Opis

Examines the careers and political thinking of Elizabethan martial men, whose military ambitions were thwarted by a quietist foreign policy.

Recenzje

'Rapple's book must be commended for forcibly reminding us once again that Elizabeth's twin realms of England and Ireland should not be studied in isolation from each other, as has so often been the case.' Paul Hammer, Journal of British Studies
