Product Description

The Times Higher Education Supplement
Now at last it [Sir John Neale's 1934 biography of Elizabeth I] faces an academic challenge.

Review
...surely the most important [biography] since Neale's appeared nearly sixty years ago...gives us a persuasive picture of the queen, sympathetic but wholly without hagiography? (History )

Now at last it [Sir John Neale's 1934 biography of Elizabeth I] faces an academic challenge. (The Times Higher Education Supplement )

The strength of Professor MacCaffrey's treatment lies in the clarity with which he presents the portrait of Elizabeth as policy maker, and her strengths and weaknesses in that capacity. As a public figure his skills do justice to her role. (Archive for Reformation History )

Shrewd Judgements are numerous, and the narrative incorporates subtle analyses of events, personalities, and the relationships between them. (Journal of Modern History )

4.0 out of 5 stars Elizabeth Rules, 14 Oct 2003
By Budge Burgess (Kilmarnock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
MacCaffrey takes a refreshing look at Elizabeth. A number of biographies have tended to focus on Elizabeth the woman, picking out the genealogical and succession problems of a female ascending the throne - Elizabeth the woman versus Elizabeth the queen. This biography explores the political dimension - in an era before party politics it is simplistic to dismiss the 'political' nature of the struggle for the throne and for control of power. MacCaffrey offers a corrective to the dynastic / aristocratic power struggle by considering the practical nature of political intrigue.
