Anglo-german Relations and the Protestant Cause - Elizabethan Foreign Policy and Pan-protestantism

Informationen zum Autor David Gehring is Assistant Professor of Early Modern English History at the University of Nottingham Klappentext Challenging accepted notions of Elizabethan foreign policy, Gehring argues that the Queen's relationship with the Protestant Princes of the Holy Roman Empire was more of a success than has been previously thought. Based on extensive archival research, he contends that the enthusiastic and continual correspondence and diplomatic engagement between Elizabeth and these Protestant allies demonstrate a deeply held sympathy between the English Church and State and those of Germany and Denmark.
