520 |a This volume assesses the roles played by queens consort in early modern politics. It does so in three ways. First, it analyzes the specific forms of influence which they wielded. Second, it posits a new vocabulary with which to conduct that analysis, suggesting that the strict divide between categories of 'hard' and 'soft' power, or 'high' politics (policy, diplomacy, ideology) and cultural influences (making a political impact through the arts), with which scholars approach the political role of queens is anachronistic in the context of the courts in which they lived and operated. Third, it considers the extent to which the root of consorts' power lay within their dynastic networks.
