Summary
As this podcast continues to evolve, I decided this season, I would do my very first themed season. Queens! We'll learn about a marvelous collection of queens from various guests. In this episode we look at daughter of James VI/I, sister of Charles I, and aunt of Charles II - Elizabeth Stuart.
Today, I am joined by Prof. Dr. Nadine Akkerman, literary historian, author and educator. Nadine’s access to Elizabeth Stuart’s original letters makes her the foremost authority on Elizabeth Stuart, and the perfect guest for to day’s show.
