Shakespeare’s Foreign Queens
«“Scholars interested in theories of sovereignty and tyranny, foreignness, and the intersections of gender and power as they emerge in Shakespeare will find fruitful avenues in this complex and challenging book.” (Kat Lecky, Early Modern Woman, EMWJ, Vol. 15 (2), 2021)
“This book is true to its title, providing a detailed analytical study of four Shakespearian foreign queens. … The practical structure of the book also lends itself well to being read as an anthology. Each chapter contains a brief introduction to its subject, has distinct notes and its own bibliography.” (Alexandra Claridge, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 6 (1), 2019)»
This book examines Shakespeare's depiction of foreign queens as he uses them to reveal and embody tensions within early modern English politics. Linking early modern and contemporary political theory and concerns through the concepts of fragmented identity, hospitality, citizenship, and banishment, Sandra Logan takes up a set of questions not widely addressed by scholars of early modern queenship.
