Description
The fifteen years between the accession of Elizabeth I to the throne and the death of the Duke of Norfolk were a true time of testing for the new regime. Originally published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
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 HistoryMore details
