Published in 1967, these two volumes combine the traditions of the
annalistic style with the exacting requirements of modern
scholarship to provide scholars of the fifteenth century with what
remains, forty years after its first publication, the most
exhaustive account of the reign of Edward IV. Again, and again her
intensive researches allow the author to throw new light on obscure
points, or to put some casual reference in chronicles or letters
into its true relation.

Edward IV, (1442-1483) was King of England from 4 March 1461 until
3 October 1470, and again from 11 April 1471 until his death on 9
April 1483. In a turbulent world marred by civil war, Edward, 4th
Duke of York-with good title to the throne-overthrew the corrupt
government of the weak and feeble-minded Henry VI, setting the
foundation stones for a strong and prosperous England. He was an
able and successful king who rescued England from the misery of war
and created her with a firm, judicious and popular government. Like
his grandson, Henry VIII, he was tall and handsome as a young man.
Also like his grandson he was pleasure-loving, and in his later
years he was increasingly arbitrary and avaricious. Notwithstanding
this, he proved capable of creating a successful and highly
personal monarchy which in many ways set the scene for the Tudor
monarchs who ruled throughout the sixteenth century through the
bloodline of his eldest daughter, Elizabeth. Cora L. Scofield's two
volumes are a magisterial record of this reign. Although other
biographies have appeared, none have replaced this solid work of
scholarship.In his authoritative and best-selling biography of
Edward IV in 1975, Professor Charles Ross said '. ..my attempt
...has necessarily involved some foreshortening, and for details
one must still refer to Miss C. L. Scofield's elaborate ...account
of Yorkist foreign policy.'
