Elizabeth 1 by C Haigh

The reign of Elizabeth I was one of the most important periods of expansion and growth in British history - the "Golden Age". This celebrated and influential study reconsiders how Elizabeth achieved this, and the ways in which she exercised her power. It analyses the nature of her power through an examination of her relations with Parliament, the Council of Ministers, the Church, the nobility, military and the English people themselves.
'A sustained reflection on the nature of Elizabethan power that will
challenge historians for a long time to come' History Today "Haigh brings his subject alive with deft touches of humour and provocative commentsHis style is always lively, sometimes even racy".Susan Doran "An extraordinarily good book".Journal of Historical Studies
