Carolly Erickson
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.

Erickson’s writing is so good, the narrator’s numerous errors and flubs can be ignored as if it is fine dinner served on chipped plates.

If you could sum up The First Elizabeth in three words, what would they be?
I thought I knew Elizabeth 1 of England but this book convinced me of how much more I did not know. An enjoyable, well researched book. NOTE: She is Elizabeth 1st of EnglandThe United Kingdom did not exist during this period. Elizabeth 2nd is an error.
Yes, I am opinionated
