Young Elizabeth by Nicola Tallis
Drawing on primary sources from both Elizabeth herself - including some from her own hand - and those closest to her during her tumultuous youth, this is the first fully comprehensive biography of the early life of Elizabeth I in over twenty years.
Nicola Tallis's biography of Margaret is a welcome and forthright riposte..[and] forms part of an important and growing area of scholarship on the significant involvement of women in fifteenth-century politics...A well-evidenced analysis of a fascinating woman...compelling. * The Times Literary Supplement *
A nuanced and realistic portrait of a formidable and multi-faceted woman. * Tudor Times *
This is a stunning debut from a young historian who deserves to be recognized as a major talent in her field. It’s history as it should be written, vivid, colorful, pacy and evocative, but above all authentic and based on sound and innovative research. It’s an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of Lady Jane Grey. Most warmly recommended! -- Alison Weir, Number One New York Times bestselling author
A pacy narrative, written with a clear love for and detailed knowledge of her subject. * The Spectator *
Tallis’s Elizabeth is a formidable character, fiercely intelligent and remarkably self-possessed. With the benefit of hindsight it seems obvious that she would grow up to become Gloriana. But this engaging and thoroughly researched account of her turbulent youth reminds us that she could easily have shared her mother’s gruesome fate — or lived out her days as just another resentful, red-headed spare. -- Katherine Harvey * The Times *
Colourful, fast-paced...Tallis has written a gripping account of Elizabeth's eventful journey to the crown. -- Nick Rennison * The Mail on Sunday *
