Queen Elizabeth I had a huge impact on her country, so much so that the years of her reign have been named the Elizabethan Age (Morrill). The complexities of Queen Elizabeth I’s life can be best understood by exploring the history of her parents, her siblings, and her feud with her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots.

Thomas Blackburn describes the two Victorian poets, Robert Browning and Alfred, Lord Tennyson as being great contemporaries (47). As such it is apt that their works should muse upon and explore similar topics and themes. Their connection is especially evident in Browning’s “My Last Duchess” and Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalott”. The themes of entrapment and incarceration feature heavily in both of these works. Specifically, it is the entrapment and incarceration of women which pervade their respective
