While it has often been recognised that counsel formed an essential
part of the political discourse in early modern England, the
precise role that it occupied in the development of political
thinking has remained obscure. This comprehensive and rigorous
study of early modern English political counsel establishes the
importance of the relationship between political counsel and the
discourse of sovereignty. Tracing the changes and evolution of
writings on political counsel during the 'monarchy of counsel',
from the end of the Wars of the Roses to the end of the English
Civil War, Joanne Paul examines English thought in its domestic and
transnational context, providing an original account of the
relationship between counsel and emerging conceptions of
sovereignty. Formed at the conjunction of the history of political
thought and English political history, this book grounds textual
analysis within the context of court politics, intellectual and
patronage networks, and diplomacy.
