Queenship and Political Discourse in the Elizabethan Realms

Omtale

This book re-evaluates Elizabethan politics and Elizabeth's queenship in late sixteenth-century England, Wales and Ireland. Natalie Mears shows the active role that Elizabeth played in policy-making, challenges current perceptions of political debate both within and outside the court, and re-evaluates how historians have and should conceptualize the 'public sphere'.
