In this biography of Elizabeth I, the author focuses on Elizabeth's career as a practising politician, taking into account her testing personal experience, her temperament and her own view of her role. The book also provides an understanding of the private persona of Elizabeth Tudor.

Revue de presse: ...surely the most important [biography] since Neale's appeared nearly sixty years ago...gives us a persuasive picture of the queen, sympathetic but wholly without hagiography? (History)

Now at last it [Sir John Neale's 1934 biography of Elizabeth I] faces an academic challenge. (The Times Higher Education Supplement)

The strength of Professor MacCaffrey's treatment lies in the clarity with which he presents the portrait of Elizabeth as policy maker, and her strengths and weaknesses in that capacity. As a public figure his skills do justice to her role. (Archive for Reformation History)

Shrewd Judgements are numerous, and the narrative incorporates subtle analyses of events, personalities, and the relationships between them. (Journal of Modern History)
