Abstract:

Especially at the time of the victory over the Spanish Armada, Queen Elizabeth was lauded as a hero and compared with Boudicca, the queen of the Iceni, who had also fought invaders of a different religion fifteen hundred years earlier. But almost immediately after becoming king James I disparaged his predecessor and other women. In histories, pamphlets, and drama the contested representations of both Elizabeth and Boudicca were presented. This article examines the political/cultural context in the early Stuart age for both the denigration of women and how examples of these two were used to demonstrate the heroism of powerful queens.

斯图尔特国王时代的英勇女王：伊丽莎白和布迪卡

摘要：

特别是在战胜西班牙舰队时，伊丽莎白女王被誉为英雄，与艾西尼女王布迪卡相提并论。艾西尼女王也曾与一千五百年前的另一种宗教的侵略者进行过战斗。但是当詹姆斯成为国王之后，我几乎立即贬低了他的前任和其他妇女。在历史，小册子和戏剧中，提出了伊丽莎白和布迪卡的有争议的表现形式。本文研究斯图尔特时代早期对女性的den毁的政治/文化背景，以及如何使用这两个例子来展示强大的女王的英雄主义。
