dc.description.abstractIn this dissertation I have sought to examine some contemporary representations of Elizabeth I. Beginning with an outline of how the queen struggled to construct her feminine power within and beyond dominant patriarchal discourse, I go on to explore closely three modern filmic treatments of the queen: The Virgin Queen (1955), Mary, Queen of Scots (1971) and Elizabeth (1998). These films are discussed in terms of their engagement with Elizabeth's iconography and mythic biography, and in terms of the anxieties reproduced as a consequence of their grounding in particular historical eras.en_ZA
