GCH-Gloriana-Book-FINAL.Pdf THE GARDEN CLUB OF HOUSTON Presents A GARDEN CLUB OF AMERICA CLUB SHOW 5 April 2018 The purpose of The Garden Club of America (GCA) is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening, to share the advantages of association by means of educational meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications, and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvement. The purpose of a GCA Club Flower Show is threefold: to set standards of artistic and horticultural excellence; to broaden knowledge of horticulture, floral design, conservation, photography and related disciplines; and to share the beauty of a show with fellow club members and guests. GLORIANA • The flower show house is in the Tudor/Jacobean style and originally designed by John Staub. • Gloriana was the name given by the 16th-century poet Edmund Spenser to his character representing Tudor Queen Elizabeth I, in his poem “The Faerie Queene.” It became the popular name given to Elizabeth I. It is recorded that the troops at Tilbury hailed her with cries of “Gloriana, Gloriana, Gloriana,” after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. • Gloriana is also a sobriquet used for Queens Elizabeth I, Victoria and Elizabeth II. • The Gloriana is a British royal barge. She was privately commissioned as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II for her Diamond Jubilee, and was the lead vessel in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. • Gloriana, Op. 53, is an opera in three acts composed by Benjamin Britten to an English libretto by William Plomer, based on Lytton Strachey’s 1928 “Elizabeth and Essex: A Tragic History.” • Implies the Glory of Spring. • Our show focuses on the reigns of HRHs Elizabeth I, Victoria and Elizabeth II.

Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made By singing: “ Oh, how beautiful,” and sitting in the shade While better men than we go out and start their working lives At grubbing weeds from gravel-paths with broken dinner-knives….. Then seek your job with thankfulness and work till further orders, If it’s only netting strawberries or killing slugs on borders; And when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden, You will find yourself a partner In the Glory of the Garden. Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees That half a proper gardener’s work is done upon his knees, So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray For the Glory of the Garden that it may not pass away! And the Glory of the Garden it shall never pass away! 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page ...........................................................................1 Poem by Rudyard Kipling ..................................................2 Table of Contents ...............................................................3 Timetable for Exhibitors.....................................................4-7 Flower Show Committee ....................................................8-10 GCA Rules of the Show .....................................................11 General Information ..........................................................12 Division I.

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.

Summary The Faerie Queene is a long epic poem that begins and ends with Christian affirmations. In it, Edmund Spenser draws on both Christian and classical themes, integrating the two traditions with references to contemporary politics and religion. The poem begins with a representation of holiness in book 1, and the Mutabilitie Cantos (first printed with the poem in 1609 after Spenser’s death) conclude with a prayer. Book 1 is identified as the Legend of the Knight of the Red Cross (or Saint George) in canto 2, verses 11-12. Red Cross, as an individual, is the Protestant Everyman, but as Saint George, historically England’s patron saint, he also represents the collective people of England. He is a pilgrim who hopes to achieve the virtue holiness, and for the reader his adventures illustrate the path to holiness. Red Cross’s overarching quest, as an individual, is to behold a vision of the New Jerusalem, but he also is engaged in a holy quest involving the lady Una, who represents the one true faith. To liberate Una’s parents, the king and queen, Adam and Eve, Red Cross must slay the dragon, who holds them prisoner. The dragon represents sin, the Spanish Armada, and the Beast of the Apocalypse, and when Red Cross defeats the dragon he is in effect restoring Eden.

  • 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. While the River Ganges in India is deified as Mother Ganges, a life- giving nurturing goddess, in London the river is personified as Old Father Thames. This walk between Molesey and Kingston explores a short section of the non-tidal river to find out about its physical characteristics – its flow and floods, its islands and meanders. The walk also tells the story of the river’s many roles - as a place to live, a place to work and a place to play.

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.
