Shakespeare’s Restless World: Life Without Elizabeth
- Synopsis
- Fourth of a twenty-part radio series in which the director of the British Museum, Neil MacGregor, presents an object-based history of the time of Shakespeare to explore how Elizabethan and Jacobean audiences made sense of their rapidly changing environment.
In this episode MacGregor explains how the political undertones attached to a portrait of Elizabeth I (Allegory of the Tudor Succession) from c 1572 changed by the 1590s when there was no direct heir to the throne. - Series
