Produktinformationen zu „Colonization, Piracy, and Trade in Early Modern Europe / Queenship and Power (PDF)“
This collection brings together essays examining the international influence of queens, other female rulers, and their representatives from 1450 through 1700, an era of expanding colonial activity and sea trade. As Europe rose in prominence geopolitically, a number of important women-such as Queen Elizabeth I of England, Catherine de Medici, Caterina Cornaro of Cyprus, and Isabel Clara Eugenia of Austria-exerted influence over foreign affairs. Traditionally male-dominated spheres such as trade, colonization, warfare, and espionage were, sometimes for the first time, under the control of powerful women. This interdisciplinary volume examines how they navigated these activities, and how they are represented in literature. By highlighting the links between female power and foreign affairs, Colonization, Piracy, and Trade in Early Modern Europe contributes to a fuller understanding of early modern queenship.

Pressezitat
“A fascinating collection of scholarly articles about the role of Queens and other powerful women in trade, finance and foreign affairs during the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. … The book is a valuable contribution to the study of queenship, revealing the full range of activities undertaken by early modern royal women.” (royalhistorian.com, February, 2018)“This edited volume offers a number of case studies exemplifying how not only queen consorts and regents across Europe, but also women from more humble backgrounds, entered these spheres and showed themselves competent rulers, diplomats, and patrons of overseas exploration. … This edited collection is likely to appeal to scholars of royal studies and early modern diplomacy, and students of (political) history and gender studies.” (Nadia T. van Pelt, Journal of the Northern Renaissance, northernrenaissance.org, November, 2017)
