Book Reviews of The Life of Elizabeth I

Book Review: Elizabeth I - Alive and Well
Summary: 4 Stars

Weir does not approach her subject as an academician. This isn't to say that the information within her book is inaccurate, or not backed by extensive research. Rather, Weir is more intent on establishing Elizabeth as a person, rather than a historical relic. Her attempt is to fill Elizabeth with flesh and blood. And this she succeeds at, beautifully.

I'm sure that there are more academically detailed analysis of Elizabeth I, but I doubt there are any more human.
