Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Elizabeth, Queen of England A far greater sovereign than woman was Eliza beth of England. Inheriting grave defects of charac ter, she developed commanding qualities of mind. Intriguing, lying, courting flattery, she carried on a series of amours while governing her land with rare sagacity, never allowing her chamber-maid's heart to influence her statesman's head. Ascending the throne at a time when the world was witnessing the begin nings of a terrible convulsion she dexterously piloted her own realm past threatening disaster into a period of unexampled prosperity and splendor. Ignoring her faults, grievous as they were, England calls her its Virgin Queen and renders her homage as one of its greatest rulers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Elizabeth These were not creditable proceedings to submit to the judgment of'the English people. They were not attached to Catherine, and they ardently wished for a male successor to the throne. They had not sympathised with the King's foreign policy, and they longed to be free from its complications, and manage their national concerns in peace. They had no love for the Pope, and wished priests and monks to be reduced to their due place in the new society which was slowly coming into existence. They were desirous of more common-sense and simplicity in religious matters, and had little sympathy with the old-fashioned pretentiousness of the Churchmen. They were quite willing that the King should manage his personal matters as he thought best, provided he left them in peace. But still, when all had been done and settled, they shook their heads, and felt that there had been at work an amount of.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intolerance in the Reign of Elizabeth: Queen of England IN the preparation of this study the writer has attempted to make the text interesting and intelligible to the average reader. He has, therefore, relegated the dry bones and paraphernalia of study to the footnotes and a bibliograph ical appendix. The material for the reign of Elizabeth is so voluminous, however, that footnotes and bibliography are not complete. The footnotes do not represent all the material upon which statements in the text are based, but the writer believes that the authorities given amply sup port the opinions and conclusions there expressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Courtships of Queen Elizabeth: A History of the Various Negotiations for Her Marriage That a strong modern England was rendered possible mainly by the boldness, astuteness, and activity of Elizabeth at the critical turning-point of European history is generally admitted; but how masterly her policy was, and how entirely personal to herself, is even yet perhaps not fully understood. I have therefore endeavoured in this book to follow closely from end to end one strand only of the com plicated texture, in the hope that I may succeed by this means in exhibiting the general process by which England, under the guidance of the great Tudor Queen, was able to emerge regenerated and triumphant from the struggle which was to settle the fate of the world for centuries to come.

Download or read book Two Historical Plays on the Life and Reign of Queen Elizabeth Classic Reprint written by Thomas Heywood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Historical Plays on the Life and Reign of Queen Elizabeth The first part, (which we may call The Troubles of Queen Elizabeth as it has come down to us, can only be considered the fragment of a play, and, upon evidence we shall adduce presently, we may assume that it found its way to the press by means of short hand notes, taken m the theatre while the drama was in a course of representation. Why the author did not think it worth while, in any subsequent impression, to render it more complete, we know not. The second part, which deals with the events of Elizabeth's reign, as our readers will perceive, is much more perfect, and runs out to a much greater length: from that, we feel persuaded, nothing important was omitted. When, therefore, Heywood printed, in his Pleasant Dialogues and Dramas, 8vo, 1637, (p. 248) the follow ing Prologue and Epilogue, he must have intended them, and the introduction to them, to apply only to the first part, The Troubles of Queen Elizabeth, beginning in her minority, and ending with her accession to the royal throne, a potent Queen, in November, 1558.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parish Life Under Queen Elizabeth: An Introductory Study My object in this little book is to present a broad picture of Elizabethan life. I have called it an Introductory Study, as it would require a larger volume than this to deal with the details of such a complicated subject. The book is intended for the general reader, who may wish to know some thing of how the Elizabethan Reformation affected the every-day life of the people. As there is so much in dispute, I have thought it best to add references, and these may be of some aid to students of the period: In addition, they will serve to give some support to my posit'wns and to clear the air amid the dust of controversy. I have done my best to eliminate prejudice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Elizabeth: By W. Llewellyn In a review of the state of England, written in the year 1585, Lord Burghley describes the Queen as for her own person inwardly loved by all that loved God, and professed true religion;' and the realm 'in outward shew by order of Justice, obedient, and disposed to peace.' The people, he said, 'were generally rich and able to endure all reasonable charges for the national defence;' and a 'great multitude, gentlemen, merchants, and vulgar people, especially in good towns where they were taught by discreet preachers, were very zealous towards God, and earnestly bent to all service for her Majesty's safety.' Protestantism, on the Continent, had brought with it war and misery. In England, the affinity between the more genuine creed and material prosperity, had opportunity to show itself.
