This comprehensive and beautifully illustrated collection of essays
conveys a vivid picture of a fascinating and hugely significant
period in history. Featuring contributions from thirty-eight
international scholars, the book takes a thematic approach to a
period which saw the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the explorations
of Francis Drake and Walter Ralegh, the establishment of the
Protestant Church, the flourishing of commercial theatre and the
works of Edmund Spencer, Philip Sidney and William Shakespeare.
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.
