Description: This modern biography reveals in Eleanor a greatness of vision, an intelligence, and a political sagacity that have been missed by those who have dwelt on her caprice and frivolity. It also brings to life the whole period in whose every aspect the queen and her four kings were so intimately and influentially involved.
Brief description: Amy Ruth Kelly (1877-1962) was Associate Professor of English at Wellesley College until her retirement in 1943.
Review Quotes: A magnificent book, thorough and complete and beautifully written.--Thomas B. Costain
