Critics Review
“We cannot get enough of Queen Elizabeth I. For four centuries her image—a blend of courage, vanity, power, and fathomless cunning—has exercised an almost unique fascination. Clark Hulse’s lively and learned catalogue places the emphasis exactly where it belongs: on Elizabeth’s lifelong fashioning of her own legend. Her rule, and, as she well understood, her survival depended upon her ability to control her representations. Elizabeth I: Ruler and Legend provides a generous sampling of these representations and allows us to gaze upon her with wonder.” — Stephen Greenblatt, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University
