The Tortoise and the Hare
In affairs of the heart the race is not necessarily won by the swift or the fair. Imogen, the beautiful and much younger wife of distinguished barrister Evelyn Gresham, is facing the greatest challenge of her married life. Their neighbour Blanche Silcox, competent, middle-aged and ungainly - the very opposite of Imogen - seems to be vying for Evelyn's attention. And to Imogen's increasing disbelief, she may be succeeding. 'A subtle and beautiful book ... Very few authors combine her acute psychological insight with her grace and style. There is plenty of life in the modern novel, plenty of authors who will shock and amaze you - but who will put on the page a beautiful sentence, a sentence you will want to read twice?' Hilary Mantel, Sunday Times
Elizabeth the Great
"This landmark biography gives an intimate portrait of the enigmatic Virgin Queen." "Elizabeth Jenkins illuminates in great detail the personal and private life of Elizabeth I. Was she bald? What precisely was her sex-life? What were her emotional attachments?" "No other biography provides such a personal study of the Queen and her court--their daily lives, concerns, topics of conversation, meals, living conditions, travels, successes and failures-but it also places them firmly within the historical context of 16th century Britain. An authoritative history of the period enlightened by a thorough understanding of Elizabethan society and an intimate portrait of the Queen.-- Book Jacket.
Elizabeth and Leicester
In his own way Leicester was as mysterious a person as the Queen. His influence on her, from the beginning of her reign until his death in 1588, was constant and incalculable ¿ greater than that of anyone else save Burleigh ¿ though he was generally unpopular among his fellow courtiers, detested by the populace as a whole, and lampooned by the writers of the day. Leicester¿s complex character, his lavish entertaining, his encouragement of the arts, his day-by-day activities ¿ as courtier, Master of the Queen¿s Horse, Chancellor of Oxford, leader of the English forces in the war of the Netherlands against Spain ¿ are all brought vividly to life. First published in 1961.

Jane Austen
"An acknowledged triumph of literary insight, Elizabeth Jenkins' life of Jane Austen has been for many years a favorite portrait of this remarkable woman. At the same time it is an absorbing evocation of social life amongst the country gentry of Georgian England. This is the world of Jane's small circle of friends and her large and affectionate family - the world she depicted so brilliantly in her novels. Elizabeth Jenkins, herself a distinguished novelist, shows how Jane Austen's life in Hampshire, Bath and London was reflected in her novels ; and by drawing on the writer's sparkling correspondence with her sister, on family reminiscences and on the novels themselves, she builds up a sensitive picture of Jane Austen's emotional and creative life. In doing so she shows how her great gifts developed from the early novels to the remarkable achievements of her maturity: Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion."--Back cover.
