Death of the Queen: Power Politics in the Elizabethan Era (1568~1590)
by Du Xuanying
About This Novel
On February 8, 1587, the moment the ax fell, it not only severed the neck of the former Queen of Scots, Mary Stuart, but also shattered the mask of the absolute royal power of Queen Elizabeth I of England. This book examines the execution of Mary Queen of Scots in 1587 and the political aftermath from the perspective of information control, and analyzes the multiple power crises under the surface of Elizabeth I's reign: the passivity of information channels, the failure of party checks and balances, the political marginalization of the female court, and the anxiety and resistance of male bureaucrats to female rule. The flow of power under information control will reinterpret the monarch-subordinate order and regime transformation in early modern England.
