Theodora Jankowski looks at both the light and the dark side of the Elizabeth character in each of Lyly's court plays, while at the same time considering how that allegory works in terms of the various issues Lyly debates within the plays. She reveals the fraught nature of John Lyly's relationship to Queen Elizabeth. He was not the first creative artist to introduce subversive undercurrents in entertainments designed to flatter the queen. However, Jankowski demonstrates how Lyly, while praising the queen and accepting her beneficence, simultaneously manages to present his audiences with the "dark queen," the opposite side of the positive image of the Queen of England"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 153-161) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Elizabeth I, John Lyly, and the monstrosity of icons -- Rulership and the monarch's two bodies in Sapho and Phao, Campaspe, and Midas -- Gender, alpha males, and all-around bullies in Love's Metamorphosis -- Sexuality, lesbian desire, and the necessity of a penis in Gallathea -- Male friendship and unruly women in Endimion -- Early modern economics in the entertainments -- Coda: the Man in the Moon and "The Woman in the Moon", or, whose moon is it really? 600 10 $a Lyly, John, $d 1554?-1606 $x Queens. $x Queens. 600 00 $a Elizabeth $b I, $c Queen of England, $d 1533-1603 $x In literature. 600 07 $a Elizabeth $b I, $c Queen of England, $d 1533-1603. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00039609 600 17 $a Lyly, John, $d 1554?-1606. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00015110 650 0 $a Queens in literature. 650 7 $a Criticism and interpretation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01198648 650 7 $a English drama $x Early modern and Elizabethan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710950 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 648 7 $a 1500-1600 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Jankowski, Theodora A., 1945- author. $t Elizabeth I, the subversion of flattery, and John Lyly's court plays and entertainments $d Kalamazoo : Medieval Institute Publications, Western Michigan University, [2018] $z 9781580443340 $w (DLC) 2018052298 830 0 $a Late Tudor and Stuart drama. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120034200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F9AA658462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
