In The Axe and the Icon, James H. Billington wrote:Perhaps there was an unconscious realization of this unreality in Elizabeth's almost compulsive fondness for masquerades. Things were not what they seemed in the Elizabethan court. Cryptic maxim, fables, and acrostics had already established themselves at the Tsar's court; and ever since 1735 there had been a special chair of allegory in the Academy of Sciences. Elizabeth's coronation had been celebrated by to examples of allegorical ballet, her favorite form of theatrical entertainment. Increasingly during her reign, she sponsored not only masked balls of various sorts by a particular type known as a "metamorphosis" wherein men came disguised as women and vice versa.
