Book excerpt: This diachronic study serves as a sourcebook of references to Boudica in the early modern period and gives a general overview of the ways in which her story was interpreted, presented and fragmented by various history writers and literary figures. It also examines the apparatus of state ideology which processed the social, religious and political representations of Boudica for public absorption and added to the myth we have today of Boudica in popular culture.
