BESTSELLER IN THE YORK TIMES
Queen Elizabeth I, maybe the most powerful monarch England has ever had, maintained her privacy throughout her reign, consulting her own counsel and not disclosing any information to anyone, not even her closest, most trusted advisors. Now, renowned biographer Alison Weir offers thought-provoking new interpretations and novel insights on this intriguing man in her very well-researched and captivating new book.
Weir explores the contrasts in Elizabeth I's character and debunks the mythology surrounding her against a rich background of spectacle and romance, intrigue and conflict. Though Elizabeth I was in love with the Earl of Leicester, did she want to kill his wife? Although she referred to herself as the Virgin Queen, how chaste was she after having several affairs? Was the bleak destiny of her mother, Anne Boleyn, connected to her decision to be unmarried and never marry? The Life of Elizabeth I is a captivating epic that is also a wonderfully personal portrayal, making it a captivating and breathtaking book to read.
