Description: "England's Elizabeth explores the Elizabeths of Shakespeare and Spenser, of Sophia Lee and Sir Walter Scott, of Bette Davis and Glenda Jackson, of Shakespeare in Love and Blackadder II. It is a spirited investigation of England's perennial fascination with a queen who is still engaged in a posthumous progress through the collective pysche of her country."--Jacket.
