Description
The age of Elizabeth I continues to exercise a fascination unmatched by other periods of English history. Yet while the leading figures may seem familiar, many Elizabethan figures, including the queen herself, remain enigmatic. In Elizabethans Patrick Collinson examines the religious beliefs both of Elizabeth and of Shakespeare, as well as redrawing the main features of the political and religious structure of the reign. He understands the characters of the period as individuals but is also sensitive to the attitudes and beliefs of the day.
Author Biography

Reviews"A remarkable mastery over a very tricky and much disputed historical territory." --G. R. Elton "This is academic history at its very best - not 'dry as dust' but witty, stylish, allusive...erudite and full of paradox." --"History Today" "Vintage Collinson discursive but immensely learned, and always interesting." --Michael Graham
