This collection brings together essays examining the international
influence of queens, other female rulers, and their representatives
from 1450 through 1700, an era of expanding colonial activity and
sea trade. As Europe rose in prominence geopolitically, a number of
important women-such as Queen Elizabeth I of England, Catherine de
Medici, Caterina Cornaro of Cyprus, and Isabel Clara Eugenia of
Austria-exerted influence over foreign affairs. Traditionally
male-dominated spheres such as trade, colonization, warfare, and
espionage were, sometimes for the first time, under the control of
powerful women. This interdisciplinary volume examines how they
navigated these activities, and how they are represented in
literature. By highlighting the links between female power and
foreign affairs, Colonization, Piracy, and Trade in Early Modern
Europe contributes to a fuller understanding of early modern
queenship.
