Queen Elizabeth I
Books: Novels

Over the years, many novels have been published about Queen Elizabeth I and her world. Some writers, like Rosalind Miles, have attempted to write the Queen's story from her own point of view, others have written in the third person, and others have written fictional stories about the Queen and her court. Whether a reader's taste is adventure, romance, drama, mystery, or conspiracy, there is a novel to suit. The works of some authors, like Margaret Irwin and Jean Plaidy, have been enjoyed for many years and continue to be popular, whereas other novels have fallen into obscurity. At least one new novel featuring Queen Elizabeth is published every year as her remarkable life continues to inspire writers to write her story.
