Encompassing social, political, cultural, religious and economic
history, and crossing several disciplines, The Elizabethan World
depicts a time of transformation, and a world order in transition.
Topics covered include central and local government; political
ideas; censorship and propaganda; parliament, the Protestant
Church, the Catholic community; social hierarchies; women; the
family and household; popular culture, commerce and consumption;
urban and rural economies; theatre; art; architecture; intellectual
developments; exploration and imperialism; Ireland, and the
Elizabethan wars. The volume conveys a vivid picture of how
politics, religion, popular culture, the world of work and social
practices fit together in an exciting world of change, and will be
invaluable reading for all students and scholars of the Elizabethan
period.
