Abstract

Some years ago, in the final chapters of his rather romanticized history of Elizabeth I's reign, Elizabeth and Leicester, Milton Waldman recounted the dramatic breach between Elizabeth and her favorite, Robert Dudley, the earl of Leicester, over his acceptance of absolute rule in the Netherlands. Waldman depicts Leicester's enthusiastic support for the Protestant cause, bridled by Elizabeth's reluctance to support religious extremism. Leicester's heroism emerges in Waldman's story of his reception in the Netherlands.
