Postava krále Artuše jako prostředek legitimizace moci. Edmund Spenser a John Dee // The character of King Arthur as a medium of legitimization of Queen Elizabeth’s policy

Abstract

The article deals with two essential aspects of the policy of Queen Elizabeth I. — the enforcement of Protestantism as the state religion and the claim of the British Empire to the New World — and its justification in two famous works: the Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser and Brytanici Imperii Limites by John Dee. They both used the character of King Arthur to support Queen Elizabeth’s policy.
