Caroline Weber
Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution

2006 y.
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
Description: `Plenty of proof here, from an associate professor of French at Barnard, that clothes did indeed make the woman. Weber`s thesis, made clear at the outset, is that the dauphine-soon-turned-queen`s costumes became an accurate symbol of her individuality and personality versus political unrest. No minutiae is left unnoticed, for example, Marie Antoinette`s struggles with the strictly mandated whalebone corset was the epitome of her initial lack of acceptance by the French court, whereas her creation of the three-foot-high pouffed hair-dress was emblematic of her preoccupation with fashion. One revolution in women`s accoutrements, unfortunately, was swapped for another more deadly revolution in politics and freedom. Tales of intrigue dot every page (for instance, the long-standing feud with Louis XV`s mistress, Comtesse du Barry), as do the foibles of commoners and royalty. Using bold and engaging prose, the author has created a whole new appreciation for academic writings`. … [detailed...]

Jean Plaidy
Queen of This Realm: The Tudor Queens

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this `memoir` by Elizabeth I, legendary historical novelist Jean Plaidy reveals the Virgin Queen as she truly was: the bewildered, motherless child of an all-powerful father, a captive in the Tower of London, a shrewd politician, a lover of the arts, and eventually, an icon of an era. It is the story of her improbable rise to power and the great triumphs of her reign--the end of religious bloodshed, the settling of the New World, the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Brilliantly clever, a scholar with a ready wit, she was also vain, bold, and unpredictable, a queen who commanded--and won--absolute loyalty from those around her. But in these pages, in her own voice, Elizabeth also recounts the emotional turmoil of her life: the loneliness of power, the heartbreak of her lifelong love affair with Robert Dudley, whom she could never marry, and the terrible guilt of ordering the execution of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots. In this unforgettable novel, Elizabeth emerges as one of… [detailed...]

Queen of the Amazons (Alexander the Great)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Judith Tarr returns to the always fascinating character of Alexander the Great in this fantasy novel that springs from the legend that the Queen of the Amazons came to meet him in Persia, and became his friend. Hippolyta was Penthesilea, or Queen of the Amazons. She ruled as war leader and high priestess of a scattered tribe of women warriors who had dwelt on the high plains to the north and east of Persia for time out of mind. They were not isolated---travelers came and went through their territory, bringing news from the west, and carrying tales of the warrior women back home with them. But the Queen had a great grief in her life: her daughter and heir was a strange child. The girl had been born, so the Priestesses said, without a soul. And it was true that she was like no other child alive. She did not speak, and often seemed not to even see the people around her. She could not dress or feed herself, but she could ride and hunt like no other woman… [detailed...]

Peter Gregory
Queen

2007 y.
Publisher: Mason Crest
Description: In `Queen`, readers will learn the story of possibly one of the most unique bands in rock music history. The band gets much of the credit for spreading the word of hard rock music across the United Kingdom and the United States. Big shows and a big sound characterized the band fronted by a rather diminutive man, Freddie Mercury. But as the author tells, there was nothing small about the talents of Freddie and the other members of the band. Freddie grabbed a hold of an audience with the first note the sang, and he never let go until the last note of the last song had passed. Not all was smooth for the band, as readers of `Queen` will discover. Freddie`s death devastated the band and its fans. Still, the group has continued to perform, earning a new group of fans at each show. [detailed...]

Ray Tedman
Queen

2008 y.
Publisher: Reynolds &, Hearn
Description: Singer Farrokh Bulsara - better known as Freddie Mercury, bassist John Deacon, guitarist Brian May, and drummer Roger Taylor became, from 1971, collectively known as Queen. Clashing together an outrageously eclectic set of influences, the band found a winning formula. The visual style of the band meant that they were a constant target for rock`s elite photographers. The seemingly endless string of hit singles and albums was tragically cut short by Mercury`s death in 1991, but the fans` fascination with the band has never waned. This new hardback edition features outstanding images taken from the archives of the UK`s largest picture library of show business and the performing arts. [detailed...]

