Right, so Trystan reminded me that I haven't posted my favorite QEI... Glenda Jackson is probably at the top of the pile, but I'm really attached to Helen Mirren's portrayal in Elizabeth I. I gave Trystan a copy to watch, thinking she'd dig it, but she dissed it (I still love you, Trystan, and I forgive you. Tee hee!), because it does play up ( Read more... )

She is, without a doubt, Glenda Jackson in Elizabeth R from the '70s BBC production that aired on Masterpiece Theater in the U.S. This was actually what sucked me into history & costume as a kid in the very first place ( Read more... )

Hi everyone, it's my long overdue resources posting! I hope you all enjoyed the latest Frock Flick, by the way... And upon listening to it myself, I have concluded that pink drinkery + podcasting = interesting, yet not completely terrible results. ;)

Thot I'd finally post the books I recommended in the "Elizabeth" podcast, & I'm sure sarahbellem & demode_kvc will soon too.

First is a good, approachable biography of QEI: The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir. This book gives a comprehensive look at Elizabeth's reign & is supported by tons of period quotes & references. I esp. found the details of what is actually ( Read more... )
