- Summary:
- Finally, the much anticipated Second Edition of Christopher Haigh's celebrated and influential study of Elizabeth I. It is not a political, still less a personal, biography of the queen; instead it reappraises her role in government and in the nation, and explores the ways in which she exercised her power. Adept at avoiding the pitfalls of sentiment and anachronism alike, Christopher Haigh examines Elizabeth in terms of her power rather than her policies, exploring her relations with the statesmen of her time and with the key institutions of 16th century political life: the Church, the nobility, the Privy CounciL the Royal Court, Parliament, military and naval commanders, and the people of England.
