Elizabeth I by Anne Somerset
Glitteringly detailed and engagingly written, the magisterial Elizabeth I brings to vivid life the golden age of sixteenth-century England and the uniquely fascinating monarch who presided over it. A woman of intellect and presence, Elizabeth was the object of extravagant adoration by her contemporaries. She firmly believed in the divine providence of her sovereignty and exercised supreme authority over the intrigue-laden Tudor court and Elizabethan England at large. Brilliant, mercurial, seductive, and maddening, an inspiration to artists and adventurers and the subject of vicious speculation over her choice not to marry, Elizabeth became the most powerful ruler of her time. Anne Somerset has immortalized her in this splendidly illuminating account.Anne Somerset was born in London and received her education at King's College. The Lives and Days of King William IV, Ladies in Waiting, and Elizabeth I are among her works. Antonia Fraser was one of the historians for whom she worked as a research assistant. Somerset, the 11th Duke of Beaufort's daughter, lives in London.
