The Shaping of the Elizabethan Regime

Reviews / Votes

"MacCaffrey has written an extraordinarily interesting book.... The result is a canvas that is apt to remain the standard picture of early Elizabethan political history for some time to come."---Maurice Lee, Jr., American Historical Review "Professor MacCaffrey has performed a major service.... We are even a little closer to an understanding of the Queen herself, as we are guided through the labyrinth of her dealings with her own servants and foreign ambassadors."---D. M. Loades, Renaissance Quarterly "It is the analysis of how war policy was made which illustrates most effectively the skill of MacCaffrey's narrative and the depth of his understanding of Elizabeth.... A superb book, full of wisdom, learning, and insight."---Kenneth R. Bartlett, Canadian Journal of History
