For two centuries, the chancel of St. Thomas's Church in Newport, on the Isle of Wight, held the obscured remains of Princess Elizabeth Stuart (1635–1650), marked only by the letters ‘E.S.’ carved into the wall nearby. In 1856, during the church's renovations, Queen Victoria ordered that a monument be erected as ‘a token of respect for her virtues, and of sympathy for her misfortunes’. Around the same time as Victoria's public honouring of the Stuart princess, Elizabeth was (re)introduced to popular culture: Mary Anne Everett Green published the multi-volumed Lives of the Princesses of England: From the Norman Conquest in 1855, which was followed in 1888 by Agnes Strickland's Lives of the Tudor and Stuart Princesses. Both texts included biographical chapters on Elizabeth that detailed her life as a child in the royal court, as well as her actions and involvement during the English Civil War. However, Elizabeth is still a figure on the edge of Stuart scholarship, and is routinely absent from accounts of the period. She is absent from the recent Biographical Encyclopedia of Early Modern Englishwomen, and her entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is no more detailed than the Wikipedia article about her life. The most recent work to include an account of her life is Linda Porter's Royal Renegades.
