James Anthony Froude (1818 1894) was one of the foremost historians
in Victorian England, famous for his controversial 1884 biography
of Thomas Carlyle (also to be reissued in this series), and for
many works on England during the Reformation period. In 1892 Froude
was appointed Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford. This
volume, first published posthumously in 1895, contains a series of
lectures on the English navy in the sixteenth century which he gave
at Oxford between 1893 and 1894. Informed by Froude's earlier
research on the Reformation, the lectures focus on key leaders and
events, as well as exploring the relationship between the growth of
the English navy and the Reformation, and the role of Sir John
Hawkins in exposing the Ridolfi plot to overthrow Elizabeth I. They
provide many insights into the close connection between the court
of Elizabeth I and the development of the navy.
