Long description:
In The Excommunication of Elizabeth I, Aislinn Muller examines the excommunication and deposition of Queen Elizabeth I of England by the Roman Catholic Church, and its political afterlife during her reign. Muller shows that Elizabeth?s excommunication was a crucial turning point for both Catholics and Protestants, one that irrevocably changed attitudes towards the queen, widened political participation and resistance, and posed a destabilising threat to her regime. The Excommunication of Elizabeth I demonstrates how this event exacerbated religious tensions in England?s foreign and domestic politics, and how Elizabeth?s conflict with the papacy shaped the development of anti-Catholicism in post-Reformation England.

?The Excommunication of Elizabeth I presents an arresting narrative of queried legitimacy, reactive politics, and subversion that informs of the wider tumults of the revolutionary age and stands as an object lesson in maintaining cordial relations.?

Patrick J. Murray, in: Renaissance and Reformation, Vol. 44, No. 2 (2021), pp. 261?263.
