"This book is a welcome addition to the sparse literature about one of England's more dynastically important queens. Illuminating and fascinating." - Renaissance Quarterly
"Arlene Okerlund's lucid biography of Elizabeth of York draws on detailed research to provide a long overdue account of the tumultuous life of one of England's best loved queens. It is a compelling tale of Renaissance culture and ritual, intrigue and tragedy." - J. L. Laynesmith, Author of The Last Medieval Queens
"Arlene Naylor Okerlund's fine biography Elizabeth of York sheds important light on a largely forgotten figure who stood at the center of one of the most turbulent periods in English history Written in an engaging, almost fictionlike style, this biography will have a broad appeal . . . It is unfortunate, however, that Elizabeth is so little remembered in her own right, but Arlene Naylor Okerlund's well-researched biography goes a long way toward remedying this historical shortcoming."- The Journal of British Studies
"This work aims to rescue the queen from the perception that she was a merely marginal player in the establishment of the Tudor dynasty. Forced to negotiate complex family relationships while maintaining a loving relationship with her husband and king, Okerlund's Elizabeth emerges as a figure central to the accomplishments of the first Tudor court, so much so that her early death produced a catastrophe from which Henry never recovered. Okerlund's biography produces a lively narrative and a credible portrait of the queen's character together with a meticulous reassessment of the available evidence." - Gordon Kipling, Professor of English, University of California, Los Angeles
