The thesis goes beyond the similarity of the shared name of the two monarchs; it shows the major changes not only in the way of portraying a queen but also in the way in which the public has changed its perception of the monarch and of the monarchy. Elizabeth I aimed to unite a nation by focusing the eye upon herself, while Elizabeth II triumphed through humanity and informality.

  • Addressing the Queen: Costumes and Elizabeth I in Film
    ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING Under the Direction of Frances Teague ABSTRACT This work focuses on how costumes convey meaning about Queen Elizabeth I in her biopics. First, I will examine the queen’s costume in the final scene of Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 film Elizabeth as a response to the heritage film debate. By conflating two famous portrait gowns, Kapur plays upon the audience’s visual expectations of historical film, thereby separating his film from those that had been criticized as “heritage films.” After using Elizabeth to complicate questions of genre, I will turn to Henry Koster’s 1955 film The Virgin Queen in order to examine how Elizabeth’s costumes depict her as a frustrated, passive figure juxtaposed against Sir Walter Raleigh, who actively fashions his identity by choosing his own clothing. INDEX WORDS: Queen Elizabeth I, Cate Blanchett, Bette Davis, Shekhar Kapur, Henry Koster, costumes, historical film, heritage film, national identity, British national identity, royal portraits, iconography ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING B.A., Wofford College, 2001 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2005 © 2005 Lisa Ward Bolding All Rights Reserved ADDRESSING THE QUEEN: COSTUMES AND ELIZABETH I IN FILM by LISA WARD BOLDING Major Professor: Frances Teague Committee: Christy Desmet Hugh Ruppersburg Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia December 2005 DEDICATION To Mom and Nana, for all your generous gifts; my love of stories comes from you.

Most of the world’s biggest cities are located by large rivers. These waterways are so important that they are respected, venerated, even worshipped.

Revising Mary Queen of Scots: from Protestant Persecution to Patriarchal Struggle Abstract Since Mary Queen of Scots’ execution in 1587, she has become a symbol of Scottish identity, failed female leadership, and Catholic martyrdom. Throughout the twentieth century, Mary was regularly depicted on screen (Ford, 1936; Froelich, 1940; Jarrott, 1971) as a thrice-wed Catholic queen, unable to rule her country due to her feminine nature and Catholic roots. However, with the rise of third wave feminism and postfeminism in media, coupled with the increased influence of emalef directors and writers, Mary’s characterization has shifted from portraying female/emotional weakness and religious sacrifice ot female/collaborative strength in hardship and a struggle against patriarchal prejudice.

    Windsor Castle cross stitch pattern by Riverdrift House Manufacturer: Riverdrift House Reference:RDH131 Price: $6.49 Options: download pdf file : English Description: Windsor Castle CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY RIVERDRIFT HOUSE In the designer's own words: “The scale of Windsor Castle is quite breathtaking and I have given it an autumnal feel, as the surrounding centuries-old Great Park, managed by the Crown Estate (Prince Philip is the boss) is so spectacular. Centre stage beneath the Castle on the river is the ‘Gloriana’, built in grand historic style to take the Queen by oarsmen on her Royal Progress along the Thames in the Diamond Jubilee Regatta celebrations in 2012 - with Royal swans. Also to stitch is the most senior British Order of Chivalry, the Order of the Garter, the Knights led by the Queen in cheerful procession through Windsor each June, with motto (evil/shame to him who thinks evil) with two Garter Stars included. I also squeezed in a small crest of Eton College, the Guardsmen in grey (they change from red summer tunics into grey great coats for the autumn and winter months) , the Royal Standard and Union Flag, horses and, of course, the Royal corgis!” Creative Poppy says: The British royal family with its traditions and its pageantry, never ceases to fascinate. Fun to stitch, the "Royal Windsor Castle" cross stitch sampler, and its two pendants "Buckingham Palace" and "The Royal Castle of Balmoral" (see below) form a decorative and colorful triptych.
