Review:
'this book!is vivid, lucid and engaging!his judgements delivered with quasi-Pontifical assurance are often acute!a very enjoyable book.' Daily Telegraph 'David Starkey tours England's monarchical horizon with gusto.' Sunday Times 'Excellent!the really crucial events in the history of the British Monarchy since the Middle Ages are assessed with authority, wisdom and wit!This is Starkey at his fluent and entertaining best.' Sunday Telegraph 'Combines compelling narrative and lucid analysis to guide us with a sure hand through two centuries of domestic turmoil unparalleled in any other period of English history!nowhere is there to be found a better short summary of the Glorious Revolution of 1688!Starkey's book will undoubtedly make him and his publishers a tidy profit.' The Spectator 'I found myself compelled by David Starkey's vivid recreation of the hazardous uncertainty of Elizabeth's early life, her successive exclusions from the centre of power, the studiedly ambiguous answers she offered her interrogators, her inevitable implications in conspiracies and narrow escapes from execution.' Times Literary Supplement 'Combines a relaxed and unfussy style with a thorough knowledge of the period and a sharp eye for detail. Elizabeth's life makes for a compelling story and Starkey tells it well.' Spectator 'Taken together!these two books supply the best short history of England written since J.R. Green in the 1870s!all of the familiar stories are here, from Alfred and his cakes, to the passion and elevation of St Diana of Knightsbridge!this is an enterprise of surpassing excellence. For those who wish for a panoramic view of English history!this is a study!that can be highly recommended.' Times Literary Supplement
