The Anglophone world has spread the belief that the “defeat” of the Spanish Armada was the beginning of Spanish decadence and England’s/Britain’s first serious step towards the world power status. However, how much truth is there in this view of English historiography and literature? What was Elizabeth I and Sir Francis Drake’s real role in this process of glorification of the English/British race and deification of its alleged protagonists? These are the chiaroscuros of history that this book tries to rethink.
