Elizabeth I is probably the most famous English woman ever to have
lived. She has been celebrated as a great stateswoman, during whose
reign England acquired some degree of security in the troubled
European arena and at the same time began to lay the foundations
for its future empire. She presided over a country undergoing a
cultural renaissance previously unimagined. By the time of her
death at the age of seventy in 1603, she was being heralded as
rival to the Virgin Mary, as a second Queen of Earth and Heaven, as
a woman more than mortal women. She has provided subject-matter for
innumerable books: seventy biographies have appeared since 1890 and
it is impossible to list the enormous number of historical novels
based on some part of her life.However, among the many books
written about Elizabeth I there is none like this one: Bassnett
looks at the life and achievements of Elizabeth from a
twentieth-century feminist perspective and considers her as writer,
politician, scholar and woman. As a result she succeeds in
presenting a more rounded portrait of a figure who has fascinated
successive generations but whose private and public life has
frequently been the subject of fantasy and speculation.
