Elizabeth I (Penguin Monarchs) : A Study in Insecurity, Paperback / softback Book

Elizabeth I (Penguin Monarchs) : A Study in Insecurity Paperback / softback

Part of the Penguin Monarchs series

Paperback / softback

Description

'The experience of insecurity, it turned out, would shape one of the most remarkable monarchs in England's history' In the popular imagination, as in her portraits, Elizabeth I is the image of monarchical power.

But this image is as much armour as a reflection of the truth.

In this illuminating account of England's iconic queen, Helen Castor reveals her reign as shaped by a profound and enduring insecurity that was a matter of both practical politics and personal psychology.
