel (in RTVE?s Isabel) and a lesbian Queen Christina (in The Girl King). This book examines these anachronisms as a dialogue between premodern and postmodern ideas about gender and sexuality, raising questions of intertemporality, the interpretation of history, and the dangers of presentism. Covering a range of famous and lesser-known European monarchs on screen, from Elizabeth I to Muhammad XII of Granada, this book addresses how the lives of powerful women and men have been mythologized in order to appeal to today?s audiences. The contributors interrogate exactly what is at stake in these portrayals; namely, our understanding of premodern rulers, the gender and sexual ideologies they navigated, and those that we navigate today. . 410 0$aQueenship and Power,$x2730-9398 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aEthnology 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aCultural History 606 $aFilm and TV History 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aFilm and TV History. 676 $a909.07 702 $aNorth$b Janice$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAlvestad$b Karl C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWoodacre$b Elena$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299799603321 996 $aPremodern Rulers and Postmodern Viewers$92525467 997 $aUNINA
