"Edward Gregg.. is completely equipped to write the definitive biography, and he has triumphantly succeeded." J.P. Kenyon, Times Literary Supplement "A thoughtful and... authoritative study, easily the best thing we have on the Queen." Angus McInnes, History "The best kind of biography, scholarly but sympathetic, as well as highly readable." The Observer "With the appearance of this volume, a generation of revision in Queen Anne studies comes to fruition." Henry Horwitz, American Historical Review "Bold... startling... imaginative and persuasive... will command the attention of all students of the period." G.C. Gibbs, London Review of Books
