La biografia di Elizabeth I, regina d’Inghilterra dal 1558 al 1603. Figlia di Enrico VIII e della sua seconda moglie Anna Bolena, fu segnata psicologicamente sin da piccola dal desiderio del padre di avere un figlio maschio erede al trono.
Sotto di lei l’Inghilterra conobbe un momento di grande splendore: si affermò come potenza navale, gettando le fondamenta del futuro impero britannico, sviluppò l’economia e i commerci e visse quello che per l’arte e la cultura fu definito il Secolo d’Oro, con autori come Edmund Spenser, Ben Johnson, Christopher Marlowe e William Shakespeare.
Una stimolante lettura che offre approfondimenti, conoscenze e curiosità sul periodo.
