Dean, David - Law-Making and Society in Late Elizabethan England~The Parliament of England, 1584-1601.pdf - Tudor Period related Ebooks - Waller1

In recent years, historians have begun to reassess the Elizabethan parliament.

David Dean's book contributes to this development by offering the first

detailed account and analysis of the legislative impulses of the men attending

the last six parliaments of Elizabeth's reign. Examining a wide range of social

and economic issues, law reform, religious and political concerns, and affairs

both national and local, Law-making and society in late Elizabethan England

addresses the importance of parliament both as a political event and as a

legislative institution. David Dean draws on an array of local, corporate and

personal archives, as well as parliamentary records, to reinterpret the legis-

lative history of the period, and in doing so develops a deeper understanding

of many aspects of Elizabethan England.
