  • "Elizabeth I of England, imposing in her role as sovereign, took unprecedented political action in the Europe of the sixteenth century. The Protestant queen faced Catholics and Calvinists in her country and in many of the neighboring states, was matched against Mary Stuart and Philip II, winning by intelligence and courage, while spoiling a plot against her and arming a large army. On her deathbed she goes over the deeds for which she was feared and revered, but among these memories there is room for her loved ones, such as her faithful servant Walsingham or her lover, Robert Dudley, killed in the battle against the Armada. Years later, Lettice, the lawful wife of Dudley, emotionally and without rancor, tells her grandchildren the story of the great queen. Known as the Virgin Queen for her refusal to marry, Elizabeth has gone down in history as a ruthless ruler. Margaret George, in this story told in two voices, demolishes the myth of Elizabeth I as a cold and dispassionate woman to reveal a more intimate and, to some extent, unknown side of the woman who would be the last Tudor."
  • ""Isabel I de Inglaterra, imponente en su papel de soberana, desplegó una acción política sin precedentes en la Europa del siglo XVI. La reina protestante se enfrentó a católicos y calvinistas en su país y en buena parte de los estados vecinos; se midió con María Estuardo y Felipe II, a quienes se impuso con inteligencia y valentía, al tiempo que desbarataba un complot contra su persona y armaba un gran ejército. En su lecho de muerte repasa las gestas por las que fue temida y reverenciada, pero entre sus recuerdos también hay lugar para sus seres queridos, como su fiel servidor Walsingham o su amante, Robert Dudley, caído en la batalla contra la Armada Invencible. Mucho tiempo después, Lettice, la esposa legítima de Dudley, cuenta a sus nietos, conmovida y sin rencor, la historia de la gran reina. Conocida como la Reina Virgen por su negativa a contraer matrimonio, Isabel I ha pasado a la historia como una gobernante implacable. Margaret George, en este relato a dos voces, desmonta el mito de Isabel I como mujer fría y desapasionada al descubrirnos el perfil más íntimo y, hasta cierto punto, desconocido de quien sería la última Tudor"--Dust jacket."
