“This exciting collection brings together a wonderfully varied selection of case studies which shed new light on the role that powerful women played in the early modern period, when the Age of Discovery opened up new global vistas in terms of trading links and colonial expansion. All too often the narrative of this period has been focused on male exploration and imperial ambition but this volume puts women squarely in the picture by demonstrating their active engagement in colonization, piracy and trade.” (Elena Woodacre, Senior Lecturer in Early Modern European History, University of Winchester, UK)
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.
