This book examines these anachronisms as a dialogue between premodern and postmodern ideas about gender and sexuality, raising questions of intertemporality, the interpretation of history, and the dangers of presentism. Covering a range of famous and lesser-known European monarchs on screen, from Elizabeth I to Muhammad XII of Granada, this book addresses how the lives of powerful women and men have been mythologized in order to appeal to today?s audiences. The contributors interrogate exactly what is at stake in these portrayals; namely, our understanding of premodern rulers, the gender and sexual ideologies they navigated, and those that we navigate today. 650 0 $a Middle Ages in popular culture. 650 0 $a Queens in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Women in popular culture. 650 0 $a Lesbians in popular culture. 650 0 $a Gays in popular culture. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Historiography. $y Medieval period, 1066-1485 $x Historiography. 700 1 $a North, Janice, $e editor. 830 0 $a Queenship and power. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9705760CC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
