Proceedings in the Parliaments of Elizabeth I, Vol. 2 1585-1589 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

Proceedings in the Parliaments of Elizabeth I is a major project which aims to make available the source materials collected by the late Professor Sir John Neale in the course of writing his classic work, Elizabeth I and her Parliaments. Neale had long hoped that the full richness of these sources – of which he made only partial use – would be made widely known. The documents cover a broader range of topics, notably of economic and social interest, than Neale dealt with in his study, and also reflect the preoccupation of individual localities with their own particular interests. This collection of documents is a further stage in the publication of material relating to proceedings in Elizabeth’s parliaments, and follows the first volume of “Proceedings” covering the sessions up to and including that of 1581.
