Queen, Jewel, Mistress

"Listen to the voices of the Queens of England and Britain, from the Anglo-Saxon era to the modern age, as each one is evoked through poetry. Some poems are instantly recognisable as they mimic a familiar form or poet; others are free verse or epistle. Each poem captures a distinct personality and gives the reader the experience of moving through different poetic styles as well as observing the changing role of a queen or consort"--back cover.
