Introduced by a brief examination of the anonymous seventeenth-century miniature painting used on the book's jacket and frontispiece, essays in Resurrecting Elizabeth I in Seventeenth-Century England combine literary and cultural analysis to show how and why images of Elizabeth Tudor appeared so widely in the century after her death and how those images were modified as the century progressed. The volume includes work by Steven W. May (on quotations and misquotations of Elizabeth's own words), Alan R. Young (on the Phoenix Queen and her successor, James I), Georgianna Ziegler (on Elizabeth's goddaughter, Elizabeth of Bohemia), Jonathan Baldo (on forgetting Elizabeth in Henry VIII), Lisa Gim (on Anna Maria van Schurman and Anne Bradstreet's visions of Elizabeth as an exemplary woman), and Kim H. Noling (on John Banks' creation of a maternal genealogy for English Protestantism).

The Royal Collection contains a comprehensive group of miniatures. This catalogue describes the portrait miniatures dating from the origins of the art in the 1520s up to the end of the 17th century. Over 450 examples are included, and each is reproduced in colour, and most are actual size. The catalogue contains work by Lucas Horenbout, Hans Holbein the Younger, Nicholas Hilliard, Isaac Oliver, John Hoskins, Jean Petitot, Samuel Cooper and Charles Boit. There are portraits of virtually every sovereign from Henry VII to Queen Anne; Louis XIV and his court are well-represented, as is the house of Brunswick-Luneberg. There are likenesses too of major literary and religious figures of the period, as well as people associated with major historical events.
