Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. Introduction: The idea of a book on the "Elizabethan world" may seem to give an undue importance to England in the second half of the sixteenth century.  Governing Elizabethan England: England's national government had a simple mandate: to keep the peace and defend the realm against external and internal enemies. The queen: Writing about Elizabeth I is not easy. The council: In May 1598, a tense and fractious debate occurred in the Privy Council between those, led by William Cecil, Lord Burghley, who favoured peace with Spain, and others, led by the Earl of Essex, who favoured war. Censorship and propaganda: The premise that Tudor monarchs effectively deployed propaganda as a prominent political strategy has become a commonplace in studies of Tudor England, although to what end shifts with the interpretive winds. Ireland: When Elizabeth I succeeded her half-sister Mary as Queen of England in November 1558, she inherited a number of problems that would seriously test her ability to govern. New wine into old bottles: Elizabeth I inherited an island kingdom on the scattered western outskirts of Christendom which for little short of 1,000 years - indeed, almost until the moment of her birth in 1533 - had remained in thrall to the dominating influence of the church of Rome. Parish religion: That compact expression, 'self-government at the king's command', frequently applied to Tudor governance, might, by April 1559, equally be applied to parish religion for the Elizabethan act of Supremacy brought the Church once again under the authority of the crown, yet the practice of religion at the level of the parish was deeply informed by local customs, identities, boundaries and office-holders. Women: Successive generations of scholars in the twentieth century made bold yet contradictory assertions about the lives of women during the reign of Elizabeth. Family and household: When Sir Thomas Smith wrote his account of the government of England whilst serving as Elizabeth I's ambassador in France, he included a description of 'an house or familie'. Who killed Robin Hood?: 'Popular culture' continues to be an elusive quarry. Theatre: In Palladis Tamia, his 1598 survey of English cultural achievements, Francis Meres singles out Shakespeare for special distinction: ... Poetry: Verse permeated everyday life in Tudor England to a degree unknown in modern times. The visual arts: The visual arts in Elizabethan England have until relatively recently been held in what can only be describes as cultural disdain. England and Europe: In retrospect, the Elizabethan era was portrayed as a golden age, and successes, especially in defence against foreign invaders, were often taken for granted. The Catholic threat and the military response: When Elizabeth first succeeded to the throne in November 1558, the greatest threat posed by Catholicism concerned the legitimacy of her succession. Exploration, trade and empire: In the age of Elizabeth, the British empire included just Ireland, Wales, Scotland and several surrounding islands. Awareness and experiences of the outside world: Where did the outside world begin for the inhabitants of Elizabethan England? | |

The queen: Here, the emphasis has been on those aspects of the Queen's policies that fell within the royal prerogative and on the subject of her representation, all issues that have absorbed historians' attention whenever they have been "queen fixated". (Klik for at vise Advarsel: Kan indeholde afsløringer.)The council: By comparison, the smaller, more collegial English Privy Council, even if it did not assume as large a role in policy-making as Elton suggested, seeems to have been as, if not more, effective, a sign that, perhaps, less was more. (Klik for at vise Advarsel: Kan indeholde afsløringer.)Censorship and propaganda: In high politics such as these, "ruling" by propaganda (and censorship) would have been impossible, but propaganda and censorship could fashion Elizabeth as a fellow prince whose authority, embodies in her ambassadors and their diplomatic missions, could not be slighted. (Klik for at vise Advarsel: Kan indeholde afsløringer.) Women: A combination of the two allows the gulf between restrictive laws and a harsh patriarchal ideology on the one hand and a more complicated reality of female agency on the other not simply to be recognised, but to be explored and explained. (Klik for at vise Advarsel: Kan indeholde afsløringer.)Poetry: And in both literary and non-literary contexts the rhetoric-centre, metrically rigid tradition of mid-century verse maintained its popularity with poets and consumers alike, ion print and manuscript, for decades to come. (Klik for at vise Advarsel: Kan indeholde afsløringer.)Awareness and experiences of the outside world: English men and women were conscious of the wider world and their place within it as never before, and a combination of trade, exploration, seamanship and political skill - as well as literature - would place england at the forefront of global developments in succeeding centuries.
