SECONDHAND BOOKS | BIOGRAPHY

In this remarkable biography, Carolly Erickson brings Elizabeth I to life and allows us to see her as a living, breathing, elegant, flirtatious, diplomatic, violent, arrogant, and outrageous woman who commands our attention, fascination, and awe. With the special skill for which she is acclaimed, Carolly Erickson electrifies the senses as she evokes with total fidelity the brilliant colors of Elizabethan clothing and jewelry, the texture of tapestries, and even the close, perfumed air of castle rooms. Erickson demonstrates her extraordinary ability to discern and bring to life psychological and physical reality.

1983, First edition. A very good copy only marked by light rubbing of the board edges and a previous owners bookplate on the front free endpaper. The d/w is unclipped and near fine with light sun fading of the spine.
