The White Queen is a historical novel written by Russell Montague Garnier and first published in 1899. The story is set in 15th century England during the Wars of the Roses, a series of conflicts between the House of Lancaster and the House of York for the throne of England. The protagonist of the novel is Elizabeth Woodville, a widow and mother of two sons who catches the eye of King Edward IV. Despite strong opposition from his advisors and family, Edward marries Elizabeth in secret, causing a scandal in court. As Elizabeth becomes queen, she navigates the treacherous political landscape of the court and fights to protect her family and secure her husband's reign. She forms alliances with powerful figures such as Lord Warwick and tries to outmaneuver her enemies, including her husband's own brother, Richard of Gloucester. The novel also features other historical figures such as Margaret of Anjou, Henry VI, and Richard Neville, as well as fictional characters such as Elizabeth's mother and sister. The White Queen explores themes of love, power, loyalty, and betrayal, and offers a vivid portrayal of life in medieval England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
