An updated edition of Ben Pimlott's classic biography of the Queen: ' There is no better biography of Elizabeth II.' PETER HENNESSY, Independent on Sunday The royal family have been through a tumultuous decade, but with the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton, Prince Philip's 90th birthday & the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee celebrations, there is renewed interest & appreciation of our monarchy. The Queen is an in-depth look at the woman at the centre of it all & is the only biography to take Elizabeth II seriously as the subject of historical biography, or to examine the influences that formed her & the ideas she represents. Ben Pimlott (described by Andrew Marr in the Independent as 'the best writer of political biography now writing') treats the Head of State to the rigorous & objective scrutiny he applied to major political personalities, using a wide range of sources, including interviews, diaries & letters, & papers in the Royal Archives. The Queen looks at the social, political & psychological aspects of his subject in detail, as well as at the changing role of Monarchy in the British Constitution. In the process, the book displays all the author's formidable analytic & narrative skills, & provides a gripping yet sensitive account of one of the most publicised
- yet least known
- figures of our time. It is vital reading for all those who care about public life in Britain
- past, present & to come.
