songs for Elizabeth I

To fully appreciate Dowland’s lute songs, we must explore the connection between Elizabethan poetry, politics and music. During her reign, Elizabeth and her government established a powerful propaganda machine that extended throughout politics and the arts, known by historians as the ‘Cult.’ Mythological allusions to Elizabeth abound in the lute song genre, and ‘re-naming’ her was often the indirect means of communicating with her, or criticizing her.
