Bought for daughter's school project. Arrived on time. In great condition.

I am about to play Elizabeth I in a new play, the book helped expand my knowledge of the lady!
-
A very elegant account of this subject,and well worth having beside Lytton Strachey's flamboyant account of Elizabeth and Essex. I don't know the field well, but it seems to have stood the test of time.
-

-
A really good book, but written a long time ago.
