Review of Carol Levin, The Reign and Life of Queen Elizabeth I: Politics, Culture, and Society (Palgrave MacMillan, 2022)
Carole Levin’s contribution is a move away from a recent focus on cultural aspects of Elizabeth’s reign, such as Cole’s The Portable Queen: Elizabeth I and the Politics of Ceremony (University of Massachusetts Press, 2000) or very specific investigations of aspects of the queen herself, an example being Evans’ interdisciplinary The Language of Queen Elizabeth I: a sociolinguistic perspective on royal style and identity (Blackwell, 2013), to a broad view of Elizabeth in both her political and her private context.
