Deskripsi

Abstract The relationship between Queen Elizabeth I and her favorite, the Earl of Essex, reveals a complex of names and naming. There is a textual variant in 3Henry VI in which the shire name Essex has been omitted. From this, it appears that the omission is the result of censorship and that the unknown play performed before the Queen on the very eve of Essex's execution was 3Henry VI.
