The age of Elizabeth I exercises a fascination unmatched by other
periods of English history. Yet while the leading figures may seem
familiar, many Elizabethan personalities, including the queen
herself, remain enigmatic; their attitudes to life, politics and
religion often difficult to comprehend. Patrick Collinson redraws
the main features of the political and religious struggle of the
reign. In engaging with the virgin queen herself he tackles the old
conundrum: was she a religious woman? He also investigates the no
less inscrutable religious position adopted by the by the notorious
turncoat, Andrew Perne, the reliability as a historian of the
martyrologist John Foxe (whose religion is in no doubt) and the
religious environment which shaped William Shakespeare.
