Beskrivning
This book tells the life story of Annas Keith, Countess of Moray and Argyll using her own archive of materials preserved in private and public institutions. Annas’ central position within noble networks spans the personal reign of Mary, Queen of Scots through the minority of James VI. She exercised agency through in all spheres of public life: finance, the law, religion, and politics. She also negotiated support within and beyond Scotland during moments of personal and familial crisis.Challenging gendered expectations of female power, the book analyses the agency of noblewomen in early modern Scotland, recovering their economic, social and political power. It also offers new detail for our understanding of noblewomen’s normative world, their households and their lived experience.
