Elizabeth I and Her Circle by Susan Doran

4.0

Review - A very new and original way of looking at Elizabeth I - through the eyes of those around her. Including excellent sections on William Cecil, Mary Queen of Scots, Robert Dudley and the Earl of Essex in particular, this book also looks at Elizabeth's relationships with her parents and siblings as well as her wider family like the Greys and the Scottish side. Definitely well-worth a read. I do wish, however, that the book had focused wider as well, looking for example, at Cecil's building projects, and Dudley's relationship with his wife and siblings.
