Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart by Anka Muhlstein
Dual biography investigates perennial question for any ambitious woman: to marry or not to marry. In this major double biography, Anka Muhlstein examines the turbulent relationship between Elizabeth I of England and Mary, Queen of Scots. Uniquely at this time, both of the thrones of the British Isles were held by women, which brought the issue of royal marriages to the fore.
'It is a story that never fails to compelAnd it is always interesting to get a different perspective, as in the work of distinguished French historian, Anka Muhlstein, whose double biography is available for the first time in English, in a fine translation by John Brown. Muhlstein is an excellent writer: the book is effectively structured and easy to read, its characters vividly portrayed.' -- Linda Porter History Today
The historian Anka Muhlstein has published several monographs, inculding one of cavelier de la Salle, James Rothschild and about the three 'Temporary Queens': Catherine de Medici, Maria de Medici and Anne of Austria. In 1996 she was awarded the Prix Goncourt.
