Win Borrow FINALLY!

Dobson, Michael, and Nicola J. Watson. England's Elizabeth: an afterlife in fame and fantasy. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002. Print.

Hello there! I hope you are all having a fabulous thanksgiving! I finally took the time to look through my find through WinBorrow (which I might say I wish I had found a long time ago!!). In the book England's Elizabeth: an afterlife in fame and fantasy, there are chapters entitled "The Queen is Dead Long Live the Queen" and "Elizabeth Modernized" that I found particularly helpful. Another chapter called "Gloriana Revived" relates her to the figure of Gloriana in Spenser's The Faerie Queen. An excerpt reads, "Spenser's Faerie Queen has embroidered around Elizabeth's image--in which she hymed as Gloriana, Arthur's destined bride, the once and future queen destined to return in Britain's hour of need" (48). While this book supports the claims of womenly power, it also produces the opposing viewpoint and thus, functions for both arguments.

Let me know if you want to borrow this to take some scans and such :)
