The Queen's Mercy : Gender and Judgment in Representations of Elizabeth I : Palgrave Macmillan : 9781349475773 : 1349475777 : 24 Jul 2014 : During the Elizabethan era, writers such as Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Daniel, and others frequently expounded on mercy, exploring the sources and outcomes of clemency.
