ELIZABETH WAS C R O W NED Q U E E M
at twenty-five, but it was only when she reached
fifty and all hopes of marriage were behind her
that she began to wield power in her own right.
For twenty-five years she had struggled to assert
her authority over her advisers, who urged her to
marry and produce an heir. Now, she was deter-
mined not only to reign but to rule.
In this groundbreaking biography, John Guy
introduces us to a mature woman who is refresh-
ingly unfamiliar: at once powerful and vulnerable,
willful and afraid. Elizabeth confronts challenges
at home and abroad: a ruinous war against the
Catholic powers of France and Spain, revolt in
Ireland, an economic crisis that triggers riots in
London, a conspiracy to place Mary Queen of
Scots on her throne. She reluctantly allows the
maverick Sir Walter Ralegh to set up a colony in
Virginia, and wonders whom she can really trust.
For a while she is smitten by a much younger
man, but can she allow herself to act on that
passion and still keep her throne?
For the better part of a decade John Guy
mined long-overlooked archives, decrypting
handwritten letters and parchment rolls to sweep
away myths and rumors. Diligent forensic work
enabled him to determine which of the thousands
of letters that went out under her name she actu-
ally wrote. At last we hear her in her own voice.
And for the first time we see the woman behind
the polished veneer, racked by insecurity, often
too anxious to sleep alone, voicing her own dis-
tinctive anxieties and concerns. Guy's propulsive
narrative captures with dramatic immediacy the
challenge of being both a woman and a queen. |
