Kerstin Weiand uses the example of the rule of Elizabeth I of England (1558-1603) to study how individual historical persons come to be viewed as timeless, larger-than-life models. Elizabeth I of England (1558-1603) was one of the most important key figures of English and later British identity. Even to the present day she is looked on as an embodiment of national splendor. In this volume, Kerstin Weiand uses the example of Elizabeth I to study how individual historical persons come to be viewed as timeless, larger-than-life models. She includes in her study die communicative prerequisites of such a process as well as the relationship between schemes of political interpretation, actors and actions. This creates new perspectives from communication and the history of culture and combines them with classical questions from political history.
Dr. Kerstin Weiand ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Exzellenzcluster „Die Herausbildung normativer Ordnungen“ der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.
Memories of historic events or characters largely form the collective identity and political mentality of societies. One famous example of this phenomenon is Queen Elizabeth I of England (1558-1603). The last Tudor monarch became one of the key figures of an English, later British identity. To this day she is the heroic embodiment of national grandeur. Kerstin Weiand examines how Elizabeth became a political icon by analyzing changing political discourses in Stuart England. Contextualizing the image of Elizabeth I it focuses on different communicative spaces in England and beyond. She shows that European political ideas and contexts played an important role in constructing what became the ‘myth’ of Elizabeth.>
