Description
Elizabeth takes the throne as the fifth volume of Froude's History opens, in the 1860 printing. Scotland's crisis presses at once on the young queen's council. Catholic Europe watches, while Knox's fiery Scotland offers both threat and chance.
Froude's Elizabeth emerges here in full, brilliant and self-possessed. She moves with a caution far beyond her years among great dangers. Plots at home and pressure abroad test her nerve from the start. The volume launches the reign that dominates the rest of his history, and it shows a queen determined, above all, to survive and to rule.
