Acclaimed for their dramatic rendering of the personalities and
forces that shaped Elizabethan politics, Wallace T. MacCaffrey's
three volumes thoroughly chronicle the Queen's decision making
throughout her reign in a way that combines pleasurable reading
with subtle analysis. Together in paperback for the first time,
these books will find a wide readership among those interested in
debunking Elizabeth's many mythic images and in following the steps
of Elizabethan policy-makers as they grapple with the most crucial
political problems of their day. To determine how policy evolved
from the interaction between Elizabeth and her councillors from
1572 to the Armada in 1588, MacCaffrey begins with domestic
affairs, focusing on the central problem of religious dissent, both
Protestant and Catholic. Turning to foreign affairs, he then
examines England's external relations with the Continental
monarchies and Scotland. Lastly, he analyzes the two focuses of
decision making, the Court and Parliament. Originally published in
1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
