DOI: 10.1177/0047244104046381 A Memorable WeddingThe Literary Reception of the Wedding of the Princess Elizabeth and Frederick of PfalzDarwin College, Cambridge, gygomori{at}yahoo.co.uk The wedding of Frederick of Pfalz to Elizabeth Stuart in 1613 was one of the great public events in the reign of James I. Much was written about it in a number of languages; this essay investigates the poetic reception in English, Latin and other languages represented in the anthologies edited for or soon after this occasion. Special interest is paid to texts which hail Frederick as a Protestant hero whose future deeds might redraw the map of Europe, shattering the existing Catholic supremacy.
