Political Culture in the Reign of Elizabeth I: Queen and Commonwealth 1558 1585

by A.N. McLaren

Book Overview

Anne McLaren explores the consequences for English political culture when, with the accession of Elizabeth I, imperial kingship came to be invested in a female ruler. She looks at how Elizabeth managed to be queen, in the face of considerable male opposition, and emphasizes the continuities between Elizabeth's reign and the outbreak of the English civil wars in the seventeenth century. Political Culture in the Reign of Elizabeth I thus offers a wholesale reinterpretation of the political dynamics of the period.
