By the time Elizabeth assumed the English throne in 1558, was religious turmoil, and disastrous finances had weakened the nation. By the end of her reign forty-five years later, England was rich and secure, enjoying its growing role as a world leader. Readers will learn how during her tenure, England destroyed the feared Spanish Armada, experienced the flourishing of great literature, and witnessed great social and economic reform that shaped the future of the nation for more than 200 years.
