Gloriana, books and lists

Top Ten books about Elizabeth I, from the Guardian. What an… interesting mixture. But shouldn’t there have been one serious biography in there somewhere?

Previous top tens from the G:

The Renaissance

Historical novels (Dorothy Dunnett at no. 1: now, I’m not arguing with that…)

Books on Shakespeare (except that they’re not all books on Shakespeare; several are more general early modern literary/cultural history. Whoever came up with the header here?)

Lost and threatened languages

Books from Wales

Fictional detectives
