About this title

Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover

Elizabeth I

"A sustained reflection on the nature of Elizabethan power that will
challenge historians for a long time to come" History Today

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. Looking at her role in government and in the nation it:

examines Elizabeth in terms of her power rather than her policies

explores her relations with the statesman of her time

shows how she interacted with the key institutions of sixteenth century
political life.

As this invaluable account shows, in the Tudor age, it was hard enough to be a king; it was doubly hard to be a queen. Throughout her long reign, Elizabeth's target was survival. And she survived. This introduction to Elizabeth I tells us how.

Christopher Haigh is Student and Tutor in Modern History at Christ Church, and a lecturer in Modern History at the University of Oxford.
