Succeeding to the English throne in 1558, she was the third woman
monarch in the nation s history. The role of English monarch which
involved being commander in chief, head of the English Church, and
ruler of the royal court, with all its intrigues was intended for a
man ruling among men, and women rulers before Elizabeth had
bestowed their power on husbands. Resisting this pattern, Elizabeth
not only endured a monarch but flourished as a leader and cultural
figurehead, inspiring the Golden Age of English literature, the Age
of Discovery, and the Age of Reformation in English religious life.
This Norton Critical Edition provides a diverse and extensive
selection of authors (including the Queen herself) and carefully
annotated works. The works are organized chronologically to cover
the forty-four years of Elizabeth s reign, allowing readers to
explore not only the literary and aesthetic qualities that make
these writings noteworthy but also the range of political, social,
cultural, and historical concerns that prompted their creation. The
editors have assembled a rich, thematically organized collection of
commentary and criticism for Elizabeth I and Her Age. From Raphael
Holinshed s, Sir Francis Bacon s, and Agnes Strickland s early
accounts of the Queen to Natalie Mears on Elizabeth I s strategies
for rule and Thomas Betteridge on the Queen in film, the
twenty-five diverse views of Elizabeth I herein are sure to promote
lively classroom discussion."
