Zusammenfassung:First published in 1818 and subsequently frequently reprinted, "Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth" focuses on the art, literature, manners and morals of the period, with brief biographies of important individuals. Drawing on published sources rather than archival material, it is a clear and readable narrative that reveals the author's critical insight. This social and personal rather than political approach to history was shared by many nineteenth-century women writers. Such writers stressed the role of women in history, rather than relegating them to the sidelines as most male historians did. This book gives us an in depth look at the court of Queen Elizabeth I from birth to death, wherein intrigues and deceits are given in great detail. Widely acclaimed to be one of the most accurate accounts, it features letters, quotes, and even sonnets from leading people of the day.
