3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 29 Mar 2005
By Mrs. D. J. Smith "eowyngreenleaf" (Luton, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Elizabeth The Great (Paperback)
There is nothing really wrong with Elizabeth Jenkins' look at the life of Elizabeth I, but as I read on I felt there to be something lacking. It then dawned upon me that Jenkins was simply telling the story of Elizabeth's life and not including any sort of analysis. For example, she gives us some facts about the death of Amy Robsart, Lady Dudley, and says that many people at the time thought her husband had contrived her death, but she does not analyse the evidence or construct any sort of theory for what might have happened. This is only one example, but it makes the book feel rather lightweight and the reader somewhat cheated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - Purchase this at all costs!, 9 April 2001
By r.l.dempsey@bham.ac.uk (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elizabeth The Great (Paperback)
A wonderful read, worthwhile to the academic scholar and to the 'armchair' reader.

Whether you have read none, two or two hundred books about Elizabeth the First, this book will be a useful addition to your book collection. Taken from a rather unique persepctive, dispensing with the myths surrounding the enigmatic woman, the book uses a multitude of sources, to paint a vivid picture of the English Queen, so real that it would almost seem she were living, today. With its many tales of intrigue woven into what was a most spectacular reign, this book will make you realise exactly how interesting British History can be. Full of new and fascinating research (though it has been some years since it was published) it can even provide useful previously unknown information to even the most fervent of Elizabethan researchers. Definitely worth five stars, and an excellent companion to my most recent purchase - David Starkey's 'Elizabeth'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truely magnificent woman, 17 May 2008
By S. Smith - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Elizabeth The Great (Paperback)
A superb book. I have just finished reading it - it was rarely put down. It is written intelligently, and never patronises the reader. I had a real sense and understanding of Elizabeth. Ms Jenkins does not get caught up in romantic speculation about the whys and wherefores. Instead, events, key players etc are implicitly analysised. I cannot fault the writing. I highly recommend this book, and now intend reading her 'Elizabeth and Leicester'.
