«The Virgin Queen: The Personal History of Elizabeth I» is Christopher Hibbert's biography of Elizabeth I (Penguin, paperback, 304 pages, in English).
Christopher Hibbert paints a portrait of Elizabeth I as a contradictory monarch: intelligent, brave and manipulative, capable of ordering tortures and of sustaining her popularity until her death in 1603. The work shows the limitations of her power, a court divided into factions, her ministers' attempts to deceive her, and the backdrop of a turbulent era.
This Penguin paperback edition was published in 1992; the work had originally appeared in 1990.
For readers interested in the history of the British monarchy, the Tudor dynasty and biographies of royal figures.
