  Abstract:  The Pregnant Body and the Body Politic: Cultural Representations in Tudor and Stuart Drama. The paper brings together the early modern ideology of the King’s two bodies and the embodied experience of pregnancy and birth. Starting from the metaphor of ‘doubling‘, which defines both the political concept of the two bodies and the physiological reality of the pregnant body, the paper looks at some representations of pregnancy on the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage.

Keywords: doubling, maternity, king, body politic, pregnancy, birth, Tudor and Stuart drama, cultural representation.
