Premodern Rulers and Postmodern Viewers by Janice North
Pop culture portrayals of medieval and early modern monarchs are rife with tension between authenticity and modern mores, producing anachronisms such as a feminist Queen Isabel (in RTVEs Isabel) and a lesbian Queen Christina (in The Girl King).“Premodern Rulers, Postmodern Viewers is an important collection given the boon of period pieces and exciting, new visions of the relationship between history and ‘truth’ The essays will be of interest to those of us working on early modern rulers but also to those interested in theorizing these adaptations of historical figures. … I imagine teachers of premodern texts and histories will appreciate a clear point of entry into discussing premodern history with students.” (Alicia Andrzejewski, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 16 (2), 2022)
