Hi Germaine: Seeing this posting reminded me that a PhD student here is starting to write a thesis on Queenship in the english renaissance: she'll have chapters on elizabeth, anne, and henrietta maria, and talk about their use of theatre in their courts, and also talk about representation of queens in drama. I'm not supervising, but am on the committtee. I've told her that she 'll want to start her Elizabeth chapter with the QMP. If this summer you pull together an introduction that you'd feel comfortable letting a student see before you publish, I'm sure the she would be very grateful. Might very well be the first citation of your and john's work!
