The Queen Elizabeth I Society aims to bring together scholars interested in the Queen and in the intellectual, artistic, cultural, and religious life of her court so that we can share ideas, develop professional friendships, and work together on collaborative projects. We welcome specialists in art, history, literature, music, politics, philosophy, and all other relevant fields.

The QEIS 2008 Annual Meeting was a great success. Pictures can be found on the 2008 Meeting page.

In particular, we congratulate the 2008 Agnes Strickland Prize winners: Nathan Martin, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; and Anna Riehl, Auburn University. We also extend our gratitude to Steven May, our 2008 Master of the Revels, and to our Keynote Speakers: Charles Beem, Robert Bucholz, and Mary Ellen Lamb.

Our next meeting will be in Hot Springs, Arkansas, 5–7 March 2009.
