From Library Journal:

Ridley, author of previous biographies of such figures from the Tudor era as Thomas Cranmer and Henry VIII, along with lives of Lord Palmerston and Garibaldi, has a solid reputation as a biographical writer. The present work considerably enhances that reputation. Elizabeth I, with her enigmatic personality and a large measure of charisma, has attracted myriad biographers. Ridley's work is, quite simply, one of the best. Indeed, it ranks alongside Sir John Neale's life. Carefully researched, balanced, and entertaining (as befits the subject), it belongs on the shelves of most libraries. No Tudor buff will want to miss it. James A. Casada, Winthrop Coll., Rock Hill, S.C.
