Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

`A new approach to historical biography - she has studied both the original sources and recent works of scholarship and has a thorough understanding of the period.' SUNDAY TIMES `A compelling portrait-'ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW Until Maria Perry began her exploration of Elizabeth's papers, this vivid raw material had only been partially studied. From it, a fresh portrait of Elizabeth emerges, one which is often more cohesive and less baffling than some offered by her biographers. The dangers and insecurities of her early life, her sense of divine protection, her formidable education, all stand out as crucial elements in the formation of her character; but behind the acquired circumspection lies a personality of great warmth and spirit. The earliest letter to survive was written to her stepmother Katherine Parr, in Italian, when she was ten years old; her last words to be formally recorded are two moving speeches to parliament at the end of her reign. In between, her own words illuminate her relations with her family, and with Mary Queen of Scots. She reflects on the nature of kingship, performs miraclesof circumlocution to achieve diplomatic ends and communicates her feelings to her inner circle of trusted friends. On the teasing questions of love, marriage and virginity, the letters and speeches do offer oblique comment: it seems certain that Robert Dudley was her one true love, and that she felt his second marriage to Lettice Knollys as a bitter betrayal. MARIA PERRY is an actress and writer. The inspiration for this book, for which she was awardeda British Academy research grant, derives from `The Speeches of Queen Elizabeth I', performed to great acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic by the Poetry People. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
