| Sažetak: | It is an excusable simplification of history to say that the House of Commons as we know it today evolved during the sixteenth century. From a backwater in the medieval constitution it grew sufficiently in stature and scope to challenge even the Crown in the civil wars of the next century. In this detailed description of the Commons during the longest, most eventful reign of the century, the brilliant author of Queen Elizabeth I examines the election of its members, analyses that membership, and takes a close look at procedure, including even the style of speaking adopted there. He uses his findings to give a broad, colourful view of the social fabric of Elizabethan England, and the result is an intriguing, invaluable study of a great parliamentary age. |
