*Includes pictures of the queens and important people, places, and events in their lives. *Discusses the Elizabethan era and Victorian era in depth and looks at their legacies and depictions in pop culture. "Video et taceo." ("I see, and say nothing") - Queen Elizabeth I "Since it has pleased Providence to place me in this station, I shall do my utmost to fulfil my duty towards my country; I am very young and perhaps in many, though not in all things, inexperienced, but I am sure that very few have more real good will and more real desire to do what is fit and right than I have." - Queen Victoria, 1837 England has had no shortage of influential monarchs, but only Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria had their nation's age literally named after them. Both the Elizabethan era and Victorian era have come to symbolize a golden age of peace and progress in every aspect of British life, with the long reigns of both queens also providing stability. When Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952, many commentators heralded the beginning of her reign as the second Elizabethan age. The first one, of course, concerned the reign of Henry VIII's second surviving daughter and middle surviving child, Queen Elizabeth I, one of England's most famous and influential rulers. It was an age when the arts, commerce and trade flourished. It was the epoch of gallantry and great, enduring literature. It was also an age of wars and military conflicts in which men were the primary drivers and women often were pawns. Elizabeth I changed the rules of the game and indeed she herself was changed by the game. She was a female monarch of England, a kingdom that had unceremoniously broken with the Catholic Church, and the Vatican and the rest of Christendom was baying for her blood. She had had commercial and militaristic enemies galore. In the end, she helped change the entire structure of female leadership. Elizabeth I still wielded great power in the 16th century, whereas Victoria was a constitutional monarch with limited power over the workings of the British government. But in a way, that made Victoria even more unique, as she still proved able to mold the cultural identity of a nearly 65 year long epoch. Furthermore, Victoria established some of the ceremonial customs of the British monarch and became both the forerunner and role model of subsequent queens, a legacy that continues to endure with her great-great granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II. Though Britain's longest reigning monarch is now mostly associated with conservative values (particularly strict morality and traditional social and gender roles), Victoria and her era oversaw the cultural and technological progress of Britain and the West in general, architectural revivals, and the expansion of imperialism. While some of these developments have been perceived negatively over a century later, Britons of the 19th century and early 20th century often viewed the Victorian Era as the height of their nation's power and influence. England's Greatest Queens chronicles the lives and reigns of Elizabeth I and Victoria, as well as the eras they lived in. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in her life, you will learn about Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria like you never have before, in no time at all.

"A luminous and fascinating narrative. Mr. Hume's masterly and impartial narrative. It is undeniably an important addition to the history of the Elizabethan period, and it will rank as the foremost authority on the most interesting aspect of the character of the Tudor Queen." -Pall Mall Gazette "Among the historians of the later Victorian era Mr. Hume will take high rank. His contributions to our knowledge of Elizabethan times are the result of attainments which no other writer can claim to possess. He is to be congratulated on producing a work with which no student can afford to dispense if desirous of understanding the character of Elizabeth, and which no other living Englishman could have produced." -The Observer "Eminently thorough and lucid, and throws fresh light on what has long been one of the most perplexing as it will ever be the most amusing chapter in the English annals." -The Glasgow Herald "A clear and very interesting account. An excellent book." -The Times of London "We would counsel a perusal of that very remarkable volume, 'The Courtships of Queen Elizabeth,' which, besides being in the highest degree entertaining, furnishes utterly new views of the spacious times of great Elizabeth." -The Daily Telegraph "Without a perusal of Mr. Hume's most researchful and interesting volume, no one, no student even of Froude can claim to have thoroughly grasped the character and aims of our good Queen Bess." --The Daily Chronicle "Mr. Hume...has gone to the fountain-head. A connected and consistent - though assuredly a most extraordinary story. A fascinating picture." -The Daily Standard "Mr. Hume has performed his task admirably. In his hands the story of a unique series of farcical courtships becomes a luminous study in sixteen century international diplomacy." -The Daily News "A careful and learned piece of work. "-The Manchester Guardian "A serious and able work." -The Spectator "The story is altogether a very remarkable one, and is now told for the first time with fulness and accuracy. Students of English and European history during the critical sixteenth century period cannot afford to overlook this strikingly interesting volume." -The Freeman "It has the interest of a novel. This engrossing history of the various negotiations for the Queen's marriage." -The Sketch "It is Mr. Hume's purpose to show that Elizabeth's levity and fickleness were deliberately used to further the interest of England at a time when craft had to make up for weakness; that in the role of Aphrodite she played the part of Minerva. For this, however, he gives her scant credit, professing not to know where sheer vanity and a sort of passion ended and far-sighted policy began. The view he gives is of the woman rather than the queen....Mr. Hume shows her darting from one affair of the heart to another, like a bee from flower to flower, careless of what the world thought, utterly indifferent generally, after the adieux were exchanged, to the feelings of the disappointed swain, but almost savagely jealous of them while the comedy or tragedy, whichever it was, was in progress....Plucked of its feathers the peacock would be but a sorry spectacle; so Queen Elizabeth, divested of every splendid accomplishment that marked her reign, is not an heroic figure....We lay down the volume feeling that the courtships of Queen Elizabeth were very gay, very clever, very important; ready to admit that Mr. Hume has made them appear heartless; but still, it must be confessed, not altogether persuaded that good Queen Bess was absolutely proof against Cupid's darts." -The Bookman
