The Queen's Mercy : Gender and Judgment in Representations of Elizabeth I Hardback
by M. Villeponteaux
Part of the Queenship and Power series
Hardback
Description
During the Elizabethan era, writers such as Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Daniel, and others frequently expounded on mercy, exploring the sources and outcomes of clemency.
This fresh reading of such depictions shows that the concept of mercy was a contested one, directly shaped by tensions over the exercise of judgment by a woman on the throne.
