Intrigue. Betrayal. Unconsummated love. Danger. Ascending the English throne at a turbulent time Elizabeth I was a brilliant and canny stateswoman, politician, and ruler whose own letters provide a captivating peek into her inner thoughts, desires, heartaches, fears, doubts, and joys. Intertwined with speeches from Shakespeare her letters paint a portrait of this complex and remarkable woman.
