About this book
Reviews
“This lively and comprehensive book provides a wealth of information about the queenship of Elizabeth I, but it is also accessible, engaging, entertaining, and often surprising. Researched with a detective’s painstaking attention to archival detail that characterizes all of Levin’s work, The Reign and Life of Queen Elizabeth I demonstrates that there are still new revelations to be uncovered about this fascinating monarch. Information about Elizabeth and the wide net she cast that has been neglected or overlooked is highlighted here, alongside attention to events and issues that were relevant in the sixteenth century and still resonate today. Students and scholars at every level and early modern enthusiasts in general will find this book an invaluable resource for opening up fresh doorways to Elizabeth and her world.”
—Jo Carney, The College of New Jersey, USA
"A result of Levin’s nonpareil archival research and decades of her seminal scholarship on Queen Elizabeth I, this book situates meticulously researched facts about Elizabeth’s queenship within broader political, religious, social, and cultural issues, developments, and events. The Reign and Life of Queen Elizabeth I is both an encyclopedia and textbook, and it will serve as an invaluable asset for teachers, students, and scholars alike. This book is a treasury of new information that clarifies and illuminates the historical record and brings Elizabeth’s world to life like never before.”—Anna Riehl Bertolet, Auburn University, USA
“An elegant journey through Elizabeth I’s reign, queenship, and life, this volume is divided into sections that explore privy councilors, ranking statesmenand churchmen, and personal friends. Fresh substance and original insights encountered here prove there is still more to learn about this Tudor queen. Its format makes it useful in the classroom with a variety of independent essays. A crowning achievement of scholarship and archival sleuthing.”—Renee Bricker, University of North Georgia, USA
