Susan Doran argues that the cult of the `Virgin Queen' was invented by her ministers, and that Elizabeth was forced into celibacy by political necessity. Doran's detailed examination of the different suits is based on extensive archival research across Europe. Rather than focusing on Elizabeth's personality and image, she views the question within a wider political and religious context. She shows how the question of Elizabeth's marriage was divisive for England, affecting both political life and international relations, and provoking popular propaganda in the form of plays, poetry and paintings.CourtshipGreat BritainHistory16th centuryMonarchyGreat BritainHistory16th centuryQueensGreat BritainBiographyGreat BritainForeign relations1558-1603Great BritainForeign relationsEuropeElectronic books.CourtshipHistoryMonarchyHistoryQueens942.05/5/092BDoran Susan850830FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910454566003321Monarchy and Matrimony2115101UNINA
