Krátky popis
Matthew Dennison's elegant and magisterial biography of Her late
Majesty, updated following the death of Elizabeth II and the
accession of King Charles III. 'A worthy and balanced overview of
the Queen's life. Dennison is especially good on her
childhood...quietly, tactfully, tastefully reverent.'The TimesThe
death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022 was more than just
a moment of profound sadness, her passing marked the end of an era
in our national life - and the final closing of the Elizabethan
Age. For millions of people, both in Britain and across the world,
Elizabeth II was the embodiment of monarchy. Her long life spanned
nearly a century of national and global history, from a time before
the Great Depression to the era of Covid-19.Her reign embraced all
but seven years of Britain's postwar history up to the accession of
her son King Charles III, she was served by fifteen UK prime
ministers from Churchill to Truss, and witnessed the
administrations of fourteen US presidents from Truman to Biden. In
this brand-new biography of the longest-reigning sovereign in
British history, Matthew Dennison traces her life and reign across
an era of unprecedented and often seismic social change. Stylish in
its writing and nuanced in its judgements, The Queen charts the
joys and triumphs as well as the disappointments and vicissitudes
of a remarkable royal life, it also assesses the achievement of a
woman regarded as the champion of a handful of 'British' values
endorsed - if no longer practised - by the bulk of the nation:
service, duty, steadfastness, charity and stoicism.
