description: In recent years, new scholarship has thoroughly revised our view of both the political and cultural histories of late Elizabethan and Stuart England. This book integrates recent work by historians and scholars in these related disciplines into an original interpretation of how political culture developed during this eventful period. R. Malcolm Smuts emphasizes the diversity of cultural perspectives available in the period; the role played by honor, law, divine providence and humanist scholarship; and the profound importance of religious tensions in shaping political imagination.
