An acclaimed biography of Elizabeth I and an examination of the politics and intrigues of her Tudor court.
Elizabeth I ruled England in defiance of convention, exercising supreme authority in a man's world. With courage, brilliance and style, she reigned for nearly forty-five years. Anne Somerset's penetrating biography of this complex and uniquely gifted woman is unrivalled in its analysis of both Elizabeth's personal life and her career as leader.
I strongly recommend this book ... the writing is a delight * Daily Telegraph *
The most balanced and impartial of all Elizabeth's biographers. An excellent book * Sunday Times *
By applying herself industriously to the evidence, Anne Somerset presents a convincing as well as complex character at the centre of her long, but ever lucid narrative -- Antonia Fraser
The fullest and best biography of the queen since Sir John Neale's in 1934 * Times Literary Supplement *
