Beskrivelse
Approaching the Stuart courts through the lens of the queen consort, Anna of Denmark, this study is underpinned by three key themes: translating cultures, female agency and the role of kinship networks and genealogical identity for early modern royal women. Illustrated with a fascinating array of objects and artworks, the book follows a trajectory that begins with Anna s exterior spaces before moving to the interior furnishings of her palaces, the material adornment of the royal body, an examination of Anna s visual persona and a discussion of Anna s performance of extraordinary rituals that follow her life cycle. Underpinned by a wealth of new archival research, the book provides a richer understanding of the breadth of Anna s interests and the meanings generated by her actions, associations and possessions. -- .
