The discourse of political counsel in early modern Europe depended
on the participation of men, as both counsellors and counselled.
Women were often thought too irrational or imprudent to give or
receive political advice-but they did in unprecedented numbers, as
this volume shows. These essays trace the relationship between
queenship and counsel through over three hundred years of history.
Case studies span Europe, from Sweden and Poland-Lithuania via the
Habsburg territories to England and France, and feature queens
regnant, consort and regent, including Elizabeth I of England,
Catherine Jagiellon of Sweden, Catherine de' Medici and Anna of
Denmark. They draw on a variety of innovative sources to recover
evidence of queenly counsel, from treatises and letters to poetry,
masques and architecture. For scholars of history, politics and
literature in early modern Europe, this book enriches our
understanding of royal women as political actors.
