Review
`Elizabeth I lived and died a virgin Queen and Susan Doran asks Why?. Grounded in exhaustive research in British and foreign records, her answers are surprising and compelling. Placing Elizabeth's courtships in context she shows Elizabeth would have married if she could have but religion, foreign relations, her ministers, her sense of political possibility and her love of Dudley created a muddle that prevented her. Superseding all other studies of Elizabeth's courtships this is an important book. Every historian of Tudor politics and everyone interested in Elizabeth Tudor's life will want to read this clear and definitive account.' - Norman Jones, Utah State University
'In studying the marriage negotiations of Queen Elizabeth I Dr Doran has chosen an important subject of great complexity ... This book is European in scope and offers a masterly contribution to the understanding of western European diplomacy over roughly two decades, 1559-1581.' - Professor N.M. Sutherland
'An authoritative and accessible study of Elizabeth I's marriage negotiations. It provides the definitive answer to the question of why Elizabeth remained single, and in so doing throws important light on many aspects of Elizabethan foreign policy and domestic politics.' - Christopher Durston
`This is an important study, overturning the easy generalization that Elizabeth's marriage negotiations were of no significance since she had always intended to remain a Virgin Queen. Susan Doran's detailed examination of each individual courtship shows convincingly just how serious these discussions were ... Her engaging book is enjoyable reading.' - Stanford Lehmberg, University of Minnesota
