Elizabeth Jenkins illuminates in great detail the personal and private life of Elizabeth I. Was she bald? What precisely was her sex-life? What were her emotional attachments? No other biography provides such a personal study of the Queen and her court - their daily lives, concerns, topics of conversation, meals, living conditions, travels, successes and failures - and it also places them firmly within the historical context of 16th Century Britain. This is an authoritative history of the period enlightened by a thorough understanding of Elizabethian society and an intimate portrait of the Queen.
