Elizabeth the Great
Elizabeth the Great | Elizabeth Jenkins
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Elizabeth Jenkins illuminates in great detail the personal and private life of Elizabeth 1. Was she bald? What precisely was her sex-life? What were her emotional attachments?No other biography provides such a personal study of the Queen and her court - their daily lives, concerns, topics of conversation, meals, living conditions, travels, successes and failures - but it also places them firmly within the historical context of 16th Century Britain. An authoritative history of the period enlightened by a through understanding of Elizabethan society and an intimate portrait of the Queen.

Playing some catch up.. Again lol
This one is overall good. Very well written and researched. Focuses a little too much on her love interests /drama surrounding her love interests but definitely still a good read and she does touch on many other things surrounding her rule including the economy, money, international relations, clothes, and even a little speculation on her state of mind at certain periods of time.
