Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Elizabeth I survived to become queen by being very careful. The fact that she avoided being used or implicated by the various plots against her radically Protestant brother Edward VI, and fanatically Catholic sister Mary I, was a triumph in itself, and she never forgot the lesson that survival needed to be her first goal. What many of her contemporaries took for irritating womanly indecision was a refusal to be hurried; some situations change and some go away, but you can never escape the consequences of your actions--she protected Mary, Queen of Scots for as long as she could.
Alison Weir's new biography covers the facts well enough, but she understands Elizabeth's situation imaginatively, and that is what makes her book special. Elizabeth not only overcame the misogyny of the world she lived in--she exploited it; Weir's own feminism gives her insights into the canny role-playing that was so crucial to Elizabeth's chameleon nature. Everything had to be policy from wigs and fans to rack and gallows; this is a biography which understands not only what happened, but how it seemed and felt at the time. This is an excellent conclusion to Weir's series of Tudor biographies--popular history which brings good sense to bear on scholarly fact. --Roz Kaveney -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Some information about the book...
7. Januar 2008
I am supplying this information from the back cover of the book because Amazon does not supply any:
"This book begins as the young Elizabeth ascends the throne in the wake of her sister Mary's disastrous reign. Elizabeth is portrayed as both a woman and a queen, an extraordinary phenomenon in a patriarchal age. Alison 'Weir writes of Elizabeth's intriguing, long-standing affair with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, of her dealings - sometimes comical, sometimes poignant - with her many suiters, of her rivalry with Mary, Queen of Scots, and of her bizarre relationship with the Earl of Essex, thirty years her junior. Rich in detail, vivid and colorful, this book, the finest yet by one of our most popular and readable historians, comes, perhaps, as close as we shall ever get to knowing what Elizabeth I was like as a person."

Fantastic and Engagin Read
13. Juli 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm currently in the middle of reading this great historical read. I have read several of Alison Weirs other books and have found them all equally intriguing, captivating and well researched. I was a bit nervous about this book as I had read The Life of Elizabeth I and was afraid it would be incredibly similar. This however is not the case; this book is a unique view into the life of Elizabeth as a woman, a queen and the scandals of her life. I would highly suggest this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the life of an extraordinary monarch.

Excellent account of the life of a great woman!
30. März 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This book provides a well researched and balanced account of Elizabeth I's private and political life. Entertaining, thoughtful and provocative, this book is a real page turner. Alison Weir has a real knack for making historical biographies entertaining and educational. I can't wait to read her book about Elizabeth's rival, Mary Queen of Scots!
