Explore the intersection of military ambition and political maneuvering in Elizabethan England with “Martial Power and Elizabethan Political Culture.” This insightful study by Rory Rapple delves into the lives of English martial men, whose careers and aspirations were thwarted by Queen Elizabeth I’s cautious foreign policy. Discover their frustration, unemployment, and downward mobility, and uncover a hidden literature of complaint that criticized the monarch and Sir William Cecil’s administration. The book also examines the impact of these frustrations on English actions and attitudes in Ireland. Essential reading for scholars of early modern British and Irish history, this work offers a compelling perspective on the challenges faced by military leaders and their influence on political culture. An important addition to Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History.
