Citing Haigh

[edit]

It is said that that the page quotes Haigh, presumably Christopher Haigh and not the serial killer.

However under "Works Cites" it lists 2 books made by this Historian and I do not think it is specified which one is being cited.


Also, does the number refer to the page of the book or something else< Voball the wiki man (talk) 00:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Queen Elizabeth and the Polish ambassador 1597

[edit]
Queen Elizabeth I's Reprimand of an Insolent Polish Ambassador.

Hi there, I thought you might be interested in adding a line somewhere about Elizabeth's impromptu Latin riposte in 1597 to the Polish ambassador, which was the subject of this paper Green, Janet M. (2000). "Queen Elizabeth I's Latin Reply to the Polish Ambassador". The Sixteenth Century Journal. 31 (4): 987–1008. doi:10.2307/2671184. ("Elizabeth's thrilling performance was joyfully recounted for years in chronicles, in other published works,and especially in private letters"; p. 1002; quoted by James I in 1622, etc). The paper's contention therefore is that Elizabeth's riposte was at that time extremely well known within literate society at the time, is recorded in a complimentary manner in many contemporary sources, and contributed to revitalising her popularity in her last years. They say it shows her high rhetorical skills and continued command of oral Latin. It is (was?) less well known, of course, because there is less attention to Latin sources. The article appears to have been cited quite widely since (some seven times are listed at the article; Google Scholar claims 42 mentions). There is also a video recording of the speech available at Wikisource, if that is useful, for example as an external link. Jim Killock (talk) 16:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion about mentioning the speech? letter? in the article. The video is not really suitable for the article; it's already linked via the general link to Commons material on this topic, so I would leave it at that. -- Beland (talk) 02:32, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
