An elegant and magisterial new biography of Her Majesty The Queen,
tracing the events of a reign that now spans seven decades, and
evaluating her achievement as a practitioner of monarchy across the
entirety of her reign. For millions of people, both in Britain and
across the world, Elizabeth II is the embodiment of monarchy. Her
long life spans nearly a century of national and global history,
from a time before the Great Depression to the era of Covid-19. Her
reign embraces all but seven years of Britain's postwar history;
she has been served by fifteen UK prime ministers from Churchill to
Johnson, and witnessed the administrations of thirteen US
presidents from Truman to Trump. The vast majority of Britons
cannot remember a world without Elizabeth II as head of state and
the Commonwealth. In this brand-new new biography of the
longest-reigning sovereign in British history, Matthew Dennison
traces her life and reign across an era of unprecedented and often
seismic social change. Stylish in its writing and nuanced in its
judgements, The Queen charts the joys and triumphs as well as the
disappointments and vicissitudes of a remarkable royal life; it
also assesses the achievement of a woman regarded as the champion
of a handful of 'British' values endorsed - if no longer practised
- by the bulk of the nation: service, duty, steadfastness, charity
and stoicism.
