Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Elizabeth, Queen of England A far greater sovereign than woman was Eliza beth of England. Inheriting grave defects of charac ter, she developed commanding qualities of mind. Intriguing, lying, courting flattery, she carried on a series of amours while governing her land with rare sagacity, never allowing her chamber-maid's heart to influence her statesman's head. Ascending the throne at a time when the world was witnessing the begin nings of a terrible convulsion she dexterously piloted her own realm past threatening disaster into a period of unexampled prosperity and splendor. Ignoring her faults, grievous as they were, England calls her its Virgin Queen and renders her homage as one of its greatest rulers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Elizabeth These were not creditable proceedings to submit to the judgment of'the English people. They were not attached to Catherine, and they ardently wished for a male successor to the throne. They had not sympathised with the King's foreign policy, and they longed to be free from its complications, and manage their national concerns in peace. They had no love for the Pope, and wished priests and monks to be reduced to their due place in the new society which was slowly coming into existence. They were desirous of more common-sense and simplicity in religious matters, and had little sympathy with the old-fashioned pretentiousness of the Churchmen. They were quite willing that the King should manage his personal matters as he thought best, provided he left them in peace. But still, when all had been done and settled, they shook their heads, and felt that there had been at work an amount of.

To make lists of her faults and virtues is easy. One may say with little fear of contradiction that her in tellect was magnificent and her vanity almost in credibly childish; that she was at one time the most outspoken of women, at another the most untruthful; that on one occasion she would mani fest a dignity thalz was truly sovereign, while on another the rudeness; of filler: manners was un worthy oi even the ageein which she lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intolerance in the Reign of Elizabeth: Queen of England IN the preparation of this study the writer has attempted to make the text interesting and intelligible to the average reader. He has, therefore, relegated the dry bones and paraphernalia of study to the footnotes and a bibliograph ical appendix. The material for the reign of Elizabeth is so voluminous, however, that footnotes and bibliography are not complete. The footnotes do not represent all the material upon which statements in the text are based, but the writer believes that the authorities given amply sup port the opinions and conclusions there expressed.

Download or read book Two Historical Plays on the Life and Reign of Queen Elizabeth Classic Reprint written by Thomas Heywood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Historical Plays on the Life and Reign of Queen Elizabeth The first part, (which we may call The Troubles of Queen Elizabeth as it has come down to us, can only be considered the fragment of a play, and, upon evidence we shall adduce presently, we may assume that it found its way to the press by means of short hand notes, taken m the theatre while the drama was in a course of representation. Why the author did not think it worth while, in any subsequent impression, to render it more complete, we know not. The second part, which deals with the events of Elizabeth's reign, as our readers will perceive, is much more perfect, and runs out to a much greater length: from that, we feel persuaded, nothing important was omitted. When, therefore, Heywood printed, in his Pleasant Dialogues and Dramas, 8vo, 1637, (p. 248) the follow ing Prologue and Epilogue, he must have intended them, and the introduction to them, to apply only to the first part, The Troubles of Queen Elizabeth, beginning in her minority, and ending with her accession to the royal throne, a potent Queen, in November, 1558.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parish Life Under Queen Elizabeth: An Introductory Study My object in this little book is to present a broad picture of Elizabethan life. I have called it an Introductory Study, as it would require a larger volume than this to deal with the details of such a complicated subject. The book is intended for the general reader, who may wish to know some thing of how the Elizabethan Reformation affected the every-day life of the people. As there is so much in dispute, I have thought it best to add references, and these may be of some aid to students of the period: In addition, they will serve to give some support to my posit'wns and to clear the air amid the dust of controversy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Courtships of Queen Elizabeth: A History of the Various Negotiations for Her Marriage That a strong modern England was rendered possible mainly by the boldness, astuteness, and activity of Elizabeth at the critical turning-point of European history is generally admitted; but how masterly her policy was, and how entirely personal to herself, is even yet perhaps not fully understood. I have therefore endeavoured in this book to follow closely from end to end one strand only of the com plicated texture, in the hope that I may succeed by this means in exhibiting the general process by which England, under the guidance of the great Tudor Queen, was able to emerge regenerated and triumphant from the struggle which was to settle the fate of the world for centuries to come.

Download or read book The Private Character of Queen Elizabeth Classic Reprint written by Frederick Chamberlin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Private Character of Queen Elizabeth When, eight years ago, I set aside all other affairs to write a biographyof Queen Elizabeth, I planned the usual chronological work that, volume by volume, would unfold her career from her birth to her death - this despite the warning of Sir Anthony Weldon, who, in A Brief History of the Kings of England (1652), omitted all particulars of the reign of Elizabeth with this cryptic explanation: "If why I omit ... Queen Elizabeth, I answer I have nothing to do with women, and I wish I never had." I have, however, never been able to control the MS. of this publication. The material for it, as it gradually came to light, demanded a treatment other than that provided by the original scheme; and in the end I have had to submit to the most radical alterations of it. The same will probably be said of the succeeding volume. At the outset I was led to a most critical reading of Froude and Lingard - a comparison of their more important statements with the facts, and a weighing of their interpretation and treatment of them. In this I made the usual error of approaching Froude's twelve volumes from the standpoint of the ordinary reader - that is, as a continuous story of the Reformation period. Taken in this fashion, Froude is irresistible. He has had few equals as a writer of attractive English prose, and as an alluring historian none at all, except Macaulay. His many thousand pages are as fascinating as the best of romances. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Elizabeth: Various Scenes and Events in the Life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was Of majestic and graceful form, a little above the medium height, neither too high nor too low, as she herself naively re marked. She had hair of a colour between pale auburn and yellow, black eyes, which were beau tiful and lively, a fair, clear complexion, a Roman nose, a small mouth with thin, firmly set lips, and a forehead broad and high. Her face was striking and commanding rather than delicately beautiful, the countenance of one born to rule. She pos sessed many personal attractions and no one could be more charming and gracious upon occasion than this mighty Princess of the Royal House of Tudor, with that slow, sweet smile of hers and her quick, ever-ready wit. Sir Francis Bacon says, She was tall Of stature, of comely limbs, and excellent feature in her countenance; majesty sat under veil of sweet ness, and her health was sound and prosperous.
