Lucy Lagier, specialist in early modern history and author of a bachelor’s thesis on ceremonial display and royal image in the sixteenth century, will begin a Master’s in General History at the University of Neuchâtel.
This lecture examines the politics of appearance around Elizabeth I, exploring how clothing and jewellery signalled social rank and inner identity. It investigates the influence of Protestant norms on her aesthetic choices and considers whether crafted imagery contributed to the acquisition and preservation of monarchical power.
In French.
