English historical documents. Volume V(A), 1558-1603 by Ian W. Archer
For students of Elizabethan and Jacobean literary history*, this volume (and its companion volumes in the larger series) offers a compendium of important documents of the time which touch on a very broad range of topics and interests, from both private life and public life, government and society, the arts, education, religion, politics and economics. This is an essential reference work in the field of Elizabethan English history and literature.

In only this volume alone, examples of its 493 invaluable entries (referenced by their Key number in the volume's inventory) of particular interest include:
