dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the writings of Elizabeth Tudor and determine
whether she was aware of the instability of her position in her formative years. I analyze how
Elizabeth used language to both conceal and reveal knowledge of her precarious status as a
princess-in-waiting. The thesis considers who were the major figures in Elizabeth’s early life
and how did their actions and inactions affect her. I examine how the nature of letters
changed during the period when Elizabeth’s position was altered from illegitimate to
presumptive heir. My major finding is that a close reading of Elizabeth’s letters from 1544
1565 give insights into how the future queen managed to survive a difficult childhood and
adolescence at court and away. | eng |
