However, the queen herself has received little credit for these achievements and has long been pictured as a weak and ineffectual monarch dominated by her advisers. This landmark biography of Queen Anne shatters that image and establishes her as a personality of integrity and invincible stubbornness, the central figure of her age. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePraise for the earlier edition: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A thoughtful and . . . authoritative study, easily the best thing we have on the Queen.
