Description

Elizabeth's middle years steady England in the eighth volume of Froude's History, from 1856. The Protestant settlement takes firmer root across the realm. Drake and the sea dogs rise to fame on daring voyages and raids against Spain.

Froude writes the fifteen seventies and eighties with stirring pace. England finds its footing as a sea power and a Protestant state. Courtiers, sailors, and settlers all advance his broad national tale. The volume bridges the plot-haunted early reign and the Armada crisis ahead, showing a kingdom growing in wealth, confidence, and reach under its watchful queen.
