Final answer:

Nicholas Rowe's 1715 tragedy does not directly concern Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary I, Queen Anne, or Queen Victoria; instead, it deals with the life of Lady Jane Grey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1715, playwright Nicholas Rowe's "Tragedy of Jane Shore" premiered in London, which is about the life of the mistress of King Edward IV. However, the question seems to be pointing towards his play titled 'The Tragedy of the Lady Jane Grey', which centers around Lady Jane Grey, who was proclaimed queen but ruled for only nine days before Mary I took the throne. None of the options listed in the question (Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary I, Queen Anne, Queen Victoria) match the correct subject of Rowe's tragedy which premiered in 1715 as none of these monarchs are the primary figure in his work 'The Tragedy of the Lady Jane Grey'. It may be a case where there's a mix-up in the question itself.
