Trade Review
"Levin breaks out of the usual stale biographical packaging of Elizabeth by using traditional sources in imaginative ways, as well as by incorporating a number of less usual texts." * Shakespeare Quarterly *
"Written in a lucid, often witty prose style, Carole Levin's volume. . . promises to become a classic of enduring interest to specialists and general readers alike." * Sixteenth Century Journal *
