Edith Sitwell

The Queens and the Hive

London: Macmillan, 1962

First printing


Edith Sitwell's poetic re-imagining of the Elizabethan Court, with the tempestuous relationships between female rulers at its center.


Elizabeth, Mary Tudor and Mary, Queen of Scots are contrasted with the baleful influence of Catharine de Medici, dictatorial rulers wrestling with conflicts between personal happiness and the demands of state.


Small owner name to first end board, hidden by jacket flap, otherwise a fine copy.
