War and politics in the Elizabethan counties reassesses the
national war effort during the wars against Spain (1585-1603).
Drawing on a mass of hitherto neglected sources, it finds a
political system in much better health than has been thought,
revising many existing assumptions about the weaknesses of the
state in the face of military change. It examines politics and
government from the court and privy council to the counties and
parishes, assessing the central regime as well as the local
machinery of lord lieutenancies which provided troops to fight
Elizabeth's wars and ran the militia which defended against Spanish
invasion attempts. The problems of government are assessed in a
wide-ranging set of contexts, addressing popular attitudes to the
war, government propaganda, local resistance and the problems of
governing a country divided in religion. In this way the book
covers much more than the war alone, providing a new assessment of
the effectiveness of the whole Elizabethan state. -- .
