War and politics in the Elizabethan counties

ISBN: 9780719083006 出版年：2017 页码：283 Neil Younger Manchester University Press

Reassesses the national war effort during the Elizabethan wars against Spain (1585–1603). Drawing on a mass of hitherto neglected sources, it finds a political system in much better health than has been thought, revising many existing assumptions about the weaknesses of the state in the face of military change.
