Even after his death, Rowse has remained the Grand Old Man of Elizabethan studies, and after reading this, it's really not hard to see why. The depth of erudition he displays is matched only by his humour and common sense, and by the wonderful fluidity of his prose. There is an undercurrent to his prose, though, a certain aspect to his views of women, of non-Anglican Christianity, of the working classes, which I think ties the work in quite clearly to its publication date of 1950, and shows authorial influence too clearly for a history book (and anyone who has spent any time in academic circles will know of Rowse's personal reputation). A shame with a history book as good as this; and yet still, I am sure, one that will be read for many more years regardless geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The Elizabethan Age is arguably that greatest in English history. Furthermore it is not something dead and apart from us: it is alive and all around us. England contains the visible memorials of Elizabethan society: the houses they built; the objects they cherished; the patterns they imposed upon the very landscape. Rowse's classic study is a detailed account of that society and tradition from the lowest social class to the men and women who governed the realm. This reissue of Rowse's famously vivid portrayal of the Elizabethan world is complemented by a major introduction from Christopher Haigh which offers both a reflection on Rowse's masterpiece and an assessment of the Elizabethan Age.
