Elizabethan England: From A Description of England (Illustrated Edition)

Elizabeth I (1533-1603), also known as the Virgin Queen, was the daughter of Henry VIII and the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Aside from a history of Queen Elizabeth I, Elizabethan England chronicles the fledgling British empire during the period of Elizabeths reign. Different chapters cover the Church, the land, the cities, the Navy, and more, making it a comprehensive look at life in England, as well as Englands place in the geopolitical setting of the day. The author, William Harrison (18 April 1534 24 April 1593), was an English clergyman whose Description of England was produced as part of the publishing venture of a group of London stationers who produced Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles (London 1577). This edition of Elizabethan England is illustrated with pictures of Elizabeth and more. A table of contents is also included for easier navigation.