Lisa Hilton
Queens Consort: The Autobiography

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: England`s medieval queens were elemental in shaping the history of the nation. In an age where all politics were family politics, dynastic marriages placed English queens at the very centre of power - the king`s bed. From Matilda of Flanders, the Conqueror`s queen, to Elizabeth of York, the first Tudor consort, England`s queens fashioned the nature of monarchy and influenced the direction of the state. Occupying a unique position in the mercurial, often violent world of medieval state-craft, English queens had to negotiate a role that combined tremendous influence with terrifying vulnerability. Lisa Hilton`s meticulously researched new book explores the lives of the twenty women who were crowned queen between 1066 and 1503, reconsidering the fictions surrounding well-known figures like Eleanor of Aquitaine and illuminating the lives of forgotten figures such as Adeliza of Louvain. War, adultery, witchcraft, child abuse, murder - and occassionally even love - formed English queenship,… [detailed...]

Queens of Havana: The Amazing Adventures of Anacaona, Cuba`s Legendary All-Girl Dance Band

2007 y.
Publisher: Grove Press
Description: The 1930s saw Havana undergoing a seismic cultural renaissance. At night in the aires libres (open air cafes), tourists and foreign investors rubbed shoulders with the likes of Ernest Hemingway as they sipped cocktails, cavorted with Cuban beauties, and listened to suggestive melodies from Havana’s unmatched musical community. It was rare for women to attend, and unheard of for them to perform. But when greengrocer Matias Castro, father of thirteen, goes bankrupt, his eldest daughter has the idea of starting an all-girl band with her sisters—an outrageous idea in macho Cuba, but a surefire money maker. Every evening, as the rum began to flow, Anacaona took to the stage to let rip—jazz, mambo, rumba, and cha-cha—their infectious rhythms, cheeky lyrics, and sheer sex appeal conquer their audiences’ hearts. In this evocative memoir, saxophonist Alicia Castro, now in her eighties, looks back on the Havana of yesterday and the dazzling career of the dance band, from concerts in Paris and… [detailed...]

Queenship and Political Discourse in The Elizabethan Realms (Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book re-evaluates the nature of Elizabethan politics and Elizabeth`s queenship in late sixteenth-century England, Wales and Ireland. Natalie Mears shows that Elizabeth took an active role in policy-making and suggests that Elizabethan politics has to be perceived in terms of personal relations between the queen and her advisors rather than of the hegemony of the privy council. She challenges current perceptions of political debate and, by providing the first survey of the nature of political debate outside the court, re-evaluates how historians have and should conceptualise the `public sphere`.

Queenship and Sanctity: The Lives of Mathilda and the Epitaph of Adelheid (Medieval Texts in Translation)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAt the dawn of the second millennium, authors from monasteries in Burgundy and northern Germany recorded the lives and deaths of two powerful and pious women, Mathilda (d. 968) and Adelheid (d. 999). Both were extolled as saints, exemplary figures guided by God and witnessing to His grace. Unlike most other holy women, however, Mathilda and Adelheid were not ascetic nuns, but queens. They were deemed worthy of praise not only for their devotion to God and their lives of faith, but for integrating these traditional virtues with more `worldly` attributes: noble birth, royal marriage, political power, and illustrious offspring. In turn, the saintly reputations of both women were used by their biographers to advance the interests not only of their own ecclesiastical communities, but of a new generation of secular rulers. Queenship and Sanctity brings together for the first time in English the anonymous Lives of Mathilda and Odilo of Cluny`s Epitaph of Adelheid. Richly… [detailed...]

Description: In May 1704 an eighty-ton brigantine, the Charles, quietly slipped into the cove at Marblehead, Massachusetts. Her sudden and unexpected appearance, some ten months after she had left Marblehead under mysterious circumstances, started tongues wagging down at the docks and in the town’s dim, cramped, seafront taverns.

In the hold of the Charles lay large quantities of Brazilian sugar, hides, cloth, guns, and gold dust and coins worth more than 10,000 sterling—a huge fortune for the time.This booty and the circumstances of the ship’s voyage led to Quelch’s arrest on charges of piracy and murder against the subjects of Queen Anne’s newest ally, the king of Portugal.
