During the past 25 years Elizabethan history has been transformed
by the work of Simon Adams. Famous for the depth and breadth of his
research in libraries and archives throughout Britain, Western
Europe and the USA, he has brought to life the most enigmatic of
the greater Elizabethans: Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
Together with his edition of Leicester's accounts and his
reconstruction of Leicester's papers, Adams has published numerous
essays and articles on Leicester's influence and activities. They
have reshaped our knowledge of Elizabeth and her Court, Parliament,
the localities from Wales to Warwickshire and such subjects of
recent debate as the power of the nobility and the noble affinity,
the politics of faction and the role of patronage. Sixteen of Simon
Adams' essays are found in this collection, organized into three
groups: the Court, Leicester and his affinity, and Leicester and
the regions. The collection ranges from much-cited essays in
standard textbooks to papers at international conferences, as well
as articles in a variety of journals.
