This essay concentrates on investigating how the victory against the Spanish Armada was represented in those works created after 1588. The first half examines two paintings: the Armada Portrait, which represents Queen Elizabeth's enormous power after defeating Spain by the arrangement of symbolic attributes around the Queen; and an allegorical painting, which is thought to depict the Battle of Gravelines. The second half of the essay discusses the use of the character of the mythological Amazon in The Faerie Queene, following the Earl of Leicester's comment on the Queen during her visit to Tilbury : "she passed like some Amazonian empress". In Book 3 of The Faerie Queene, Amazon is simply a simile for the prowess of the Queen, while in Canto 7 of Book 5, the story of the duel between Britomart and Radigund, the Queen of Amazon, is a political allegory representing the intense conflict between Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart. In this Book, the echoes of the defeat of the Armada are stronger in Canto 8 which is concerned with the story of Prince Arthur killing Saltan, who represents Philip II of Spain. Spenser does not treat the event directly in this canto, but some phrases are clearly linked to events from the Armada. In the book of Justice, the defeat is significant as a part of the liberation of Ireland, which is a goal of the quest for Arthegall, and also in ensuring release from the religious contagion of Spain.

The aim of this essay is to read Thomas Deloney's "The Queenes visiting of the Campe at Tilburie with her entertainment there"(1588) in relation to what is stated / what is left unstated by the narrator of the work, and to investigate the poet's strategies for raising the morale of the English people in general as well as the soldiers. Deloney sets up a narrator "I", who narrates the Queen's visit from an omniscient position as if he is giving a live report from Tilbury The narrator sometimes tactfully withholds specific narration about courtiers and the military and provides vaguely delineated images instead; and he sometimes adds realistic touches by directly quoting the Queen's statements at the camp. By this, he successfully creates an idealized, but reality-based realm with the Queen at its centre. The work does not literally follow historical events, and the poet carefully mixes vague narrative and the people's or soldiers' misgivings with the Queen's assumed speeches, and thereby creates his own version of the Tilbury legend. The technique of what is stated or left unstated by the narrator increases both the recipients' sense of trust towards the Queen and national unity in the face of the approaching enemy.
