Viac o knihe

Long considered the definitive biography of the great Tudor Queen, this scholarly and immensely readable book won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Biography and has been translated into nine languages.It is one of the first works of history to receive both scholarly and popular acclaim -- testimony, indeed, to both its authority and readability. Exploring every aspect of Elizabeth's life and rule--her shrewd policies at home and abroad--Professor Neale establishes the fact that she was unique as a strong-minded, independent woman ruling in an age of exclusively masculine power.
