Reviews
"A perceptive, suspenseful account of complex English history. . . . By the end of this satisfying book, one feels sympathy for both women, brave queens in an age when 'no one considered that a woman could effectively rule alone.' " - The New York Times Book Review "Elegant. . . . Dunn demythologizes Elizabeth and Mary. In humanizing their dynamic and shifting relationship, Dunn describes it as fueled by both rivalry and their natural solidarity as women in an overwhlemingly masculine world." -- Boston Herald "A balanced, nuanced, and eminently clear account. . . . Brilliantly conceived, elegantly executed, and compellingly readable." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "A wholly engrossing and sumptuous retelling of a tale that entered legend even before its protagonists were dead." -- Newsday From the Trade Paperback edition., "A perceptive, suspenseful account of complex English history. . . .

Synopsis
The first dual biography of two of the world's most remarkable women-Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots-by one of Britain's "best biographers" ( The Sunday Times ). In a rich and riveting narrative, Jane Dunn reveals the extraordinary rivalry between the regal cousins. It is the story of two queens ruling on one island, each with a claim to the throne of England, each embodying dramatically opposing qualities of character, ideals of womanliness (and views of sexuality) and divinely ordained kingship. As regnant queens in an overwhelmingly masculine world, they were deplored for their femaleness, compared unfavorably with each other and courted by the same men. By placing their dynamic and ever-changing relationship at the center of the book, Dunn illuminates their differences. Elizabeth, inheriting a weak, divided country coveted by all the Catholic monarchs of Europe, is revolutionary in her insistence on ruling alone and inspired in her use of celibacy as a political tool-yet also possessed of a deeply feeling nature. Mary is not the romantic victim of history but a courageous adventurer with a reckless heart and a magnetic influence over men and women alike. Vengeful against her enemies and the more ruthless of the two queens, she is untroubled by plotting Elizabeth's murder. Elizabeth, however, is driven to anguish at finally having to sanction Mary's death for treason. Working almost exclusively from contemporary letters and writings, Dunn explores their symbiotic, though never face-to-face, relationship and the power struggle that raged between them. A story of sex, power and politics, of a rivalry unparalleled in the pages of English history, of two charismatic women-told in a masterful double biography., The first dual biography of two of the world s most remarkable women Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots by one of Britain s best biographers ("The Sunday Times").

- a***t (164)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaExcellent seller! Easy to deal with, service was great, package was carefully wrapped, item looks to have been cleaned up, better than described, value is better than expected, shipping was perfect. This item means a lot to me, as it is exactly like one my son's father owned that had been handed down to my son when his father passed. My son wore it all the time and, sadly, lost it while swimming. It was a pleasure to deal with this seller!
- m***2 (1192)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaExcellent seller! Shipping was slow to no fault of the seller - USPS sent package to Guam by accident. Ring packaged well and no had damage considering shipping issue. Ring was exactly as described for a good price.
- r***4 (111)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThis other Pokemon e-reader card I’ve received was super nice. The card was shipped in a plastic baggie, but hopefully the card is in good shape. It was also sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, too. The shipping was fair. The card looked exactly like how it was pictured on the listing. I picked out this card alongside the other e-reader card, because I wanted to order them both together. It was worth the money I’ve spent. Another cool find, indeed. Great seller!! 😁👍🏻2003 Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire Version | Battle E-Card | Gentleman Nils ID 129-B001 (#276773675733)
