 EMLS 8.2 (September, 2002]: 12.1-3 Review of Leeds Barroll, Anna of Denmark
Anna of Denmark, Queen of England stresses this otherwise slighted historical figure's regal genealogy as a daughter and wife respectively of powerful Northern European kings.
In particular, the queen consort's feminocentric court (which Barroll specifies was defined by her person rather than by a specific place), functioned as a significant site of cultural politics, which in her era were inextricable from the administrative, dynastic and diplomatic concerns that critics have inaccurately limited to James's patriarchal court.
Hence, Anna's movement away from masque production in her later years falsely has been seen as a failure of her creative energies, which in fact were directed in the more efficacious direction of bolstering her "regnal identity" as mother of the heir apparent (35).

Anna who was twenty one when the French embassage arrived, had been earlier proposed in marriage to the German Emperor Henry I — the one whose niece had been married to the French King — but the marriage negotiations had fallen through.

Then there's Anna Biller, whose ethnic beauty seems decidedly out of place at first, but her conviction and performance is so on-target that by the end of the film a viewer might be mistakenly convinced that he's watching Jane Russell herself.
Anna Biller's Three Examples of Myself as Queen (is) an endearing camp travesty musical...Sweet, funny, with marvelous costumes, sets, and even quilts designed and constructed by Biller, a kind of innocent homage to Maria Montez with color and decor worthy of Kenneth Anger.
The first segment, "The Sad Queen," is reminiscent of such lavish '50s musicals as The King and I, with Biller as an ennui-struck monarch speaking in French to an Indian raja trying to cheer her up before her female attendants burst into a song that does the trick.

In so doing, he argues that Anna rejected the example of Queen Elizabeth I and the prescriptions of the Privy Council by principally drawing upon relatives of the executed Earl of Essex and members of the Sidney family.
In reading the masques, Barroll’s emphasis is not solely literary: most impressive is his clear explanation of the political statements Anna made in choosing certain noblewomen to accompany her performances, and the political statements they made in ‘taking out’ certain members of the courtly audience to participate in the dancing which concluded these entertainments.
Here, Barroll persuasively argues for the centrality of Queen Anna in forming the political and cultural network so often associated with the figure of Prince Henry: ‘if an efflorescence of the arts is to be attributed to Henry prince of Wales, then...
