The reign of Elizabeth I was one of the most important periods of expansion and growth in British history, the so-called 'Golden Age'. This celebrated and influential study of Elizabeth reconsiders how she achieved this and the ways in which she exercised her power.
This series aims to provide both an understanding of political, economic and social developments on the one hand with an appraisal of the individual's role on the other. In this book the author aims to examine Queen Elizabeth I in terms of her power rather than her policies, and does so through an exploration of her relations with other politicians and with the institutions of 16th century political life.
