Elizabeth I's Perilous Path to the Throne
Illustrated Lecture, with book signing |

Queen Elizabeth I's greatness was shaped in no small measure by her turbulent childhood and youth. British historian and author Alison Weir explores Elizabeth's life and relationships before her accession to the throne -- years when she came perilously close to the scaffold more than once. Drawing on a wealth of original source material, Weir traces the development of Elizabeth's complex character and describes the challenges she faced and the conflicts in which she was involved. Book signing follows.

Meet the Author: Grant Hayter-Menzies
Lecture with book signing |
|
|
Spend a lively evening with author Grant Hayter-Menzies as he reads from and discusses his latest book Imperial Masquerade: The Legend of Princess Der Ling. This colorful yet historically accurate biography of Princess Der Ling (a.k.a. Mrs. Elizabeth Antoinette White), a 20th-century writer during the Qing dynasty, explores her legacy as a witness to history (and as an apologist of the much-reviled Empress Dowager Cixi). The princess herself was a figure of controversy; arguments over her continue to rage in and outside of China to this very day. Book signing follows. Celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
