Serving at the Pleasure of the Queen: Staging Counsel in Elizabethan England With remarkable consistency, early modern historians blame Elizabeth's reign for engendering the circumstances that caused the English revolution. Historians of early modern political discourse and, more specifically, of political counsel argue that the Privy Council's increasing powers under Elizabeth fundamentally changed the structure of the monarchy from the imperial monarchy of Henry VIII to the mixed monarchy of Elizabeth I. By examining a range of Elizabethan texts about counsel, my project interrogates the assumption that the power and influence of counsel increased under Elizabeth I. I argue that while counselors' powers may have been increasing, counselors represented themselves in their own texts as powerless. In chapters one and two, I focus on texts written by Elizabethan counselors: In chapter one, I look at how the play Gorobduc or Ferrex and Porrex (1561) stages counsel for its audience of up-and-coming counselors and the political elite at the Inns of Court; and in chapter two, I focus on different historical perspectives on Elizabeth's relationship with her most well known counselor, William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and his own ambivalence about the role of counsel. Chapter three looks at the changing status of counsel in Spenser's 1590 and 1596 editions of The Faerie Queene. My final chapter looks at the afterlife of Elizabethan counsel as seen in a range of texts: from Francis Bacon and William Camden's histories of Elizabeth (1608 and 1615, respectively) to three plays, Thomas Dekker's The Whore of Babylon (1607) and William Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well (1604) and The Winter's Tale (1611).
