A biographical/critical study of three mid-century American poets: Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell and Marianne Moore. It describes their mutual influence, evokes their world and evaluates their work, with an emphasis on its biographical underpinnings.
'Gloriana', 'Faerie Queene', 'Queen Bess' are just some of the names given to Elizabeth I, the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. The author challenges the many myths and truths surrounding Elizabeth's life and reveals the passionate woman behind the powerful and fearless 'Virgin Queen'.
