Elizabeth I
Anne Somerset
Anchor
Glitteringly detailed and engagingly written, the magisterial <b>Elizabeth I</b><i> </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.<br /><br /><b>BONUS MATERIAL: </b>This ebook edition includes an excerpt from Anne Somerset's <i>Queen Anne</i>.
