Biography

Wallace T. MacCaffrey (1920–2013) was Professor Emeritus of History at Harvard University, where he twice chaired the department after earlier teaching at UCLA and Haverford College. A Guggenheim Fellow and doyen of Elizabethan political history, he is remembered for a narrative trilogy—The Shaping of the Elizabethan Regime; Queen Elizabeth and the Making of Policy, 1572–1588; and Elizabeth I: War and Politics, 1588–1603—that linked court politics to parliamentary and confessional pressures. His one-volume Elizabeth I for Edward Arnold (1993) distilled that scholarship for student readers.
