Traditionally historians have argued that the court of Elizabeth I
(1558-1603) was factional, divided between competing subjects who
were manipulated by their Queen. This book provides a different
account: of councillors who were united by two connected dangers,
namely Catholic opposition to Protestant England and Elizabeth's
refusal to marry or to settle England's succession. This
alternative account of the first decade of Elizabeth's reign
investigates three main areas. It challenges the notion that
Elizabeth I and her councillors agreed on policy, and that the
Queen and her secretary, William Cecil, formed an inseparable
political partnership; it establishes the importance of rhetorical
training and the relationship between education and Elizabethan
debates on the issue of service to the Queen, balanced against
service to the Commonwealth; and it deals with the radical
political conditions of the first decade, and argues that the
origins of later Elizabethan crises lay in the 1560s.
