  As a woman wielding public authority, Elizabeth I embodied a paradox at the very center of sixteenth-century patriarchal English society. This title illuminates the ways in which the Queen and her subjects variously exploited or obfuscated this contradiction. It is suitable for historians, literary scholars, and art historians of the period.
