Queen Elizabeth I

About this book

A scholarly and immensely readable, award-winning biography of the monarch known as the "Virgin Queen."
This has long been considered the classic biography of the great Tudor Queen. It is one of the first works of history to receive both scholarly and popular acclaim—testimony, indeed, to both its authority and readability. It has won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Biography and has been translated into nine languages.
Exploring every aspect of Elizabeth's life and rule—her shrewd policies at home and abroad—Professor Neale establishes the fact that she was unique as a strong-minded, independent woman ruling in an age of exclusively masculine power.

"There can be no doubt about its scholarship.Ā .Ā .Ā . Merely as a tour de force the book is a remarkable performance." — American Historical Review
