Synopsis
No other woman in world history has been of such compulsive interest as Elizabeth Tudor. While the rest of the 16th century Europe was subject to the bloodshed of religious war, Tudor peace brought England its great flowering of the arts. Central to that flowering was the enigmatic legend of the Queen herself, a myth deliberately created and sustained over four decades by public spectacle and courtly chivalry, by private sonnet and official oration.

From the Publisher
A unique and lavishly illustrated study by the bestelling author of THE STORY OF BRITAIN - essential reading for anyone interested in the Elizabethan era.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Fine job, 25 Sep 2002 By  Susan R. Batten - See all my reviews This is a must-have reference for any Elizabeth-lover. The pictures are glorious and the concept intriguing. As the author doesn't go into too much detail about actual historical events, times and places(assuming that his readers already know the basics) I would recommend this as a supplamentary material to someone who has already done some reading on the period. It's not exactly an intro guide to Liz. However, it has a fantastic place on the shelf for any researcher.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
