About This Item
This is a first printing of The Virgin Queen. Elizabeth I: Genius of the Golden Age. It was written in 1991 by the brilliant British 'pearl of biographers' Christopher Hibbert (1924-2008).
The Elizabethan Age was an era of larger-than-life characters, mostly men. But dominating them all-through guile and directness, through procrastination and force of will, through intelligence and instinct, through a cagey brittleness and a feminine strength-was Queen Elizabeth. A skilled politician who escaped attempts on her life, saved lives and sent many to their deaths, she was a fascinating enigma. And in this biography, Hibbert focuses on Elizabeth the person, rather than solely on Elizabeth the Queen.
287 pages, with lots of photos. Unclipped dust jacket.
