  Elizabeth 1 ruled England in defiance of convention, exercising supreme authority in a man's world. With courage, brilliance and style, she reigned for nearly forty-five years.

By applying herself industriously to the evidence, Anne Somerset presents a convincing as well as complex character at the centre of her long, but ever lucid narrative Antonia Fraser I strongly recommend this book...the writing is a delight Daily Telegraph The fullest and best biography of the queen since Sir John Neale's in 1934 Times Literary Supplement
