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. 606 $aCourtship$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aMonarchy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aQueens$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$y1558-1603 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCourtship$xHistory 615 0$aMonarchy$xHistory 615 0$aQueens 676 $a942.05/5/092 676 $aB 700 $aDoran$b Susan$0850830 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454566003321 996 $aMonarchy and Matrimony$92115101 997 $aUNINA
