This interdisciplinary edited volume explores the notion of queenship as it has manifest from antiquity to the present, in contexts ranging from political acts to art production. Featuring the work of scholars, educators, curators and artists, this book gathers temporally and geographically distinct ideas about queenship into a single discursive space. Invigorating the conversation around powerful historical women and their legacies, the contributors discuss ‘queenship’ as a concept with contemporary urgency—from North America to Africa, and Europe to Asia—foregrounding critical methodologies and creative interventions that address the gaps within archives and current cultural and socio-political representation.Although traditional narratives present queens of the ancient Mediterranean world primarily as the wives, daughters and mothers of kings, such as Semiramis and Cleopatra, the ways in which royal women wielded power—whether directly or indirectly—were actually multivariate, highly nuanced and culturally specific. The current contributions featured in this volume are concerned with teasing out the modern assumptions that have heavily influenced interpretations of gender norms and power dynamics in antiquity. In addition to re-examining primary sources, this volume scrutinizes the historiographies, methodologies and stereotypes that have shaped knowledge production and popular imagination over the course of hundreds and even thousands of years. As such, contributors present different kinds of receptions and speculative articulations of historical queenship, thus forging new paths forward for reconstructing and imagining queenships from antiquity to the present.

In the ancient Mediterranean and West Asian worlds, queens and royal dynastic women, including Arsinoe II, Ada, Naqia and Cleopatra VII, maintained power through their artistic portrayal, their cultural patronage and their relationship with cult worship. Ancient Queenship: Art, Power, and Presence recovers the lived experiences, responsibilities and public personas of dynastic women. Sources drawn from the first millennium BCE to today question our assumptions on queenly status, and ask us to reconsider who holds power, to examine how histories are created and altered, and to centre the often-unexplored narratives of royal women.The volume looks at how the theme of queenship has been "re-owned" and repositioned over time by creating conversation between ancient objects and artworks and ephemera dating from the 15th to the 21st century. These dynamic visions of ancient feminine power occupy new contexts in contemporary popular culture. The blurring of the historical and archaeological records with more modern mythologies, especially those of Salome and the Queen of Sheba, continue to facilitate new connections with royal women over 2000 years old.Ancient Queenship features over 60 artworks drawn from international museum collections, and includes a specially-commissioned piece by contemporary artist Maryam Yousif.
