Here then is the only trustworthy collection of the various genres of Elizabeths writings.. A fine edition which will be indispensable to all those interested in Elizabeth I and her reign. Susan Doran,History. This long-awaited and masterfully edited volume contains nearly all of the writings of Queen Elizabeth I: the clumsy letters of childhood, the early speeches of a fledgling queen, and the prayers and poetry of the monarchs later years. The first collection of its kind, Elizabeth I reveals brilliance on two counts: that of the Queen, a dazzling writer and a leading intellect of the English Renaissance, and that of the editors, whose copious annotations make the book not only essential to scholars but accessible to general readers as well.This collection shines a light onto the character and experience of one of the most interesting of monarchs. . . .

An intriguing and intense portrait of a woman who figures so importantly in the birth of our modern world.?Publishers WeeklyAn admirable scholarly edition of the queens literary output. . . . This anthology will excite scholars of Elizabethan history, but there is something here for all of us who revel in the English language.?John Cooper, Washington Times Substantial, scholarly, but accessible. . . .
